"Xerox" appeared in the large data market, or to innovate the pipe system

Xerox Xerox, the famous and notorious printers, copiers and other digital photocopying products manufacturers, is expanding its services from the Office to traffic data Services.

Xerox will use its many years of imaging technology to identify license plate number, distance, the number of passengers and the road, such as Jeeves, Rob Road behavior and other illegal traffic. Unlike previous http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13605.html "> Video monitoring, Xerox's image processing, analysis system embedded in the camera fuselage, after the camera collected pictures will be automatically analyzed, The useful data is then played to the Information Center or command centre for corresponding processing.

Xerox of this real-time image processing system will be the traditional image processing experts and engineers caused a huge impact, will not be reproduced in the "Xerox Patent Monopoly event"?

Abu Islam, an investigative scientist at Xerox, said the most critical problem in the current large data solution for long-distance traffic is the network broadband problem, with cameras all over the world sending high-quality images to the information center servers, which overwhelm the network bandwidth. "These 400, 600, 8 million cameras take 30, 40, 50 pictures per second, and sending such high-definition images back to the information center will put a huge strain on network bandwidth," he said. ”

How to solve? Embedded localized image processing

Islam said: "Every monitoring system wants what they get is useful data." If we can embed the localized image processing system in the camera location, only the useful information is sent back to the information center, which can release the network bandwidth pressure. IntelliSense, intelligent processing, as long as the sending of useful data. ”

At present Xerox Crosssafe system has been used in American school bus, and achieved great success. When the school bus stops at the roadside, it starts recording vehicles that do not follow the traffic rules, and then records the license plate numbers of these vehicles and sends them to the management Department for disposal. (The United States law stipulates that after the bus stops, all vehicles must wait, no overtaking, otherwise the penalty will be heavy penalties)

Crosssafe automatic traffic violation of the solution to save trouble, in the past has been a problem need to arrange a traffic police spent hours back and forth in the car video, in order to find the offenders. Islam said: "Sounds crazy, the Crosssafe system can analyze pictures by frame, once the vehicle is violated will record the vehicle information." ”

In addition to doing image analysis, Xerox also applies data analysis to the parking system. When the number of parking in the daytime, it will be appropriate to reduce vehicle spacing to increase parking spaces, the system most beneficial to the number of parking lots, car parking time to suffer. At the same time Xerox also developed a mobile vehicle plate recognition system, if the system is widely used, those who do not follow the rules of the car owners may suffer.

One of the major causes of vehicle congestion in big cities is that vehicles cannot find parking spaces, the city's congestion rate has fallen by 30% since the use of Xerox's large data traffic analysis system, as well as reducing the number of municipal vehicles and intelligently adjusting the number of parking spaces on important holidays.
