Devices capable of recording videos provide, without a doubt, valuable information. However, analysing all the recorded data and extracting the most important details can be a real challenge.
The more cameras are involved, for instance, in a surveillance process, the more challenging the assessment process of the collected data becomes. Fortunately, artificial intelligence is here to do the hard work for us. Artificial intelligence can replace the workload performed by a large team of people. It is accurate, fast, effective, and capable of learning and perfecting its methods.
Artificial intelligence uses special algorithms that are extremely complex and detailed, and it does this without the risk of errors occurring. AI can take a video lasting several hours and analyse every detail, searching for data of interest by following the movement and changes of every pixel in the image. Can people do this so effectively and accurately? The answer is no, as people get tired and lose their focus after a while. However, AI will remain consistent on the job and save a large amount of time by returning precisely the kind of results we are looking to obtain.
Integrating AI in the video analytics process means information is assessed faster. But the biggest advantage of using AI is the accuracy of the provided information, the speed of the assessment process, and the ability to let it work independently. You can easily find what you want with the help of AI even if you must look through large amounts of data. It can be taught to search for particular faces or license plate numbers, identifying them rapidly within video data. It can be also programmed to keep an eye on any kind of suspicious activity, providing notifications as soon as it is happening.
An amazing element is the ability of AI to learn and adapt, finding new and better ways for monitoring video data. So, it will not act like a robot, doing the same thing repeatedly, but improve with time, based on the collected data. It may be awkward to receive suggestions from a machine, but this machine could notice what people overlook and make processes even more effective.
