“Using machine learning techniques and a graphic processing unit (GPU)-built approach, Herta processes video surveillance data entirely in the cloud. Its real-time, reliable, and effective biometric video surveillance solutions employ advanced technologies to deliver speed, accuracy, and ease of use; it helps produce results 40 times faster than with traditional CPUs,” said Danielle VanZandt, Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “The high-tech facial recognition, deep learning algorithms, and GPU allow customers to combine existing live camera processing with video capture.
