NTT DOCOMO: Combining overhead video with 5G: with Mitsubishi “Fairyview®”
Mitsubishi Electric / NTT DOCOMO
5G utilization: bird’s-eye view video synthesis technology
We have concluded a cooperation agreement for the practical application of surveillance camera services utilizing overhead view video synthesis technology and 5G.
Utilizing Mitsubishi Electric’s Fairyview® video synthesis technology and DOCOMO’s 5G, we will commercialize a new surveillance camera service.
Demonstration experiments will be started on Thursday, January 23, 2020 at DOCOMO 5G OpenLab® Yotsuya.
Purpose of cooperation:
In recent years, the security industry has been facing a serious labor shortage due to changes in the social environment accompanying a shrinking workforce.
As the demand for large-scale event security increases, the need for efficient surveillance services utilizing AI is increasing.
Mitsubishi Electric and DOCOMO will combine Mitsubishi Electric’s Fairyview with DOCOMO’s 5G (“high-speed / large-capacity”, “low-latency”, “multi-connection”) to achieve real-time overhead video generation.
Mitsubishi Electric: Fairyview
Full high-definition video data shot by surveillance cameras is sent to the image processing server.
Since the images are synthesized on the server, a bird’s-eye view image can be generated smoothly.
Utilize DOCOMO’s 5G:
Current LTE has difficult issues.
DOCOMO’s 5G：“High-definition video data from multiple cameras can be transmitted in real time without compression.”
It is possible to realize wireless camera.
The degree of freedom of installation increases, and a fixed communication line is unnecessary.
You can expect a reduction in installation costs.
This work will be introduced at “DOCOMO Open House 2020”, which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from January 23, 2020 (Thursday).
