We are delighted to be announced as the Technology Leader in Artificial Intelligence in Australia by the APAC Insider magazine. They make their selections based on analyses and research focused on merit rather than on a public vote which can be manipulated.

Simultaneously CIO Adviser magazine has listed iOmniscient amongst the 25 Hottest AI companies in Asia Pacific and the only one on their list focused on Computer Vision.

We cherish both their accolades.

iOmniscient has been pioneering its own flavor of Artificial Intelligence since 2001, long before the term was popularized and fashionable.

Today there is a lot of focus on Neural Networks and Deep Learning technologies. These are very useful but also have significant shortfalls in terms adaptability such as “lengthy learning times” and the amount of training data & computing resources required. iOmniscient developed its own hybrid methodologies combining Heuristic and Active Learning technologies that significantly reduce all of the above (from months down to seconds).

More importantly it significantly reduces computing requirements. For instance, it can perform Face Recognition on low resolution cameras at long distances with a higher accuracy than any other organization today without the use of expensive GPUs. Where other organizations may require multiple $4000 GPU cards and high resolution cameras, the iOmniscient system can generate more accurate results at a fraction of their cost with off the shelf hardware.

The company does not troll Universities to find AI experts. Bala Rajendran, who manages iOmniscient’s three development centers around the world said, “We like to grow our own AI specialists because our methodologies involve a very different way of thinking which is practical and cost effective making deployment very affordable. Our people often have to forget the traditional way of doing things that they learnt at University when they were doing their PhDs. Our way of doing things are often counter-intuitive and that is what has enabled us to maintain our leading position in a field that is now dominated by some big players”.

Data Privacy Act creates challenges for the Surveillance Industry and iOmniscient provides a solution.

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) has created a harmonised data protection law framework across the EU ensuring privacy for individuals.

But consider a traditional CCTV based surveillance system. There are millions of cameras in shopping malls, railway stations, airports, banks and in just about every corner of our cities. The video from all these cameras are visible to the operators in their control rooms and these videos are recorded. The information is available to anyone who wishes to do a forensic analysis on them. Your privacy has already been breached by all these systems.

iOmniscient’s intelligent GDPR ready Video Management System (iQ-VMS) solves this problem. All faces in every video stream can be redacted so that no one in any control room can see anyone’s face. The stored video is also redacted.

So what is the use of a surveillance system where you cannot see anything. While all the faces are redacted the system itself can continue to analyse what is happening. If someone falls down, the nearest responder can be alerted to help. If a fire starts, the fire brigade can be called. Though faces are anonymized the system can know how long an average person spends in different parts of a store. But while the system can provide this intelligence to help citizens their privacy is totally protected.

But what if there is a murder in the middle of a shopping mall or what if a child is lost? The iOmniscient redaction is reversible. In an emergency authorized personnel can have a special key to selectively reverse the redaction in the interests of public safety and security

Which are the best cameras for Video Analytics.

Customers often ask us what cameras they should use. This is critical for them as often they choose and install the cameras first only to discover later that though the cameras may be expensive and of very high quality they are unsuitable for the analytics that need to be implemented. We have developed a white paper to help them choose wisely. Please contact us for a copy of this white paper.
