Harness the World’s
Camera Data with
‘Privacy by Design’

In 2022, 7 exabytes of video data will be transmitted by vehicles and public cameras per hour, providing infinite data points - crucial for an autonomous infrastructure, insight-driven services and to empower new businesses.

Brighter AI empowers companies to use public camera data for analytics & AI while being compliant with increasing data privacy regulations worldwide.

AI-based anonymization for AI in automotive, retail and smart city. We call it Deep Natural Anonymization.

Use Cases

Automotive

Brighter AI provides a key solution to bring self-driving cars on the road. With an innovative face and license plate anonymization solution, automotive manufacturers and ADAS suppliers can focus on data collection, labelling and the development of AI models. Brighter AI offers anonymization for autonomous driving training data in a natural way that allows for GDPR-compliant processing. Also, Brighter AI is partnering with OEMs to anonymize camera data for self-driving cars on the edge and works on embedding the software into vehicles.

Retail & Smart City

Like our eyes, cameras capture the world and collect data about the environment. With Deep Natural Anonymization, Brighter AI transforms installed cameras of public transportation providers and retailers into sensors for advanced video analytics. This does not only allow to replace single-purpose technologies like people counters, but also, for the first time, enables data processing in the cloud. With numerous cloud analytics providers available, customers have the option to choose analyses in a flexible manner. From customer demographics and emotions to clothing style, anything is possible.

Deployment

On Premise

Clients can download Brighter AI's container-based anonymization solution onto their system. Our neural networks run on servers with at least one GPU, and the SaaS solution is priced by a monthly licensing fee per server node. If you want to test our anonymization solution, please get in touch.

Edge

Brighter AI also provides natural anonymization of faces and license plates on the edge. We can deploy directly on cameras and vehicles to remove personal identifiers even before processing the data. If you are looking to anonymize camera data on an edge device to enable cloud analytics, please get in touch.

Embedded

Brighter AI is exploring to bring Deep Natural Anonymization into serial production with leading industry partners. Our technology can anonymize personal identifiers directly on the camera. If you are an automotive or camera manufacturer looking for a custom embedded solution, please get in touch.
