Asim Kadav
I am co-founder of eigen that provides scalable
video reasoning AI. Our entry market is retail. eigen
is currently funded by NEC-X and NECLA.
eigen has built the world's first real-time action recognition and video
understanding system. Our patented methods learn object interactions in video
streams to perform extremely efficient higher-order scene understanding. With
extensive applications in retail, healthcare, and other domains, eigenprovides
real-time and timely alerts for various events and automate various store operations.
My team has built eigenconsole that runs on the cloud (AWS) and can scale upto
thousands of streams into it for cloud-based AI processing. Our efficient AI
video algorithms only use $1/camera/day for streaming and inference and these
costs can be reduced further. eigen has a web frontend and we recently added
support for iOS/Android playback. eigen has signed several pilots in SF Bay
Area and is running live serving 150+ streams.
As a Senior Researcher at NEC Labs,.
my students and I have
built extremely efficient image
classification, video classification, video
retrieval and pose tracking methods. I am also the Founder of Eigen
based on my research on efficient video understanding.
