Held in Shanghai on April 22 to 25, 2019 allied partners convention ali cloud released intelligent video monitoring system for the first time, at the same time to join meeting thousands of partners and the industry demonstrates a minute cloud on video monitoring system, this paper expounds the ali cloud intelligent video monitoring platform power of traditional monitoring on the advantages and methods of cloud.
In the field of video surveillance, Cloud and AI are the trends of the future. Aliyun intelligent video surveillance solution seamlessly integrates video surveillance products and intelligent vision products. The platform provides unified and open video streaming access, processing and distribution services for surveillance devices, relying on edge ACCESS nodes (A-Nodes) around the world and outstanding video technology. The traditional local surveillance video content can be connected to the cloud for storage, recording and review, and distribution throughout the network. Meanwhile, through intelligent vision products, the self-training visual AI model can be realized in five minutes at the fastest, and the mature industrial AI algorithms of Ali and external can be used to quickly build industry-level intelligent monitoring solutions.
Aliyun intelligent video surveillance platform supports one-stop integration of camera video stream access, storage, processing, distribution and management. It connects with services quickly through OpenAPI, and integrates intelligent video surveillance industry solutions within one week at the earliest. In the video access link, RTMP, GB/T28181 standard protocol cameras, smart devices, video surveillance platform access and management; In the media processing segment, relying on the profound media processing technology precipitation of Aliyun video service, it supports screenshots, recording, transcoding, mixed streaming and other processing, as well as real-time and historical streaming on demand, video and structured data synchronization and other playback forms. In the video distribution link, based on Aliyun cloud high reliable persistent storage and life cycle management, it supports recording fast replay, video management and high-quality distribution of content in the whole network based on 2500+CDN nodes.
Advantages of intelligent video surveillance platform
First, large-scale concurrency, safe and efficient
Cloud-based highly reliable cluster architecture, avoiding single points of failure, supports cloud access, storage, and distribution of millions of devices.
2. On-demand use and flexible capacity expansion
Elastic expansion of network, computing, and storage. The service provider only needs to pay attention to the camera, and the cloud provides flexible scheduling to improve resource utilization.
3. Visual AI is easy to use
The whole process interface operation, 0 algorithm based self-help training model, can use ali’s internal and external mature industry visual AI model
4. AI training is cost-effective and efficient
Using transfer learning technology, only a small number of training samples can customize domain-specific models, large-scale distributed training, and greatly improve the efficiency and convenience of data ETL.
Five, light assets, flexible start fast
The device side does not need to integrate SDK, RTMP or GB/T28181 protocol to directly access the cloud, fast startup and low cost.
Six, multi-scene support, fast technology evolution
Support public cloud (central cloud/edge cloud) and private cloud, open video intelligence, and cover multiple application scenarios.
Several application scenarios of intelligent video surveillance
I. Pan-social monitoring on the cloud — to create a safe, intelligent and beautiful living environment
Dynamic video data collected by massive cameras in schools, communities and business circles need information means to improve efficiency. A safe, convenient and efficient unified resource management platform is very necessary. Ali Cloud intelligent video monitoring supports convenient access to social video monitoring resources such as social meeting, transportation and community, unify the video management platform, form a large network of social resource monitoring, and realize “full availability and network sharing”. Flexible and extensible computing resources, flexible docking of various video algorithm platforms as needed, promoting vertical and diverse video intelligent analysis and application implementation. For example, in the scenario of school or kindergarten, the school authorities and parents can know the situation of students at school anytime and anywhere in real time through the video monitoring network platform, so that the campus is safe and parents feel at ease.
In the smart construction site scenario, visual AI can identify fireworks, inspectors wearing helmets, and detect intruders in the area, ensuring safe production.
In the catering industry, through the “bright kitchen kitchen kitchen” project, the regulatory authorities and consumers can understand the restaurant kitchen food hygiene status in real time, so that practitioners self-discipline, let consumers rest assured.
Ii. Smart new retail – Digitized video information to accumulate industry wisdom and empower data
Monitor market embraced and artificial intelligence is the trend of The Times, through intelligent video analysis, big data technology is applied to implement the new retail stores abortion statistics, hot identification, product identification, support and on-demand playback of the monitoring content, to be obtained to realize remote tour store, reduce labor costs, and provide more accurate data for management reference. The digital collection and application of video information can reduce costs and increase efficiency for business operation, accumulate industry wisdom data and realize data empowerment.
Third, the city brain – “full convergence, full recognition”, data to make the city more efficient and energy saving
There are a large number of cameras and video data in the urban traffic network. How to quickly gather and intelligently identify massive data, build an intelligent transportation system and improve the travel efficiency of urban traffic? Ali Cloud intelligent video surveillance platform can be used as the technical base of “city brain”. It adopts hierarchical architecture to realize full aggregation and full recognition of video surveillance sources through perception nodes, and carry out unified management and application of multi-dimensional big data such as video data, IOT data and social encounter data in the central node. The big data engine can automatically optimize traffic signals and guide traffic reasonably by integrating comprehensive, full and real-time video information, so as to reduce congestion rate and make travel more efficient and energy saving.
Video intelligent surveillance provides complete solutions for video surveillance system integrators, application system providers and intelligent camera manufacturers. It can play a role in many scenarios such as bright kitchen, smart construction site, safe campus and smart retail. At present, Ali Cloud is recruiting ecological partners in the field of monitoring for the industry. We welcome industrial applications, AI algorithms and other partners to join us to jointly promote the cloud, intelligent and platform development of monitoring industry.
