IDIS harnesses power of deep learning to “transform” live privacy masking

IDIS Smart Privacy Masks eliminate the challenges associated with conventional masking techniques, such as the inability to detect people and the failure to apply masking and zone settings that can blur entire areas, making it hard to distinguish people from objects.

Other common issues, such as latency, can also result in potential privacy breaches or over-masking. Combined, these problems lead to significant performance degradation of surveillance operations, making it difficult for users to balance privacy with clarity, while hindering monitoring and investigations.

IDIS has overcome these challenges with a solution that maintains high video resolution and frame rates even when dealing with dynamic and busy environments and high-resolution streams.

Patented technology 

The new patented technology harnesses the power of the in-house developed and trained IDIS Deep Learning Engine. It adjusts mosaic strength to ensure video streams deliver optimum clarity and visibility, while protecting privacy. This more finely calibrated masking makes distinguishing people’s actions and movements easier in real-time, while ensuring individuals’ identities are always protected.

IDIS Smart Privacy Masks combine the advantages of object detection and heat maps with deep learning and enterprise-level IDIS Solutions Suite (ISS) processing to increase accuracy on a significant level.

Given that IDIS Smart Privacy Masking takes place on board ISS, it’s exceptionally resource efficient. This ensures stable and high-resolution video transmission to retain usable footage and forensic evidence.

In addition, as a module within IDIS Solution Suite, IDIS Smart Privacy Masks adds further to the feature-rich array of tools. The latest innovation adds value to IDIS’ comprehensive video line-up, encompassing a high-performance and robust range of cameras and network recorders, advanced AI-powered analytics options and network accessories.

With the assurance of Korean-made reliability, IDIS offers end-to-end solutions that include everything required for surveillance applications for businesses, large or small, as well as solutions that come with instant plug-and-play functionality of all devices and software backed by industry-leading warranties.

More options

Dr JunHyeok Heo, head of solution development at IDIS, has stated that IDIS Smart Privacy Masks will give security and safety managers more options for real-time monitoring in additional applications without worrying about breaching existing and new regulatory compliance or compromising security.

“As AI video technology becomes more accurate, IDIS is focusing on perfecting capabilities where users want to see the highest standards of reliability and performance,” stated Dr Heo. “With IDIS Smart Privacy Masks, we’ve done exactly this, combining powerful deep learning with our enterprise-class IDIS Solution Suite VMS to achieve optimum results.”
