Fall detection on edge: HPE + stereo vision on AMD Kria K26
Real-time fall prediction and detection system using human pose estimation on embedded AMD Kria K26 SoM with stereo vision. Privacy-preserving, battery-operated deployment for elderly care monitoring—demonstrates practical edge CV for health applications.
Read more →Context-aware fusion for robust multi-class detection in autonomous driving
Novel Context-Centric Feature Fusion (CCFF) framework tackles rare classes, small objects, and heterogeneous scenes in autonomous driving detection. Directly addresses production challenges: handling imbalanced object distributions and scale variation in complex real-world driving scenarios.
Read more →Dual-state slots: stable object identity tracking in video decomposition
Improves unsupervised video object-centric learning by decoupling appearance from identity in slot representations, addressing occlusion and motion challenges. Practical for video segmentation pipelines where maintaining object consistency matters.

AI CCTV for Factories: What Actually Works
Real factory CCTV systems mostly record passively without actionable insights. This guide covers what actually moves the needle in production environments—detection, alerting, and integration with existing workflows. Critical for practitioners deploying vision systems in industrial settings where false positives waste operators.
