Where it works

The deployments with a real record, most of which point cameras at objects rather than people, and the ones where a supplement is substituted for the control that should have been installed.

5 notes

Safety Detection

The strongest justification available, and the place where monitoring is most often substituted for the physical control that should have been installed.

Procedure

Quality Inspection

The application where computer vision is most mature and least contentious: a controlled scene, a defined defect, and no people in frame.

Procedure

Counting and Flow

Occupancy, queues and movement patterns answered in aggregate, with the person-level data discarded at source. The design decision that makes it unremarkable.

Procedure

Inspecting Things Instead of People

Asset condition, infrastructure defects, agriculture and environment. The applications with no privacy dimension at all, and where the technique is strongest.

Reference

Retail and Service Environments

The sector where the useful aggregate applications and the contentious identification ones are sold together. Separating them before purchase.
