MV Cameras - Training camera for AI ?

Martin-cantwell — Sat, 17 Jun 2023 06:52:59 GMT

I am looking to get into some basic recognition stuff with MV's, I would like to set up in our office where staff could be greeted after walking though the front door.

Any pointers?

Hi Martin, I'd have a look at the Meraki App Marketplace, there's a section for computer vision Cisco Meraki Marketplace | Cisco Meraki, and I've heard about some projects in a Meraki podcast. Otherwise maybe Webhooks - Cisco Meraki

I am also having this problem. I have moved to testing third party options that work with meraki cameras. The cameras are intelligent enough and you can use zones to count people and cars, and that is it. The built in AI isn't capable of things such as counting pallets on a trailer as they enter or leave a yard. It can count the truck if they all drive through the zone, but not the objects on the truck.

This would be the place to start with this:

Then look into Cogniac for developing a custom model for your use case.

I created this a while ago using the V0 API, so it may need some work. Not sure.

This will allow you to grab snaphots as an object is recognised as a person. It can also feed the images into Amazon AWS Rekognition - and you would be better to use that for your AI recognition of individual people.

One big gotcha for your plan - it can take several minutes between when a camera sees a person to you getting some results you can action.
