Intelligent monitoring: chip manufacturers push market on a small scale boots

Video surveillance to IP and development of digital directions, elevating it to the video content acquisition and storage capacity, use the "mass" of the video data to describe the current monitoring system is not too much.

But at the same time, large amounts of data also created the information processing challenges, i.e. how timely in the flood of information found useful information. This leads to the video surveillance in another very useful technology — smart analysis. Intelligent analysis technology for video surveillance chips, solutions, systems and software manufacturers to create new growth opportunities.

Intelligent analysis to achieve two purposes

Keshengxun systems imaging and PC Media Business Department: Marketing Vice President Rene Hartner believes that intelligent analysis functions on the video monitor is very important and useful.

This product market very quickly, he said, now monitoring product acquisition and storage of many data sources, but due to the lack of analysis tools for data analysis and is not in place, the video surveillance system is not able to find the problem. But if you have a smart analysis tools, you will have very good monitoring results.

Now intelligent analysis technology has attracted the attention of the larger, related applications market is also started.

Its specific application mainly include event detection and behavior analysis, advanced video motion detection and object tracking, character facial recognition, vehicle identification and illegal detention and other security areas and some of the non-application of the security classes, such as demographics, crowd control and traffic control, etc.

Intelligent analysis of the application can improve accuracy and reduce leakage alarm analysis or the analysis of the phenomenon by mistake, you can shorten the response time to prevent the potential threats that can help people at large amounts of data in a quick search for useful information.

In recent years, with intelligent analysis function of the monitoring system started in some specific areas, such as railway stations, banks, shopping malls and other public occasions was using.

In conclusion, intelligent analysis to achieve two purposes, one is timely and useful information, capture real-time monitoring and analysis and to signal security personnel, reducing human error and will be monitored by staff from the boring "on screen" work out; another has been the rapid call data, because the mass of video data without intelligent search capabilities, rely on people to action, laborious and time-consuming.

This means that the front camera and back-end storage device two parts will have the intelligence function.

New algorithm uses to promote market growth

Intelligent analysis of history, has now been realized by the microcomputer post-processing steering conversion of embedded real-time processing, video algorithm is considered as the key to the development of technology.

Mainstream chip manufacturers are active in this market and develop and promote the development of the market.

Ann PA semiconductor technology (Shanghai) co., Ltd. senior firmware Manager Sun Lu Yi, told reporters that the realization of the intelligent way to a combination of factors, which is used depends on the complexity of the system.

In the all-digital system, you can use the IP camera's surplus computing capacity, or borrow extra processor or DSP (digital signal processing), also available through the DVR or application software on the PC is realized in the future can develop into a front-end and back-end systems integration to achieve advanced smart. According to this view, intelligent analysis of application not only to the chip manufacturers and system and software manufacturers to bring new opportunities for development.

Texas instruments is very early on in the field of video surveillance, one of its famous DSP Platform is the solution.

"Intelligent video analysis algorithms are complicated and require immediate implementation and code requires efficient, so the only high-speed DSP core can do. "Texas Instruments semiconductor technology (Shanghai) co., Ltd. General DSP business development manager Zheng dragons. He cited DM365 platform in hardware on a video front-end integrated face detection and video stabilization, and software Code on a Smart intelligent compression technology for low bit rate for the region of interest (ROI) for clarifications.

Sun Lu Yi said the intelligence analysis in the use of the network camera will be used as new algorithms and processor capable of growth and development, but he thought the microprocessor package is more important, "a network camera with DSP to make coprocessor, these camera shipments accounted for only a small share, and may soon be mainstream, easy programming of the microprocessor package.

"He said.

Manufacturers were on the market overall development speed view though, but all the trends expressed approval.

Sun Lu Yi, video intelligence analysis is still growth slow and targeted market, because it is still very difficult to achieve high reliability and low false positives. "But from a user perspective, they also do not want to be aware of the additional features additional charges. For these reasons, the current video smart analysis also in low-speed growth phase, it provides some basic functionality, such as system tamper-proof, cross-checking and motion detection, etc. ”

Zheng dragons indicates that, although the intelligent monitoring market demand for a more decentralized and support system is under construction, but the market has been started on a small scale, and deliver results, expected in the next few years, the market will have greater improvement.
