【2020 Solutions】 Point Media Technologies Introduces Image Quality Monitoring System for High Quality Images at Only One-tenth of the Cost

Video surveillance products generally only provide a black screen for comparison. Whether an image has mosaic or snowflakes can be determined by using the xception model for image quality monitoring, and the application of AI for determination allows the product to stand out.

Implementation of smart identification to monitor streaming in real time

Point Media Technologies is a company that specializes in the development and manufacturing of video streaming products, and has achieved good results in the radio, television, and OTT fields. The start-up coincided with the transition from analogue to digital television in Taiwan in 2013. Taiwan’s radio and television industry has always used foreign products, and not many products were developed by Taiwan This market gap led to the establishment of Point Media Technologies.

Video surveillance products generally only provide a black screen, video without audio, and audio without video, providing real-time images for determining mosaic. Whether an image has mosaic or snowflakes can be determined by using the xception model for image quality monitoring, and the application of AI for determination allows the product to stand out.

Image quality monitoring can be used in audiovisual transmission to assist in quality monitoring. At present, channel transmission operators use three methods are used for audiovisual transmission: satellite, data line and Internet public network transmission.

The audiovisual transmission process goes through many encoding and decoding devices. The operation process of these devices may cause damage to the image. In the past, poor signal quality was only discovered after outputting images to the user end. The inspection and repair process also takes a lot of time, resulting in poor viewing performance.

Due to the low cost of using AI for determining image quality, it can monitor each audiovisual node. Once the system detects an error signal, it can notify the engineer immediately to deal with it, reducing the processing time and is better able to improve user satisfaction with the viewing experience.

High-quality audiovisual effects at only one-tenth the cost?

To achieve the high image quality required by radio and television, it often costs up to NT$1 million to purchase related equipment. After the introduction of AI technology, the cost is only NT$100,000, which is only about one-tenth of the cost. The AI audiovisual determination module has a multi-screen monitoring system. After commercial verification, this AI image quality determination module is able to assist automated monitoring and improve the quality of audiovisual transmission. If this AI module program is applied to a microcomputer, it will be more convenient to introduce it to various user units. All radio and television, OTT, and live streaming operators can use this system to meet their automated monitoring needs. The AI module can detect image problems with an accuracy of about 96%, allowing problems to be quickly detected and resolved.

Channel transmission operators are responsible for the reception and transmission of dozens of channel signals in Taiwan. The audiovisual signals received will be transmitted to various cable TV and OTT platforms in Taiwan. Since each channel needs to be transmitted to many nodes, the TV wall in the monitoring center is full of TV signals. Manual monitoring is imperfect, resulting in line abnormalities and unstable signal quality, which in turn affects the viewers’ rights. After introducing the system, the image quality monitoring system replaces manual monitoring and immediately reports any abnormalities in the image, greatly improving the quality of audiovisual transmission.

Dual mode error event examination

Using AI vision to replace human vision, Claireye Intelligence uses AI to help the manufacturing industry with quality control

In response to customer demand on a wide variety of products in small quantities in the manufacturing industry, there is an urgent need to find AI solutions from the cloud to terminals Claireye Intelligence provides a solution that integrates software and hardware - BailAI image inspection solution to assist traditional manufacturing industries in improving process efficiency and product quality, thereby achieving the initial goal of transformation After the government declared 2017 to be Taiwan's "First Year of AI," AI startups have sprung up in Taiwan Established in 2018, Claireye Intelligence targets smart manufacturing and provides a platform for AI image analysis and process optimization, using the power of deep learning to detect product defects and abnormalities in the assembly process It assists companies in building infrastructure from terminals to the cloud, which enables automated monitoring of factory production to improve process efficiency and quality Focusing on AI image inspection based on its familiarity with the production line quality control process Shirley Liu, founder and CEO of Claireye Intelligence, is a young entrepreneur She entered the manufacturing industry after graduating from college and held a quality control position in the plastic injection process of hard disk parts "She was already on the production line at the time, and is familiar with the production line process of production machinery" She later switched career paths to marketing and planning, and then worked as an AI product manager When the time came, Shirley Liu decided to start a business, focusing on AI image recognition in the manufacturing industry "The difficulty for enterprises is the lack of an AI development team Even if an enterprise has an AI team, development projects will take a lot of time, at least 6-12 months" said Shirley Liu, who is well versed in the market's pain points The problem that needs to be solved by platforms is to provide services that allow traditional manufacturing industries to build their own AI models without needing employees with a programming background, and to remotely assist production lines with troubleshooting and subsequent system maintenance, helping companies save development time and labor costs BailAI image inspection platform usage scenarios Facing the large number of competitors that provide AI image recognition in the market, what are the technical advantages of Claireye Intelligence Shirley Liu said that many companies currently have AOI equipment, but the bottleneck in the application of AOI is that it can only be used for defect inspection in fast production of large quantities, and parameters need to be adjusted after each inspection or production Based on her understanding of the industry, most SMEs are limited by their financial resources due to AOI equipment often costing over NT1 million, but they also want to use automated inspection This is where Claireye Intelligence comes in Shirley Liu went on to say that it is impossible for traditional manufacturing industries to maintain a technical team that includes AI engineers, data engineers, cloud architects, and terminal architects Claireye Intelligence specializes in software and hardware integration Enterprises can use the BailAI image inspection platform to easily solve inspection problems on the production line In other words, customers only need to provide images or samples for Claireye Intelligence to carry out model training, model deployment, and system integration, and they can easily use AI technology to optimize and monitor production line processes Participated in the AI New Talent Selection and achieved a recognition rate of over 90 in assembly behavioral image recognition For example, a certain connector manufacturer only has 1-2 AI engineers in its technical team The main problem that needs to be solved is that most operators are on the production line, while quality control and senior managers are not on site, and the company wants to understand the actual situation of the production line through remote monitoring Claireye Intelligence uses industrial cameras to capture production line images, and transmits AI image analysis to the remote end Supervisors and quality control personnel can observe if there are any errors in the production line assembly, such as whether the connectors and lines are connected properly, through the monitor Claireye Intelligence's AI image inspection operates on Microsoft's Azure cloud platform, and also utilizes terminal equipment, such as NVIDIA's edge computing equipment placed around the inspection station, to assist traditional manufacturing industries with improving production line efficiency and detecting problems early through an integrated solution from the cloud to terminals Claireye Intelligencersquos customers currently include aviation, electronic peripherals, connectors, and metal industries Assembly process solution for human behavior recognition in assembly lines achieves an accuracy of over 90 In order to demonstrate the depth of technology, Claireye Intelligence participated in the 2021 AI New Talents Selection of the Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, and provided Lite-On Technology with the "assembly process solution for human behavior recognition in assembly lines" The solution determines effective working hours and ineffective working hours of operators on the production line through cameras and AI image recognition It recognizes hand posture and position through images to determine the operator's assembly behavior, achieving an accuracy of over 90 Shirley Liu added that the assembly process of electronic components is complex, mostly carried out manually, and cannot be replaced by robotic arms Claireye Intelligence used cameras to film the assembly process of operators at Lite-On's assembly station The algorithm is then trained and corrected based on the video, and the final trained model can directly determine whether there are any errors in the assembly process to improve the overall process Project development time is expected to be shortened to 1 month by using the BailAI image inspection platform Since its establishment more than three years ago, Claireye Intelligence has accumulated a considerable amount of project experience and hopes to commercialize the project experience Shirley Liu pointed out that the trial version of BailAI image inspection will be completed this year 2022 Customers can choose industrial cameras or video cameras based on the detail of the object being inspected It can even use X-rays to capture images, and then the images are automatically marked by the platform Claireye Intelligence will provide customers with AI application models suitable for the field Inferences can also be made in the cloud or terminals for launch in the manufacturing industry The metals industry, metal casings of industrial computers, connectors, electronic peripherals, and mechanical parts can all use the platform for defect detection and object identification Claireye Intelligence will continue to improve its technical capabilities, accumulate customer experience to complete commercialization, and also accelerate the implementation of AI inspection applications In the mid-term, it will build terminal and cloud infrastructure and shorten the development time of enterprise AI projects from 6-12 months to 1 month, reducing usage time and lowering the threshold for enterprises The long-term goal is to target the Southeast Asian market where Taiwanese businesses are gathered, expand software and hardware integrated AI solutions to overseas markets, and expand the scale of operations
