At the International AI Expo, a variety of AI technology companies participated, showcasing a wide range of vision-based services and products. We examined companies showcasing AI vision products ranging from servers to the edge, and asked them about related trends and what they consider key factors in product selection.

Nexreal, "Reference Reliability Judgment Scale"
NEXPEAL, a venture company specializing in embedded vision AI, unveiled a stereo-based multimodal AI camera. It implements embedded vision systems in real time and integrates intelligent image analysis algorithms into its design, integrating multimodal sensors.

As a company capable of carrying out the entire process from hardware design to AI SW development, the multimodal AI camera has been adopted and supplied as a two-person detection alarm solution for the airport's 5th generation automatic immigration checkpoint.

In addition, we have developed the Vision AI Box, an edge AI vision server, and are supplying products that apply various AI solutions, such as abnormal behavior detection and object recognition, to CCTV infrastructure as desired by customers. We are currently supplying AI boxes to the National Police Agency as a victim protection system that detects intrusions and wandering.

Jong-Moon Ahn, Nexreal's sales director, said, "We implemented a vision AI that lightens the SOTA algorithm for low-power devices, and added features such as sending only snapshots to the server when an event occurs."

With the recent surge in vision AI solution providers, it's becoming increasingly difficult for consumers to find the right product, said Director Ahn. "From a consumer's perspective, checking the product's supply history and other references can be a valuable tool for assessing its reliability," he advised.

Visionin, "Customized scalability and rapid technological response capabilities."
Visionin, a specialized AI solution service provider, provides object detection and event notification solutions for intelligent CCTV. Its ViVA (Visionin Video Analytics) solution products provide vision AI solutions related to disaster and safety in the field, including fire detection, safety equipment detection, fall/intrusion/loitering detection, crowd detection, and safety hook failure detection.

The Visionin fire detection solution uses a dual camera, including thermal imaging, to support simultaneous flame and smoke detection, and uses an Intel i7 11th generation processor and RTX 3080Ti GPU to control up to 18 channels simultaneously. It provides lightweight algorithms for everything from server-side solutions to embedded edge devices.

The head of the Solutions Business Division, Go Yeon-cheol, expressed confidence in the reliability of the product, saying, “We have received objective performance verification through GS Grade 1 certification and KISA Intelligent CCTV performance test certification, and we have a reference of successfully supplying solutions to various large customers such as GS Caltex, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, and LG Electronics.”

Vice President Koh emphasized that the capabilities required for companies providing AI solutions are to provide scalable services through customized services tailored to each client, and to provide rapid market response through technology update support as a competitive advantage.

Woo Kyung Information Technology, "Comprehensive AI Vision Response with 80+ Development Teams"
Wookyung Information Technology is a company that started out with information security solutions and has grown since 2015 by researching and developing AI-based intelligent video security and video analysis technologies, adding AI vision solution capabilities.

With the mandatory CCTV system in operating rooms about to be implemented, Wookyung Information Technology expects to expand its market share through its hospital operating room CCTV video information security solution. It provides solutions such as image encryption, anti-forgery prevention, and image export management, and contributes to a safety net that prevents exposure of individual patient privacy through the quick masking function.

In addition, Woo Kyung Information Technology emphasized that its forest fire detection solution proactively detects smoke as well as flames, thereby enhancing the initial response capability to fire outbreaks.

A Woo Kyung Information Technology official said, “Woo Kyung Information Technology has a development staff of nearly 80 people and has a history of various projects, including supplying intelligent image analysis solutions to local governments and conducting image analysis technology cooperation in smart farms.”

Recently, the cloud-based integrated video analysis platform 'Dara' was introduced for the first time at the AI Expo, and it is expected to have the effect of reducing the physical computing and server burden within the center.
