Depth Perception + Object Detection = Game Changer
Knoxnet can support depth estimation models to add “3D-like context” to 2D cameras:
Estimate distance and relative position
Improve filtering (“ignore cars far away,” “only alert inside fence line”)
Build better analytics on large spaces (driveways, yards, lots)
Searchable security reports anytime
Use keywords and natural language to instantly generate and search your own custom security reports with NO LIMITATIONS.
