NetApp for computer vision overview

Features and Benefits

The capabilities that set NetApp for computer vision apart.

The superhuman impact of computer vision

In the grocery store - Because three's a crowd

Computer vision can track and count the number of people in line and automatically sound an alert to open more checkouts when a threshold has been reached.

In the house - Helping you heal

AI can observe patients in their home and guide them in performing physical therapy exercises properly.

In your wallet - Pay without currency (or cards)

Next time you use a mobile payment system to pay for your morning coffee, be sure to thank computer vision for the convenience.

In the street - Get where you need to go quickly and safely

Computer vision helps smart cities manage traffic flow. It can even adjust the brightness of streetlights when people are detected.

To achieve crystal-clear computer vision, you need:

Huge amounts of data

Computer vision programs are trained on thousands, millions, or billions of images. The size of your training dataset could be the difference between seeing a chihuahua or a blueberry muffin.

The ability to move that data across edge, core, and cloud

  • Thousands of edge devices gather terabytes of data each day.
  • Self-driving vehicles can have 6 to 21 cameras and generate between 1TB and 32TB of data per day.

The power to do it all at the speed of human thought

Computer vision requires real-time response in milliseconds to tackle high-pressure, real-life scenarios. Millisecond latency is scorching fast.
