The IoT Needs a New Set of Eyes
The rise of computer vision has given us robot chefs and cameras that detect gas flares in fuel production. It’s also led to an increase in connected cameras that are trying to run at the edge of the network.
“Running at the edge” means these cameras are not only communicating wirelessly with the cloud but also communicating with local gateways and working with built-in logic boards to complete a task. The task might be as simple as notifying a manufacturer when a production line produces a defective item or as complex as identifying a person to determine if the system should sound an alarm.
