This Award recognizes Aimetis for its technological innovation in embedding video analytics into digital signal processors (DSP) for edge devices, Long before the market realized their importance.
"Analytics in video surveillance is experiencing explosive growth and one of the most important trends is the move to embed analytics into edge devices such as IP cameras and encoders," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst George C. Paul. "Aimetis is one of the few companies to have embedded video analytics on a DSP, having done so since 2004. Aimetis video analytics algorithms run on Texas Instruments" DM642 for camera solutions and Freescale's 8144 for multi-channel devices."
The company's intelligent video software includes the VE Series of video analytics algorithms, as well as Aimetis' open IP-surveillance software, AIRA v5.0, for robust video management.
