Introduction Construction sites are high-risk environments where accidents can happen in seconds. For years, CCTV systems were used mainly to review incidents after they occurred. Yet injuries remain common – around 50,000 construction workers suffer non-fatal injuries each year in … Read More

Froth Flotation Finally Turned Into Data
The Logic Translating video into process metrics. The surface of a flotation bank provides key indicators of air rate, reagent regime, and hydrodynamics. Computer vision transforms these pixel-based cues into actionable numbers, ensuring continuous and deterministic monitoring without the need … Read More
Improving 3D Reflection Performance with Gaussian Tracing
3DGS in short NeRF (Neural Radiance Fields) forms images by sampling a neural field along many rays, which looks good but can be slow. 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) replaces heavy per-pixel networks with many Gaussian splats and anisotropic points with … Read More
Event Based Video Analytics That Enhances Detection Accuracy
Summary of the research A recent arXiv paper on surveillance video accident detection uses transformer architectures (with motion cues like optical flow) to reason across sequences, not just frames. Instead of asking “is there a car in this frame?”, the … Read More
How Digital-Physical AI Is Changing Vision and Robotics
What “Digital-Physical AI” means in practice Digital-Physical AI is an approach where real-world sensor data (cameras, lidar, IMUs, microphones) is continuously connected with simulation and cloud-scale training to build AI systems that don’t just perceive, but also decide and act … Read More
AI Security Audits in Retrospect After Anthropic’s Intrusion Reveal
I. Introduction The corporate adoption of artificial intelligence tools and large language models (LLMs) has reached an inflection point. AI Agents, persistent artificial intelligence systems that execute complex, multi-step workflows using AI with memory, are reshaping the enterprise risk model. … Read More
Could AI Have Prevented Azure’s Thermal Event?
What actually happened Between roughly 17:00 UTC on 5 November and 02:25 UTC on 6 November, Microsoft flagged service disruption in West Europe after a thermal event – an in-datacenter temperature rise tied to cooling trouble. Microsoft’s preliminary post-incident note … Read More
What Makes 3D Gaussian Splatting So Much Faster
Creating realistic 3D models has historically been a slow process or one that produced limited results. A technique called 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) provides a powerful solution, making waves in fields like computer vision and AI. Instead of building 3D … Read More
DFW Fuel Spill: How AI Video Analytics Could Have Prevented It
When a fuel hose lost control during routine refueling at Dallas Fort Worth Airport (DFW) on October 11, spraying jet fuel around an American Eagle Airlines aircraft, it served as a stark reminder: even the most routine airport operations remain … Read More
AI License Plate Recognition Makes Transport Smarter and Safer
In today’s fast-paced world, monitoring vehicles is a priority for businesses, governments, and law enforcement. This is especially true in the development of Smart City infrastructure and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Enter the license plate recognition camera – a technology … Read More
