During the recent TMA 2022 Annual Meeting Marco Island., Fla., I addressed the topic of presence detection. For this Monitoring Today column, I want to focus on its value, especially how it relates when converged with other platforms.
Presence detection and the attributed AI associated with the various platforms has progressed significantly in the past few years. Most of what’s referred to as artificial intelligence (AI) is essentially very sophisticated machine learning (ML). ML is a subfield of AI, which is essentially the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior. The AI or ML systems are leveraged by video and presence detection platforms to analyze data points and activity and perform complex tasks in a way that is similar to how humans solve problems.
