Dahua WizMind Utilises Leading AI Technology to Empower Vertical Markets

The Dahua WizMind portfolio of solutions comprises project-oriented products that adopt industry-leading deep learning algorithms to enable users to make the most out of their video surveillance data.

Human-based Applications

Dahua’s WizMind suite of solutions can efficiently search for targets through attributes analysis while delivering user security and privacy via powerful AI algorithms and advanced fusion technologies.

Dahua’s Privacy Protection is a GDPR-compliant technology that overlays a mosaic on the images of detected targets in real time. Privacy Protection+, which Dahua released earlier this year, integrates Privacy Protection technology with a variety of deep learning algorithms, providing analysable data while protecting users’ security and privacy.

It also supports simultaneous usage with AI functions, free mosaic on selected targets, and irregular black block masking, and is suitable for a wide-range of scenarios such as shopping mall, construction site, nursing home, operating room, and more.

WizMind’s PPE Detection technology features deep learning algorithms that can detect and capture images of personal protective equipment wearing on a site and trigger alarms accordingly. Detecting up to nine attributes (e.g. hats, workwear, masks), it supports importing of workwear images via IPC/IVSS as a basis for localised modelling, training and comparison, enabling quick target location using different target attributes.

In doing so, PPE Detection may assist in reducing the workload of safety management personnel and support improved employee safety in plants, factories, and other similar application scenarios.

Panoramas and People Counting

WizMind’s Panoramic Surveillance 2023 is designed for scenario applications that require a 180°, 270°, and 360° view for situational awareness.

Panoramic Surveillance offers clear images with up to 8K Ultra High Definition resolution, AR Panorama that displays the video of the corresponding camera via AR tags, EPTZ function that can simultaneously monitor multiple human and vehicle targets that triggered the alarm (up to five targets), and AI features including Perimeter Protection, Smart Tracking, Vehicle

Density Detection, etc.

The solution is ideal for monitoring large scenes such as open squares, urban roads, business parks, entrance/ exit areas, etc.

WizMind also features a People Counting function that can track and process moving human targets and collect accurate statistics on people entering, leaving and currently within the monitored area, generating useful data for business analysis. The function includes Leaving Post Detection, Crowd Detection, People Counting for Line Crossing, People Counting in Area and Queue Management.

Vehicle-based Applications

WizMind captures various vehicle attributes for easy management, quick search and efficient business analysis, providing complete coverage in various application scenarios include roads, waterways and parking spaces.

The Video Metadata technology of WizMind is equipped with deep learning algorithms that can efficiently locate human and vehicle targets based on attributes analysis.

Depending on the algorithm version of the product model, it can detect more than ten human attributes, over seven motor vehicle attributes and over six non-motor vehicle attributes. Target direction analysis and data statistics can be harnessed for business analysis.

The solution is ideal for application scenarios that require constant monitoring of people and vehicles entering/leaving the premises such as industrial campus and main roads.

When a vehicle enters the monitored area, WizMind’s Parking Detection technology based on CNN deep learning will capture its images and save metadata. If illegal parking is detected, the system will sound warnings via an built-in loudspeaker.

Supporting the overlaying of license plate number and other violation information on the captured image for evidentiary purposes, it displays both panoramic and detail views simultaneously for a wider detection range.

Hydrological Monitoring is another new feature of WizMind powered by Dahua’s self-developed algorithms. Designed for use in water resource areas, such as rivers, seas and lakes, it features Water Level Detection, Boat Detection and Floating Objects Detection, supporting waterways management and analysis.

Thermal Applications

With explosion proof certifications (ATEX and IECEx) and IP66 ingress protection rating, Dahua’s explosionproof cameras provide online Industrial Temperature Measurement with high accuracy, providing a new method to monitor equipment and pipelines during production.

Aside from Online Temperature Monitoring, it also offers Intelligent Inspection that can be achieved by editing the device list on the platform and linking it with the temperature monitoring camera.

Another WizMind thermal application is Boat Detection, which utilises imaging thermal cameras powered by AI, enabling it to accurately detect and identify boats or ships. It features multiple boat data (e.g. height, speed, distance) capability, anti-corrosion coating or 316L stainless steel housing, and all-weather operation.

Other Features

The Dahua WizMind series is compatible with major third-party platforms, with Dahua Partner Alliance DHOP and API enabling smooth and efficient integration with technology partners. All WizMind products have passed ONVIF conformance process.

The series is compatible with global video management systems, PSIM and Alarm Monitoring Software (e.g. AxxonSoft, Digifort, Advancis, SoftGuard). It also supports advanced AI-based functions (e.g. ANPR, People Counting, Perimeter Protection and Heat Map) with Qognify, Network Optix, Luxriot and other players in the industry.

With more than 15 existing partners and more than 18 integrated applications, the Dahua Hardware Open Platform enables users to customise cameras based on their actual needs.
