Fujitsu Begins
Sales of City Monitoring and Parking Management Solutions that Employ AI
Technology
Grasps increasingly complex, real-time urban conditions with AI,
supercomputer technology
TOKYO, Oct 3, 2016 – (JCN Newswire) – Fujitsu today announced
development of solutions that make use of images from surveillance cameras
deployed throughout a city or inside a facility, using high-speed image
processing technology cultivated with its Human Centric AI Zinrai artificial
intelligence and supercomputer technologies. FUJITSU Technical Computing
Solution GREENAGES Citywide Surveillance software, which enables a real-time
understanding of urban conditions, and FUJITSU Technical Computing Solution
GREENAGES Parking Analysis software for intelligent parking management, will be
available for sale in Japan from today.
Using image analysis that employs advanced AI
technology, Citywide Surveillance automatically extracts a variety of data from
surveillance camera images, such as the type or make of vehicles, or the type
of clothing someone is wearing, giving users a real-time understanding of
movements throughout an urban environment. For customers with monitoring needs
beyond vehicles or people, Fujitsu’s AI experts will provide AI learning
services with expanded image analysis capabilities, built on highly accurate
recognition models.
Parking Analysis supports improved management
efficiency of parking lots or garages by ascertaining which parking spots are
open or monitoring no-parking zones in real time.
By watching out for entire cities, Fujitsu seeks
to create a human-centric intelligent society, where people can live with
greater prosperity and security.
Background
With the rapid rise of urban populations and the
increasing complexity of economic activity resulting from the greater movement
of people and things, protecting people from crime, natural disasters, and
accidents, and creating urban environments where they can live with peace of
mind, are becoming urgent social issues around the world. To address such
issues, the use of surveillance cameras is spreading, but to grasp conditions
over the wide area of an entire city, several thousand cameras may be required,
and there is a limit to what can be ascertained just using visual observations
by people.
In 2015, Fujitsu conducted a field trial of the
new Parking Analysis solution in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where it was
utilized with monitoring cameras positioned around outdoor and basement parking
lots, and other areas, to verify the accuracy of its grasp of parking
conditions, number cars, and other information. In both the Parking Analysis
and Citywide Surveillance solutions, Fujitsu employs Zinrai’s cutting-edge AI
image analysis technology developed by Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. and Fujitsu
Research and Development Center Co., Ltd. in China. This technology makes it
possible to grasp the movement of people and vehicles throughout a city,
thereby helping to prevent crime and optimize urban lifestyles.
Features of the Solutions
Citywide Surveillance
1. Overview
Using sophisticated AI technology in which a
recognition model is built based on learning from large volumes of imaging
data, and with image recognition using deep learning based on that model, Citywide
Surveillance can ascertain such characteristics as the make of a vehicle or the
type of clothing someone is wearing. Using distributed, high-speed image
processing technology that Fujitsu refined with supercomputers, this data can
be extracted from surveillance camera images in real time with high precision,
enabling users to grasp the movements of vehicles or people throughout a city.
This solution can be widely used in facilities, such as airports, train
stations, major roads, industrial parks, shopping malls, and parking garages,
or in public spaces, such as in urban areas, to grasp overall conditions,
prevent crime, or for other applications.
2. Major features
– Vehicle identification: Ascertains the type,
color, make, and model of vehicles.
– License plate identification: Reads the license
plate numbers of vehicles.
– Human identification: Ascertains color and
clothing type worn on the upper and lower body.
– Counting vehicles or people: Counts vehicles by
type or people, recording the time of detection.
– Facial recognition: Automatically tracks and
searches a person’s face, and detects faces that have been registered in
advance.

faces
3. AI Learning Service (option)
In the Citywide Surveillance solution, aside from
the built-in image recognition model for vehicles and people, if customers want
to add their own customized recognition targets, Fujitsu’s AI experts will
build a sophisticated recognition model for which functions can be flexibly
expanded.
Parking Analysis
1. Overview
With Parking Analysis, the status of up to 100
parking spots per surveillance camera can be ascertained in real time. In
addition, for cases where wide-area monitoring cannot be performed, such as an
indoor parking garage, images can be used to count vehicles as they enter and
exit, and the number of open spots in each zone can be calculated.
As a result, customers who operate parking lots
can use this service for a variety of objectives, including for such improved
services as enabling smartphones to determine availability of open parking
spaces, enhanced security by monitoring no-parking zones or cars that are
parked for long periods of time, and smarter marketing, such as optimizing earnings
by setting parking rates in accordance with the number of open parking spots.
By combining this solution with Citywide
Surveillance, even more sophisticated parking management can be achieved, such
as managing more detailed vehicle data, including types of cars and license
plate numbers, or monitoring vehicle break-ins.
2. Major features
– Monitoring of parking spots and zones:
Immediately ascertains the number of open spots, or determines the number of
vehicles in a given zone.
– Anomaly detection: Automatically detects parking
in no-parking zones or parking that straddles two different spots.
– Time series analysis: Uses past data to display
changes in usage status over time (daily, weekly).
