Ancilia: Scalable Intelligent Video Surveillance for the Artificial Intelligence of Things
This addresses the need for accurate and equitable security in surveillance for communities, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing AI and IoT technologies.
The paper tackles the problem of real-time intelligent video surveillance by presenting Ancilia, an end-to-end scalable system for the Artificial Intelligence of Things, which achieves high-level cognitive tasks in real-time while addressing ethical concerns.
With the advancement of vision-based artificial intelligence, the proliferation of the Internet of Things connected cameras, and the increasing societal need for rapid and equitable security, the demand for accurate real-time intelligent surveillance has never been higher. This article presents Ancilia, an end-to-end scalable, intelligent video surveillance system for the Artificial Intelligence of Things. Ancilia brings state-of-the-art artificial intelligence to real-world surveillance applications while respecting ethical concerns and performing high-level cognitive tasks in real-time. Ancilia aims to revolutionize the surveillance landscape, to bring more effective, intelligent, and equitable security to the field, resulting in safer and more secure communities without requiring people to compromise their right to privacy.
