Face recognition technology has been evolving and aiding the development of intelligent surveillance systems. These systems allow organizations to monitor a group of individuals or people for security purposes and have enhanced security for different purposes, including number locks, pattern locks, and fingerprint sensors.

Importance of Drones and UAVs in the Current Pandemic Situation

Introduction

Drones, also known as UAVs, are unmanned aircraft with no on-board crew or passengers in them. They are pilotless vehicles that can either be remotely controlled or are pre-programmed for a specific mission (initially used for military purposes). Unmanned aircrafts systems predominantly include the unmanned aerial vehicle, a remote controller, and a system of communications between them. Drones and UAVs were initially designed to fly for a long time at a controlled level of speed and height. 

Now, they come in various sizes and serve a multitude of purposes. Some Drones and UAVs are autonomous, while some are remote-controlled. Some are short flight drones while some are large, and can operate for a couple of hours. They are designed for low flying or are capable of scaling greater heights.

AI That Can Warn People of Approaching Tow Trucks

Two years ago, our  team started developing and training a neural network for recognizing cars in parking lots. During this time, we have collected a dataset of more than 26 thousand images, connected 376 cameras to the car recognition service, 122 parking lots, of which only 5400 parking spaces. We have developed a mobile application displaying free and occupied parking spaces, and also created an SpotVision API that anyone can use to solve business problems.

 

Innovative IoT Hardware and the Fight for Privacy

You've probably heard the comment that if you want your privacy, then stay away from IoT. It's easy to suggest not using such products at all. But what if they provide great convenience and you really like them? 

In exchange for that convenience, tech companies expect us to sacrifice our privacy. They expect us to invite always-on microphones into our living rooms, our kitchens, and even our bedrooms. They store our recordings indefinitely, hire human subcontractors to listen in, and sell our data to third parties. That’s a deal we’re not willing to take. We love our smart speakers, but we demand control over when they’re listening and what they hear. In short, we want both convenience and privacy.
