Two tech companies operating under the Hong Kong Smart Government Innovation Lab have launched new solutions that are now ready to be acquired by companies and institutions.
Solution I – AI Animal Detection System
Description
The AI Animal Detection system can provide animal tracking, identify the species, calculate animal quantity in a certain area, and show an alert for a danger zone. For examepl, the AI Animal Detection System can monitor the wild boars’ actions and provide statistics for the government or organisation to manage the wild animals’ spreading problem.
Application Areas
The solution was designed to be applied in the areas of City Management, Development as well as Environment.
Technologies Used
The solution employs the latest in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics and Video Analytics.
Use Case
The AI Animal Detection System can provide animal tracking, identify the species, calculate animal quantity in a certain area, and show an alert for the danger zone. The system enhances the human process in analysing the collected visual animal data, it rapidly analyses vast amounts of animal images and improves the efficiency in collecting wild boars’ data.
The system supports a large set of features for different applications such as integration with other platforms through APIs for tracking the problem of widespread wild boars in Hong Kong. In addition, it can help in monitoring and controlling the local wild boar population for the government.
Solution II – RobotManager
Description
This solution is a secure middleware for heterogeneous fleets of robots. RobotManager monitors robots and jobs, commands and controls robots and integrates robots. The solution also improves operational complexity, slow development speed, and high integration and maintenance cost.
Application Areas
The solution was designed to be applied in the areas of City Management, Climate and Weather, Environment, Health, Infrastructure, Recreation and Culture, Transport as well as Robot Management.
Technologies Used
The solution employs the latest in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing, Internet of Things (IoT) and Video Analytics.
Use case
The solution can also be applied for Outdoor Patrol, Command & Control applications, with a Nursing Assistant technology as well as for Crowd Management.
About the Hong Kong Smart Government Innovation Lab
In 2018, the Government established the Smart Government Innovation Lab to explore hi-tech products such as AI and relevant technologies, including machine learning, big data analytics, cognitive systems and intelligent agent, as well as blockchain and robotics from firms, especially local start-ups.
The Lab is always on the lookout for innovation and technology (I&T) solutions that are conducive to enhancing public services or their operational effectiveness. I&T suppliers are encouraged to regularly visit the Lab’s website to check on the current business and operational needs in public service delivery and propose innovative solutions or product suggestions to address them.
