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 Control Room Breakthrough by Honeywell & TotalEnergies
What happened Honeywell announced an ongoing pilot with TotalEnergies at the Port Arthur Refinery (Texas) using Experion Operations Assistant, an AI-assisted control room solution that supports operators with short-term forecasts and decision support to optimise production and enhance autonomy over … 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
