The Untapped Potential of Video Analytics

You've probably seen this scenario play out on a police procedural show on television: A crime has been committed and officers are tasked with looking through security footage to see if any of it was caught on camera. On TV, they can cut away to commercial and have the answer back as soon as they return. In real life, however, analyzing huge quantities of video data is a task that's rarely accomplished effectively by human operators. There's just too much data to sift through, and the cost for the man hours required is too high. But that problem is being overcome with machine learning and video analytics.
