Inference Capability

Model deployment and inference are packaged as capabilities for the intelligent-computing layer, with inference delivered as a platform and a service.

Deep learning flowchart of the training stage and the inference stage
Model deployment: model extraction, model compression, and model acceleration.
Model as a service: the model is deployed at the edge and integrated with the intelligent-computing application layer. The user sends image and video-stream requests from the intelligent-computing application layer; the model layer runs inference and returns the result.
Each video stream can run 3 to 5 models, and different video streams can be assigned different algorithms. 18T (INT8) compute supports 32 video streams.

Pretrained algorithm models

Multiple AI algorithms, with customization for the application scenario.

People Crowd gathering detection, illegal intrusion detection, person climbing, absence-from-post detection, monitoring-room absence detection, elevator entrapment detection, entry and exit detection, sleeping-on-duty recognition, smoking recognition, and other behavior analysis.
Vehicles Muck truck recognition, e-bike entering an elevator recognition, vehicle wrong-way recognition, non-motor vehicle illegal parking detection, vehicle illegal parking recognition, jaywalking recognition, heavy machinery recognition, pedestrian and vehicle separation recognition.
