Research overview
Intelligent cameras such as video doorbells and CCTV are abundant today, yet only used for a single-purpose, privacy-invasive and bandwidth-heavy streaming.
Nokia Bell Labs has developed a software solution that transforms intelligent cameras with automated machine learning operations (MLOps), enabling them to provide a range of services, including traffic flow, pedestrian analysis, asset tracking, or even facial recognition. With robust security controls and privacy-preserving query serving, the data is kept safe and anonymized.
By running multiple machine learning (ML) models that can be updated over the air, these cameras become agile, multi-functional, and upgradable devices as new algorithms enable different capabilities to be added on demand.
