| A new report from IMS Research shows that behind the hype surrounding video content analysis software, the technology has in fact taken a huge leap forward this year and the market is now rapidly gaining momentum. To date, the adoption rate has not been as strong as many in the industry expected, partly due to the high cost of server-based solutions. This has mainly restricted the use of video content analysis to high-end government and military applications. IMS Research predicts this is about to change, as developments in DSP technology have cleared the way for video content analysis algorithms to be embedded into field devices, such as network cameras and video encoders, bringing the technology into the price range of the mass market. |
