Hikvision develops AI-driven video encoding technology
Hikvision has developed Guanlan Encoding, a technology that uses AI to identify areas of varying informational richness in video images and encodes frames accordingly. The aim is to improve storage efficiency.
Hangzhou, China – Hikvision has developed a new artificial intelligence-based video encoding technology called Guanlan Encoding. This technology analyzes video frames to distinguish between areas with higher and lower amounts of visual information, adjusting the encoding process for each frame based on this analysis.
The core objective of Guanlan Encoding is to enhance video storage efficiency and reduce the required storage capacity. By intelligently allocating resources, the system prioritizes encoding detail in critical areas, such as moving objects or intricate scenes, while applying less intensive encoding to simpler, static backgrounds.
Hikvision suggests that this approach can lead to significant reductions in storage space and bandwidth consumption compared to conventional encoding methods. The company anticipates that the technology will be particularly beneficial for surveillance and video processing applications that handle large volumes of data.
This development by Hikvision indicates a broader trend of integrating AI into video processing to optimize performance and resource utilization. Further details on the technology's implementation and availability have not yet been released.
