Range with AI
Panasonic has announced a collaboration with the software company A.I.Tech. It brings together the i-PRO range of security cameras with AI (artificial intelligence) and intelligent applications. It means, the firms say, a range of business solutions based on deep learning, many applicable to COVID-19 pandemic response, they add.
The deep learning applications run on the cameras, eliminating the need for extra servers for analytical calculations, the companies say. That can mean lower total cost of ownership of security infrastructure, as well as faster processing and more immediate alarms, notifications or information from the applications, it’s claimed.
AI applications can be used to help manage social distancing, occupancy levels and wearing of face masks, Panasonic says. Applications can also be used by retailers to serve the customer better; in ‘smart’ cities, for traffic monitoring and smart parking; and by event organisers and transports hubs to monitor for crowd safety.
The AI is integrated with the recently introduced Panasonic i-PRO X-Series camera range with AI engine, which includes six new models. The 5MP resolution cameras went on sale in July and the 4K resolution cameras come to market in November. All come with vandal resistant indoor and outdoor dome or box configurations.
Gerard Figols, European Head of the Panasonic Security Business Unit, said: “This combination of AI intelligence with our flexible and adaptable cameras offers a new generation of predictive business and security applications that will help our customers become more proactive in their daily operations. With the Panasonic i-PRO security cameras being open for third parties to develop their own ideas, it’s just the beginning of a new era of intelligent applications.”
Alessia Saggese, Sales & Marketing Director at A.I Tech, added: “For the first time, this collaboration allows customers to harness all the benefits of all our deep learning based applications by using the incredible power of the AI engine in the Panasonic i-PRO cameras. It’s a fantastic opportunity to tailor security hardware to the specific needs of a business or community.”
人工智能系列
Panasonic宣布与软件公司AITech合作。它将i-PRO系列安全
摄像机与AI（人工智能）和智能应用程序结合在一起。这两家公司表示，他们提供了一系列基于深度学习的业务解决方案，其中许多解决方案都适用于应对目前的新冠疫情。
两家公司表示，深度学习应用程序在摄像机上运行，从而无需额外的
服务器来进行分析计算。据称，这可能意味着降低安全基础架构的总拥有成本，加快处理速度，并从应用程序中获得更及时的警报、通知或信息。
Panasonic表示，人工智能应用程序可用于帮助管理社交距离、入住率和口罩佩戴。零售商还可以使用应用程序更好地为客户服务；在“智能”城市中，用于交通
监控和智能停车；并由活动组织者和交通枢纽来监控人群安全。
AI与最近推出的带有AI引擎的Panasonic i-PRO X系列摄像机系列集成在一起，其中包括六种新型号。5MP分辨率摄像机于7月上市，而4K分辨率摄像机于11月上市。所有产品均配有防破坏的室内和室外圆顶或外壳配置。
Panasonic安全业务部门欧洲负责人Gerard Figols表示：“将AI智能与摄像机灵活的相结合，可提供新一代的预测性业务和安全应用程序，这将帮助我们的客户在日常操作中变得更加主动。Panasonic i-PRO安全摄像机面向第三方开放以发展他们自己的构思，而这仅仅是智能应用新时代的开始。”
AI Tech的销售和市场总监Alessia Saggese补充道：“这项合作首次使客户能够利用Panasonic i-PRO摄像机中AI引擎的强大功能，以及我们所有基于深度学习的应用程序的所有优势。 这是为企业或社区的特定需求量身定制安全硬件的绝佳机会。”
