Benefits of analytics and artificial intelligence in smart cities
By:admin |
Some consider Artificial Intelligence as a great tool that can help in multiple industries, however, others see it as a threat to human work. In recent days, AI has given a lot to talk about since it is present in various areas of society, from design and writing, to video surveillance solutions.
Although at first glance you might think that AI would eventually replace human work, you must understand its background to assimilate that it is a complement that allows both efficiency and accuracy. Both of these attributes are ideal for video surveillance, be it for a company or a city.
In this way, AI becomes a great ally for smart cities which, according to the United Nations, “are those that use technology as a tool to optimize the efficiency of the city and its economy, as long as it serves to improve the quality of life of citizens and protect nature”. This is aligned with the data and analytics trends for 2023 that indicate the increase in the use of AI by companies.
What are the benefits of using AI in video surveillance solutions in smart cities?
The use of AI allows the automation of processes and the improvement of experiences, making it easier for the personnel in charge of video surveillance to find and fix their attention on a specific video. For example, if you want to search for a specific person or object, AI will be very useful to find it efficiently, but it must be operated by a human being.
Being constantly learning, AI is also ideal for detecting unusual behavior. This intelligence is self-taught, constantly feeding on information and can detect if there are any anomalies. For example, it considers it normal to see several cars traveling on the road and can detect when there is a traffic jam. This is very useful so that an alert is generated and a solution can be found in time.
For a smart city, it is essential to be able to have real-time monitoring. This is so that the relevant authorities can be proactive instead of reactive. It should be noted that a video surveillance solution can become much more effective if it is combined with other sensors such as temperature, weather or noise sensors. This is because by analyzing the combined data it can provide a solution to one of the sustainability problems that arise in the city, such as noise pollution in certain places.
Currently, Axis Communications has several analytics solutions that are adaptable and scalable to user needs. What analytics seek is to provide information based on audio, video and other data that allow effective action. This is achieved thanks to the AI used in the data conversion. With this, it is possible to detect, for example, when an object is not part of the “normal” environment and provide recommendations, which is very relevant for the person in charge of video surveillance.
Analytics for video surveillance solutions can be used for safety and security issues whether it is to detect loitering, track vehicles or identify objects. They can also be used for operational efficiency, which is used for example to automate processes. “Axis seeks to take video surveillance further and that is why we are continuously generating improvements that allow us to provide viable solutions to the problems that large cities face, especially in terms of sustainability and security,” said Ignacio Cabañas, Key Account Manager of Axis Communications.
“In addition, everything about Axis analytics solutions is designed to be simple. From quick and intuitive configuration to seamless integration with their own systems, thanks to our open platform”, highlighted Ignacio Cabañas.
