Highway/Sidewalk Maintenance
Use Cases
- Detecting damaged roads and pavements
- Identifying still water areas
- Worn road marking detection
- Discarded object detection
- Damaged sign detection
Chameleon Benefits
- Recording street damage can be time consuming and cause congestion. Creating scenes and scenarios in Chameleon avoids this problem and can then be repeated multiple times varying lighting and weather conditions to ensure the network is generalized
- Some use cases (e.g. worn road markings, discarded items) may not be regular events so creating sufficient training data in the real world can be challenging. Easy to do in Chameleon
Public Area Management
Use Cases
Managing areas such as car parks, parks and sports grounds can be as important as managing the interior of buildings, for example
- Congestion management
- Incident identification
- Customer support
- Lost equipment
Chameleon Benefits
Multiple cameras with differing camera parameters (field of view / sensor size / saturation / noise etc) can be easily inserted to represent the different camera types/positions/heights used
Scenarios can be automatically re-run with different lighting and weather conditions to create a large training datasets
Often events are safer to create & repeat in Chameleon than in the real world
Home Automation
Use Cases
- Robotics control
- Lost object detection e.g. glasses/TV remote
- Perimeter management
- Accidents
- Access Control
- Pet monitoring
Chameleon Benefits
- The Chameleon platform exposes an external control API allowing the simulator to be guided by an external application, useful for robotics.
- Configurable semantic rooms available Q1 2023 allowing huge variations in room configurations and intra room navigation
- Lighting and time of day fully controllable to ensure generalization across multiple environments
- Procedural generation of floor and wall textures enables massive variations in images, good for generalisation
Home Safety
Use Cases
- Delivery alert
- Object monitoring/theft
- Suspicious person
- Perimeter management
- Family identification
- Pet monitoring
Chameleon Benefits
- No GDPR or privacy issues with the training data
- Easy to procedurally vary clothing of actors and box size per run
- Lighting and weather conditions can be varied. Delivery in the evening and in poor weather conditions is a common occurrence
- Camera position can be easily varied, or multiple cameras added to thoroughly test the AI network e.g. a doorbell cam. can be added
Gesture Recognition
Use Cases
- Gesture recognition for home automation control
- Person reidentification
- Who’s at home?
- Emergency signaling
- Event alert
Chameleon Benefits
- Mindtech’s Configurable Actors have built in keypoints for skeleton, hand and face.
- Detailed body semantic segmentation (head, arms, hands) also available
- All annotation data generated is pixel accurate
- The Configurable Actor technology allows multiple types of people to be created to ensure the AI network is not over fitting to a particular person type
- Multiple lighting, time of day and camera angles can be used to enable good generalization of the AI network
- All cameras are fully per frame synchronized, faster than real time also available
