Fall Detection

Fall detection is an AI video analytics capability that automatically identifies when a person has fallen to the ground and triggers an alert — typically within seconds of the event. It combines pose estimation, temporal analysis, and scene context to distinguish actual falls from crouching, bending, or lying down intentionally.

Container Code Recognition

Container code recognition (UIC / BIC recognition) is an AI capability that automatically reads the unique identifier codes stenciled on shipping containers and rail wagons — converting painted characters into searchable text without manual inspection.

CCTV

CCTV — closed-circuit television — is the traditional term for video surveillance systems where camera feeds are transmitted to a limited set of monitors or recorders rather than publicly broadcast. Modern CCTV has evolved from analog coax-cable systems into fully networked IP deployments, and today sits at the intersection of security, operations analytics, and AI.

Age and Gender Detection

Age and gender detection is a computer vision capability that estimates the age range and gender of people in a video frame — without identifying them by name. It provides demographic analytics for retail, transit, advertising, and city planning while remaining privacy-friendlier than face recognition.

Pose Estimation

Pose estimation is the computer vision task of detecting the positions of key human body joints — head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles — in an image or video frame, producing a skeletal representation of each person in the scene.

Motion Detection

Motion detection is the process of identifying changes between consecutive video frames that indicate something is moving in the scene. It is the oldest form of video analytics, dating back to early CCTV, and remains a foundational trigger for more sophisticated AI-based analytics.

Machine Learning

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence where software learns patterns from data instead of being explicitly programmed with rules. In video analytics, it is the technique that lets a system recognize a face, read a license plate, or detect smoke without a developer coding every case.

False Positive in AI

A false positive in AI is a prediction where the model says "yes, this is the event" but the event didn't actually occur — for example, flagging smoke when it's really steam, detecting a weapon when it's an umbrella, or matching a face to the wrong person. Managing false positives is one of the most important practical challenges in video analytics.

Facial Detection

Facial detection is the computer vision task of finding the location of every human face in an image or video frame — typically represented as a bounding box. It is the first step in every face recognition, age estimation, or facial analysis pipeline.
