Many industries are employing video analytics to extract actionable information for a wide variety of use cases, such as:
- Gate Access Control: allow entry at checkpoints based on facial recognition, facility entrance control, transportation ticket validation (e.g., bus, subway, and plane)
- Video Surveillance: monitor infrastructure to recognize threats – commercial buildings and smart cities
- Navigation: identify optimal travel paths and detect obstructions, in autonomous vehicles and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)
- Anomaly Detection: recognize deviations from expected patterns – detect manufacturing defects, or debris on airport runways
Using currently available high end industrial Fanless PC’s, these applications benefit from significant gains in efficiency. These and future models are expected to drive up the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to 29% in the video analytics market in the next 5 years.
A facial recognition gate at a factory entrance must quickly and precisely identify those permitted to enter to avoid long queues and unauthorized admittance. To satisfy this, systems integrators are implementing edge video analysis (EVA) solutions on-site, where the data is generated, instead of off-site in a data center or the cloud. EVA minimizes latency and does not need a persistent network connection, making it suitable for both mobile and stationary deployments. EVA also alleviates privacy and security concerns over confidential data.
Facial recognition gate solutions should be small and fanless, capable of dissipating the heat generated by compute-intensive video analysis applications. To deliver timely and accurate results, AI-based video analytics requires diverse computing power that can be satisfied by platforms with diverse computing cores called heterogeneous computing. Optimized for AI-based EVA solutions, the ADLINK MVP-5100-MXM series is a heterogeneous computing platform that integrates powerful CPUs and GPUs:
• CPU: 9th generation Intel® with Core™ processors
• GPU: NVIDIA® Quadro® P5000
