Microbiology and chemistry researchers are beginning to examine the potential of computer vision based AI technology in their fields. Machine learning techniques could open up an exciting range of possibilities, from investigating novel chemical compounds to quickly identifying cells and microorganisms. Much of this technology is in its infancy and

Computer vision allows systems to extract valuable information from digital images. A wide range of industries, including some surprising ones, are using this powerful tool. The fast-food industry is not traditionally associated with cutting edge AI developments. However, leaders in the sector are beginning to see the potential value of

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic in-person shopping is still a part of our daily life. Even now it is difficult for online shopping to compete with the convenience of picking up food and essentials from a local store. The continued popularity of convenience stores means that they are also a focus

Modern cities are huge, complex and hard to manage. City governments and businesses have a responsibility to keep the built environment safe, easy to navigate and clean. The desire to improve urban living has led to the concept of the smart city. Using cameras and AI algorithms governments can autonomously

Computer vision models are being used to keep cities safer. Automated security cameras can detect crimes being committed, or monitor adherence to COVID-19 regulations, and traffic monitoring applications can reduce road accidents. In addition, AI powered monitoring use cases are also being deployed in less obvious ways. It is important

Supermarkets are embracing computer vision as a way of reducing costs and improving the customer experience. AI powered cameras can prevent theft, analyse in-store traffic and even identify how customers are feeling. However, busy retail settings are dynamic environments full of complex movement and interactions. If AI models are to

The use of computer vision based AI models for security purposes can be controversial. However, there is little doubt that AI has the capacity to make businesses and public spaces safer. Security cameras are everywhere but it can often be challenging for security staff to monitor them effectively 24/7.
