The 3rd NVIDIA IVA Summit in Japan was held on Friday, June 21, 2019, hosted by NVIDIA GK (hereinafter referred to as NVIDIA). In this report article, we will introduce the state of the event.

State of the venue

What is IVA?

IVA is an abbreviation for Intelligent Video Analytics, which means "image analysis" and related technologies.

Image recognition technology using AI (artificial intelligence) has improved dramatically, and it has begun to be used in various places around the city, such as suspicious person detection with cameras and unmanned store management systems.

The advantage of edge processing with Jetson AGX Xavier is low latency and minimal burden on network traffic. In addition, newly trained models can be remotely deployed via the network, enabling continuous model updates to be put into practice.

During the session, many of the participants were particularly impressed by the following:

・ Manage product shelves with camera images and recognize multiple items
・Detecting vibrations of construction site cranes from images
・Detection of anomalies in river flow

And so on. There are various industries and fields, but each one has already advanced so far! I was surprised to see that. I think that I was able to introduce many more concrete and introduced cases than the first IVA Summit in Japan.
