The City of Sacramento selected Unleash live as the partner of choice to meet a specific government challenge, beating out a number of competing solutions with a clear goal to:

Automate the data collection process of pedestrian counts at intersections throughout the City

Enable the City to be more responsive to changing conditions and be better equipped to prioritize pedestrian crossings

The City’s aim was twofold:

Improve safety for pedestrians

Improve understanding of the utilization of existing crosswalks

Access data to generate insights to inform crosswalk and signage placement

Improve data collection and processing for traffic and pedestrian safety improvements

Reducing the time required for manual data collection

Enable broader collection of data at scale for city planning and security purposes

Unleash live: An automated video analysis pipeline

Unleash live integrates the output of CCTV camera networks, existing IoT devices and other data sources such as mobile trailer cams into a browser-agnostic cloud platform. The captured data can be analyzed using dynamic A.I. models, visualized to provide immediate insights and exported for deeper analysis with 3rd party solutions such as Esri ArcGIS or PowerBI.

The platform enables:

Multi-camera, live video streaming

Automated and accurate visual data collection

Intelligent analysis and detection with A.I.

Automated reporting system to drive immediate insights

Notifications and alerts for faster response

Storage and archiving

Saving 5–15% in city operations costs and improving time to insight from months to a few hours

Computer vision and A.I. provides data and analysis that adds new value and compliments other forms of data collection for smart cities to identify, inform, alert, plan and predict. Scalable custom A.I. solutions can be applied to a broad range of departments.

Reducing cost for data capture (full SaaS, zero capital expense)

Reducing time to gather insights (from months to hours)

The improved scale of data capture (from a few cameras to 100s of cameras)

Flexibility for additional on the spot analysis, time series analysis or historical deep dives (e.g. full storage, archiving and search of data, fast mobile camera analysis, trailer cam analysis, temporary event cams, city planners Android cams, GoPros, etc)

Esri integration

Esri’s ArcGIS is a powerful geospatial tool utilized by cities including the City of Sacramento to compile and analyze mapped data. Unleash live integrates with ESRI to deliver real-time data and analytics, providing a rich visual experience to bring that data to life.
