i-PRO AI Applications

Install Various types of applications to keep your i-PRO network camera on the cutting edge.

There are many types of AI applications that can be installed on network cameras at no additional cost. Although i-PRO network cameras are edge devices, they are in charge of various detection processes. As a result, the camera is responsible for the advanced processing and the server does not require expensive hardware.

AI Video Motion Detection (AI-VMD)

AI differentiates between vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, and people. It further detects and sends warning notifications when they enter a specified area. It can also count the number of times the target object crosses a line.

Intruders

It is possible to issue an alarm when a moving object enters a specified area.

Loitering

It is possible to issue an alarm when a moving object enters a specified area and stays there for a specified amount of time.

Direction

It is possible to issue an alarm when a moving object enters a specified area and moves in the specified direction.

Cross line

It is possible to issue an alarm when an object moving in the specified direction crosses a specified threshold.

Factory Scene: Original image shows a factory floor. Processed image shows privacy masking applied to faces and figures.

Retail Stores Scene: Original image shows people in a retail environment. Processed image shows privacy masking applied to faces and figures.

AI Sound Classification

AI detects and identifies (gunshot / yell / vehicle horn / glass break) sound. It then sends a warning notification according to the sound identified.

• [Gunshot sound]
• [Yell sound]
• [Vehicle horn sound]
• [Glass break sound]

Classification target

• 1. Gunshot
• 2. Yell
• 3. Vehicle horn
• 4. Glass break

Classification condition

• Target sound is 6 dB louder than crowd.
• Target sound continues more than a second (except for gunshot).

External microphone is required. Frequency characteristics: support 200 Hz to 8 kHz, Omnidirectional microphone.

AI Face Detection

The i-PRO network camera utilizing an AI engine and i-PRO Active Guard realize real-time face recognition without an expensive face recognition server. AI detection enables highly accurate face detection, and is also effective for detection in low lighting, backlit environments, or for detecting faces obscured by masks.

Image examples: Visuals show 'Super Dynamic: OFF', 'Super Dynamic: 144dB', and a person wearing a 'Surgical mask'.

AI People Detection

Characteristics of the human face and clothing are extracted and classified into useful categories such as gender, age, and clothing color. This abundant attribute information can then be searched to easily find the target person.

Visual examples: Images depict individuals with different attributes: 'Beard', 'Hat', 'Mask', 'Sunglass'.

AI Vehicle Detection

Vehicle characteristics are extracted and classified into useful categories such as type and color. This abundant attribute information can then be searched to easily find the target vehicle.

Vehicle Type

Truck, Bus, SUV, Van, Sedan, Pickup Truck, Two-Wheel

Vehicle Color

Black, Brown, White, Gray, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Purple, Pink

AI Occupancy Detection

It counts the number of people in a specified area and issues an alarm when the number exceeds a specified threshold. Information of the number of people in the area can be output externally via HTTP or MQTT.

Image Description: An example image shows people seated at a table in an indoor setting, with bounding boxes indicating detected individuals, illustrating detection processing.

AI Scene Change Detection

It can define/learn the normal scene for each camera and output an alarm when it is determined to be abnormal.

Scenarios:

• Left behind object: If the normal status is an empty area, the application will notify you when a stationary object is left behind.
• Door movement: If the normal status is a closed door, the application will notify you when the door is left open for a defined period of time.
• Parking vacancy: If the normal status for a spot is set to "occupied", the application will notify you when the spot is vacant.
• Out-of-stock product: If the normal status is set to "full shelf", the application will notify you when the shelf is empty or low, as defined.

Image Description: Visual examples illustrate each scenario: a package left behind, a door ajar, an empty parking spot, and a depleted shelf.

AI Processing Relay

It can be used when you want to add an AI function to an already installed camera. This software receives MJPEG data from other cameras, performs AI processing with AI Extension Software, and performs alarm reception and image search with i-PRO Active Guard.

Note: Original camera function on installed camera is not available.

Note: The camera must be able to output 1920x1080 or 1280x720 JPEG at 5fps. And you need to know JPEG Stream CGI and input it on "AI Processing Relay app".

Note: AI analytics performance depends on the image quality. Please check it with cameras you use on site.

Notes on Supported System: "ASM300 with i-PRO Active Guard" supports only i-PRO cameras. For "Genetec / Milestone with i-PRO Active Guard", AI-VMD / AI Occupancy Detection alarms are not supported because they do not go through i-PRO Active Guard. For "Video Insight with i-PRO Active Guard", AI Occupancy Detection alarms are not supported because they do not go through i-PRO Active Guard. Alarm will be supported from new version which is available on Sep, 2023.

AI-VMD/AI People Counting for 360-degree fisheye camera

AI Video Motion Detection

AI differentiates between vehicles and people, detecting and sending warning notifications when an intruder enters a specified area.

• Intruder detection: Issues an alarm when a moving object enters a specified area.
• Cross Line detection: Issues an alarm when an object moving in the specified direction crosses a specified threshold.
• Loitering detection: Issues an alarm when a moving object enters a specified area and stays there for a specified amount of time.

People Counting

• Cross Line Counting: Counts the number of people moving in a specified direction and cross a specified threshold.
• Area Counting (Queue Management): Counts the number of people in the set area.

Visuals: Images labeled 'Cross Line Counting' and 'Area Counting' show graphical representations of these counts.

Heat map

Heat mapping provides statistical information about traffic flow and keeps counts for people passing through and loitering in the area.

Visuals: Images labeled 'Passing' and 'Loitering' show heat map visualizations of movement patterns.

Occupancy detection

The network camera uses its AI engine to detect congestion, providing data that can be used to direct visitor traffic flow in advance or help staff work more efficiently.

AI Privacy Guard for 360-degree fisheye camera

AI Privacy Guard

AI can automatically mosaic faces and figures of people who are photographed to safeguard privacy and portrait rights.

Visuals: 'Original image' shows a 360-degree view of a room. 'Processed image' shows the same view with faces and figures mosaicked.

i-PRO Active Guard

The i-PRO Active Guard stores the best images and metadata captured by i-PRO network cameras, then collates this data with the watch list registered in the client software and issues an alarm when a match is found. The server does not require expensive hardware because i-PRO network cameras handle the advanced processing. The server can even be installed on the same hardware as the VMS. The system comprises the i-PRO Active Guard, the AI application installed on i-PRO network cameras utilizing AI engines, and i-PRO Active Guard Plug-in software for the VMS client.

Example of a basic system connection for Video Insight | Genetec | Milestone

Description: A camera with an AI engine sends video stream to a VMS Server (Video Insight, Genetec, or Milestone). The VMS server sends video stream and alarm notification to the i-PRO Active Guard Plug-in. The i-PRO Active Guard stores best shot images and metadata from the camera app, matches them to a watch list, and issues an alarm. Statistics data is also generated.

To use the system for Milestone, i-PRO Active Guard Plug-in for XProtect developed by ORBNET SYSTEM LTD is required. Link: https://www.milestonesys.com/marketplace/i-pro--co.-ltd/

Example of a basic system connection for WV-ASM300W/Network disk recorder

Description: A camera with an AI engine sends video stream to a Network Disk Recorder (WV-ASM300W). The recorder provides live video playback. An AI application (e.g., AI Face Detection, AI People Detection, AI Vehicle Detection, AI-VMD/AI People Counting, AI-VMD) sends best shot image and metadata to the i-PRO Active Guard Plug-in for WV-ASM300W. The i-PRO Active Guard then stores this data, matches it to a watch list, and generates alarms. Users can perform searches, register watchlists, and view a web browser dashboard.

Note: In case the number of cameras is up to 4CH, i-PRO Active Guard can be installed into the PC that WV-ASM300W is installed with limited function (Store Best shot image and meta data, Matching to watch-list and generate alarm).
