Try our AI live in the browser: People Detection and Familiar Face Identification

World’s most accurate people detection for Renesas RA MCUs.

Plumerai delivers a complete software solution for people detection. Our models are tiny and fast. Running on a Renesas next-gen RA MCU with an Arm Cortex-M85 with Helium, the frame rate is over 13 fps. Arm Cortex-M33 and Cortex-M4 MCUs are supported as well.

Intelligent people detection sensors

Our AI can integrate into systems that don't record or transmit video. These devices simply work better when they know where we are: lights turn on when we get home and AC's steer the cold airflow toward you. The elderly can stay independent longer with sensors that notice when they need help. Since our AI can even run on microcontrollers, these systems can be inexpensive and battery-powered.

Video doorbells and smart home cameras

Smart home cameras traditionally rely on motion sensors that trigger false alerts due to moving objects or lighting changes. Our accurate people detection AI removes these false alarms and enables new use cases. Receive notifications when people are on your property and not when a pedestrian simply passes by. Since all the AI runs inside the camera, there's no cloud compute cost either.

Security cameras and video analytics

Our people detection AI software runs on any standard video security camera. Since our AI is tiny, there’s no need for a GPU or AI accelerator. Our people detection enables applications such as alarms, supports people tracking for counting, loitering detection, or to steer pan-tilt-zoom cameras to auto-follow. People can even be blurred for privacy and GDPR compliance.

Video conferencing and webcams

Our people detection AI on webcams and video conferencing systems ensures that every video call participant is optimally in view. Whether you're sitting right next to the camera or at the end of a long boardroom table, you'll be visible. Automatic reports can be generated with participant statistics and conference room occupancy. Since our AI has a tiny footprint, even consumer webcams can offer professional features.

There are many more applications where detecting people provides value. We’re also helping robots to detect humans, PIR-based motion sensors to become more accurate, detecting pedestrians to increase the efficiency of traffic lights and elevators, and many more.
