Image Analytics - Extracting Insights from Images

Image analytics analyzes and extracts useful information from images using technologies such as image classification and object detection. Some example use cases are:
⚫︎ E-Commerce: product image verification, product image search.
⚫︎ Manufacturing: assembly line defective product detection.
⚫︎ Healthcare: cancer detection from X-ray images.
⚫︎ Security: identity checks with facial recognition, vehicle profiling with license plate detection.
⚫︎ Satellite/aerial imagery: land use analysis, environmental damage detection.
⚫︎ Document processing: hardcopy digitization, PDF file text extraction, document layout analysis.

Success Stories

E-Commerce Product Image Verification

A stakeholder in the fashion e-commerce sector was experiencing problems with sellers displaying photographs which were completely different from the product descriptions on the product page, degrading the overall user experience and trust of the website.As a result the stakeholder wanted to automatically detect and remove such problematic product pages instead of doing it manually.A PoC was performed to demonstrate the application of both computer vision and natural language technologies to automatically verify if the product photographs matched the text descriptions, and to automatically flag problematic product pages.As a result of the PoC, the stakeholder was able to work on a scalable product page verifier to automatically detect and flag problem product pages for deletion, thereby restoring overall user experience and trust.

Video Analytics - Extracting Insights from Videos

Video analytics extracts meaningful and actionable insights from videos using technologies such as object detection and tracking. Some example use cases are:
⚫︎ Surveillance: intruder detection, anomalous behaviour detection, crowd monitoring.
⚫︎ Retail: customer behaviour analysis, retail shop heat mapping.
⚫︎ Traffic Management: Vehicle flow analysis, pedestrian flow analysis, accident detection.

Success Stories

Employee Monitoring from CCTV Footage

A large automobile manufacturer stakeholder was experiencing workplace safety and compliance violations by employees, leading to an increased risk of workplace accidents.The stakeholder wanted to strengthen their non-compliant behaviour detection in order to enable their managers to better monitor their subordinates with the goal of minimize the risk workplace accidents.A series of PoCs were conducted using computer vision to automatically monitor employees from CCTV footage - for example, detecting if employees were wearing personal protective equipment, if employees were behaving according to workplace safety regulations, or monitoring the movement of personnel in security areas.As a result of the series of PoCs, the client was able to move forward with developing a strategy for strengthening their workplace compliance monitoring.
