Mitsubishi Electric’s AI Detects Dangerous Behavior in Videos

Rhea-AI Summary

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Tokyo: 6503) has unveiled a new AI technology capable of detecting dangerous behavior by analyzing movements of multiple individuals captured on video. This innovative solution, part of the company’s Maisart AI technologies, aims to enhance safety in public spaces like train stations and airports. Traditional AI struggles to differentiate between violent and non-violent interactions, but Mitsubishi's technology boasts a detection accuracy of approximately 90%. This advancement addresses the growing need for effective monitoring in crowded environments.

Positive

• New AI technology developed for detecting dangerous behavior.
• Achieves about 90% detection accuracy of violent actions.
• Addresses increasing safety needs in public areas.

Negative

• None.

Analyzes multiple persons’ correlated movements; Suppresses false positives

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it has developed an AI technology to detect dangerous behavior by applying KOTSUMON^®* motion analysis, one of the company’s proprietary Maisart^®** AI technologies. The solution analyzes the movements of multiple persons in a video to identify violence between correlated people.

Needs are increasing to accurately detect dangerous behavior in public areas such as train stations and airports. However, it can be difficult to monitor large areas quickly and then accurately identify acts of violence. While AI technology is increasingly being used to analyze human attributes and behavior from video images, conventional AI has difficulty analyzing the postures and movements of two individuals to determine their behavioral relationship, such as the difference between a handshake and a violent grab.

Mitsubishi Electric’s new AI technology, however, analyzes the movements of multiple persons in a video, converting the movements into posture data points, and then determines the behavioral relationship of movements by people who are determined to have a correlation. According to company research, dangerous behavior can be detected about 90% of the time.
