Qualcomm Using AI to Turn IoT Cameras into Videographers — ADTmag
Bad guys beware. Security cameras are about to get a whole lot sharper thanks to Qualcomm Vision Intelligence Platform using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
The days are numbered for the low-resolution, black-and-white security camera videos of bank robbers that often accompany TV news reports. You know the ones where you look at a shaky shadowy evildoer and say: “That could be anyone.” So you laugh when the news anchor intones: “If you recognize this person, call the police at the number on your screen.”
With cutting edge AI, the security footage will make it look like a videographer was on hand as the guy held up the neighborhood convenience store. Beyond crime fighting, the technology can be used for “sports cameras, wearable cameras, virtual reality (VR) 360 and 180 cameras, robotics, smart displays, and more,” Qualcomm noted in its announcement. Applications of this AI technology may include mountain bikers and skiers making cinematic videos of their rides and runs. With the virtual reality capability, friends could join in the fun without leaving their living rooms.
