Why is deep learning gaining momentum in security? - asmag.com

Deep learning video analysis has increasingly become a trend in security. With hardware advances and an overwhelming amount of data, their future growth potential is not to be ignored. That was one of the main points discussed by Memoori in its recent blog post titled "Will AI Video Analytics Finally Add'Real Intelligence' to Video Surveillance?." Needless to say, artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning have garnered the attention of security vendors and users alike. The technology learns different objects, behavior or character traits and can detect abnormalities and irregularities with more precision and accuracy than video content analysis technologies employed in the past. "Video analytics has eaten a few free lunches over the last 15 years. Whilst it has certainly added some value to video installations, there has been much debate about exactly'how intelligent' the technology really is and whether it provides satisfactory ROI. But in 2018, there is now a growing belief that video analytics could finally move beyond what has been achieved through conventional rule-based systems," the post said.
