AWS Panorama Illustrates Several Trends

AWS Panorama neatly illustrates a few key trends in computing: edge computing; distributed computing; artificial intelligence and digital transformation. 


AWS Panoramais a new machine learning appliance and software development kit allowing organizations to bring computer vision (CV) to their on-premises cameras to make automated predictions on the spot, with high accuracy and low latency, without human intervention. 


The AWS Panorama Appliance is a hardware device installed on a local surveillance camera system network. Panorama connects to existing cameras within a facility to run multiple computer vision models on concurrent video streams, providing analysis that otherwise would have to be performed manually by humans, with locally or remotely.

The AWS Panorama Appliance value can come in various ways beyond local image analysis and pattern recognition. Panorama adds value where low-latency recognition is important and remote processing takes too long. 


In other cases, where data privacy is required, it may not be desirable to send information across the internet or wide area networks. In other cases, local internet access bandwidth might be limited or episodic, requiring local processing for continuity. 


In yet other cases, the savings in WAN bandwidth charges also add value. 


With AWS Panorama, companies can use compute power at the edge  (without requiring video streamed to the cloud) to improve their operations. 


Panorama automates monitoring and visual inspection tasks like evaluating manufacturing quality, finding bottlenecks in industrial processes, and assessing worker safety within their facilities. These methods are manual, error prone, and difficult to scale.
