SAN MATEO, Calif., July 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chooch AI, the leading computer vision AI platform, has been cited for accelerating adoption of computer vision–powered solutions across industry verticals by leading research company IDC. Chooch AI models are ready to deploy now both in the cloud and on edge devices. Clients include Fortune 500 companies and the US Government. Partners include NVIDIA, Intel, Dell, Deloitte, Convergint and Vantiq. IDC states that, "Chooch AI's horizontal- and vertical-agnostic platform supports rapid data set generation capabilities using machine labeling techniques such as smart annotation, data augmentation, and use of synthetic data, along with pretrained ready-to-use models. They believe this will accelerate adoption and time to value computer vision–powered solutions across industry verticals."

Making Visual Data Consumable Global data has grown from 4.4 zettabytes to 44 zettabytes between 2013 and 2020, and by 2025, IDC predicts there will be 163 zettabytes of data. Visual data has added much of this exponential increase in data volume. During the big data era, intelligent video analytics finally has achieved true intelligence in the form of artificial intelligence on the edge. Since the 1990's, engineers, CEOs, corporate and educational entities created and consumed data, more data and better data. The key to better consumption of big data was considered to be tied to better organized data.

Chooch AI has released a new computer vision service that allows users to detect and categorize events in any kind of local video stream. Dubbed Chooch Edge AI, the technology was unveiled at this week's TechCrunch Disrupt startup event in San Francisco and leverages Chooch AI's object recognition capabilities. "Our clients requested a fast, easy to install, complete embedded AI solution many times over," said Chooch AI CEO Emrah Gultekin. "There are locations where connectivity is an issue, and now we can offer detailed inferencing on the edge, with less stress on the overall network." To that end, Chooch Edge AI can be installed on any camera device that meets the minimum hardware requirements, which include Linux, 1GB RAM, and an ARM 32, ARM 64, or Intel x86-64 chip.

When a person gains access to a secure building, sensitive data, or vast sums of corporate finance via facial authentication, how do you know they are who they say they are - for sure? Masks from The Real Face Japan. Yes, Chooch AI has a neural network model and learns the 512 biometric features of every face it is trained to learn. Yes, when an image of a face is sent via API to Chooch AI, we have a higher than 99% accuracy in facial authentication. We know whether that face has been learned by Chooch or not, but what happens if the person trying to gain access has a very, very good mask?

IC2 is the free amazing demo app for Chooch AI, which uses artificial intelligence to tag objects in live video and still images. Chooch is used for real time facial recognition and object recognition applications in the media, advertising, banking, medical and security industries. Chooch AI is a complete turnkey visual AI solution, which includes an API, a dashboard and mobile SDK. Combining computer vision training with machine learning, the platform offers autonomous labeling, data collection, multiple model creation and more.
