Users can benefit from an enhanced    surveillance system with only a small amount of configuration    and no need for programming.  <\/p>\n<p>    The solution supports a range of video management systems    including Milestone XProtect VMS and Luxriot Evo, Evo S and Evo    Global.  <\/p>\n<p>    SentiVeillance Server can process in real time up to 10 video    streams from multiple video management systems.  <\/p>\n<p>    The solution is equipped with Neurotechnologys latest deep    neural-network-based facial detection and recognition algorithm    which greatly improves identification accuracy and speed.  <\/p>\n<p>    The technology is included in other Neurotechnology products    including the VeriLook and MegaMatcher software development    kits (SDK), which have millions of deployments worldwide.  <\/p>\n<p>    In addition, the SentiVeillance SDK allows developers to create    solutions using facial identification and object recognition    from surveillance video.  <\/p>\n<p>    In a separate announcement, Neurotechnology revealed that the    companys deep neural network researchers won first place in a    Kaggle competition that sought AI solutions for fisheries    monitoring.  <\/p>\n<p>    For their winning solution in The Nature Conservancy Fisheries    Monitoring competition, the team of researchers won a first    place prize of $50,000.  <\/p>\n<p>    The team beat out the competing 2,292 submitted algorithms for    the identification of fish and other marine species from video    streams. The algorithms were evaluated based on an unseen test    set that mimicked a real-life scenario.  <\/p>\n<p>    Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing practices are    degrading marine ecosystems, global seafood supplies and local    livelihoods, according to The Nature Conservancy.  <\/p>\n<p>    The Neurotechnology employees, which entered the competition    independently under the name Towards Robust-Optimal Learning    of Learning, used advanced deep neural networks to solve this    issue.  <\/p>\n<p>    The Fisheries Monitoring competition was one of the biggest    competitions for Kaggle, a learning, sharing and development    site for data, code, research and process.  <\/p>\n<p>    This was one of the first Kaggle competitions that was    comprised of two stages, which means that models developed    during the first stage were frozen and evaluated on unseen data    that was made available during the second stage, said    Gediminas Peksys from the Towards Robust Optimal Learning of    Learning team. In such a setting, it is very easy for a teams    models to overfit the data by using too many trainable    parameters. We were able to utilize our teams experience using    deep neural networks to come up with a robust model that    performed a lot closer to the original estimate from stage one    and generalized in a predictable manner on unseen data.  <\/p>\n<p>        Previously reported, Neurotechnology added a new Extreme    edition to its MegaMatcher Accelerator line of multi-biometric    identification solutions for national-scale projects.  <\/p>\n<p>    comments  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Follow this link: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.biometricupdate.com\/201706\/neurotechnology-adds-face-recognition-tracking-to-video-surveillance-researchers-win-competition\" title=\"Neurotechnology adds face recognition, tracking to video surveillance systems; researchers win competition - Biometric Update\">Neurotechnology adds face recognition, tracking to video surveillance systems; researchers win competition - Biometric Update<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> June 19, 2017- Neurotechnology has released SentiVeillance Server, a ready-to-use solution that integrates with surveillance video management systems (VMS).
