Hikvision's three major areas of artificial intelligence products

At present, the company's main products in artificial intelligence applications are laid out in three areas: safe living, industrial manufacturing and automotive intelligence.

Security field: "squat", "Facebook", "God catch" series

In 2015, Hikvision took the lead in deploying artificial intelligence from the back-end products and launched a back-end product based on deep learning technology - "Falcon" and "Blade" intelligent server. This series of products has been in Nanchang "Tianwang Project Phase II" ", Wujin intelligent transportation and other major projects play an important role.

Since then, with the advancement of artificial intelligence technology, Hikvision began to layout to the front end. In November last year, Hikvision launched a full range of intelligent security products based on deep learning technology: covering the "squat" series of smart cameras, "Shenzhen" series of intelligent transportation products, "super brain" series of intelligent NVR, "Facebook" Series face analysis server and more.

The "Shenzhen" series is composed of intelligent cameras, which consist of a series of different products, such as guns, barrels, domes, binoculars, multi-eyes, and eagle eyes. It relies on a powerful multi-engine hardware platform and embedded Deep learning algorithm designed and optimized for video surveillance scenarios. Based on deep learning technology, it can support face recognition, human behavior analysis, human body attribute analysis, face dynamic contrast and other intelligent detection, with more accurate security big data induction ability than the human brain. It can realize multi-feature information extraction and event detection of people, vehicles and objects in various complex environments, which can fully meet the application requirements of multi-scenario and multi-industry.

Smart parking: smart parking robot

In 2016, Hikvision launched a smart parking robot. The intelligent parking robot adopts the visual & inertial dual navigation technology developed by the company to achieve autonomous positioning, and its positioning error can be reduced to less than 5mm. The robot can complete the lifting, handling, rotation and decentralization of the 2000kg car. The owner only needs to click the code through the app of the smart parking lot. The intelligent center system will automatically plan the parking position and the optimal path for the parking robot, and arrange the parking. The robot exits and parks the vehicle, and the entire parking process can be completed in 2 minutes in a 2000 square meter parking lot.

The intelligent parking robot landed at the Wuzhen World Internet Conference on November 16, 2016, becoming the world's first robotic smart parking application case. The intelligent parking robot can dispatch 500 vehicles at the same time, increasing the number of parking spaces in the same area of ​​the parking lot by 20% to 40%. In the intelligent parking lot of Wuxing Internet of Things Street, the intelligent parking system has increased the previous 64 parking spaces to 89.

Although the cost of intelligent hardware is high, there is no specific profit model and promotion strategy for the current intelligent parking system. However, the development of this system is undoubtedly an important part of the company's artificial intelligence field, and the future will help the company's artificial intelligence strategy.

Intelligent robot: "阡陌" intelligent storage robot

Based on its deep accumulation in the fields of hardware, embedded, ISP and pattern recognition, the company has been working in the field of machine vision in recent years, focusing on the direction of drones and intelligent robot systems.

In 2015, the company launched the “阡陌” intelligent robot, which is part of the company's smart storage system. The system consists of three core modules: robot (AGV), robot scheduling system (RCS) and intelligent warehouse management system (iWMS). It uses multiple scheduling algorithms to realize intelligent operation and maintenance. It can coordinate multi-robot clustering and analyze data through intelligence. Achieve multi-robot path planning and robot traffic management, and improve the level of large-scale warehouse automation, information and intelligence. By systematically monitoring the operating state of the robot through the system, the robot can perform autonomous charging and improve management efficiency.

The system realizes the effect of robot self-perception and self-determination. The robot has high positioning accuracy (millimeter level), can be fully connected with enterprise ERP, and has flexible deployment, which can effectively reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve production efficiency and quality.

Although compared with Amazon's KIVA, the former's popularity and influence have accumulated, but the design of “阡陌” is more in line with the characteristics of China's local warehousing industry. The “阡陌” robot has been put into use in Haikang’s own security industry base and Haiyi Technology, a cross-border warehousing supply chain service provider of NetEase Koala. In the traditional warehouse, more than 60% of the staff spends time on picking up the goods, and the “阡陌” robot realizes multiple robots working together to complete the tasks of intelligent warehousing, greatly improving work efficiency and solving the pain points of the warehousing and logistics industry.
