Video & image recognition
The combination of AI and video monitoring/recognition creates a lot of opportunities. For instance, smart, AI-driven cameras can predict when workers in the manufacturing industry are in danger of falling asleep at their machines, thus preventing workplace accidents.
They can also check whether workers are wearing their safety equipment. In turn, smart cameras linked to emergency call systems in healthcare can predict when a patient is a fall risk, making help more likely to arrive on time.
Also recognising potholes in road surfaces, spotting building violations, isolating products with shape divergences in a production process (e.g. 'bruised or damaged' apples): it's all possible.
Amazon employee Ben Hamm looked for a way to prevent his cat from bringing prey inside through the cat flap. In this video, you can see how he used AI image recognition to craft a smart cat flap himself.
