Helping businesses get back to normal
with computer vision

Our system applies artificial intelligence to effectively supervise the number of people in a given space.

With countries gradually restarting their activities, as businesses, we face great challenges to guarantee the safety of our clients and employees. As we all know, indoors is where most COVID-19 infections occur. So, at Metro, we want to support businesses, by simplifying social distancing control through artificial intelligence.

About Metro Live, our newest system

Metro Live, our newest computer vision system, is easy to deploy, has a reasonable price and applies artificial intelligence to effectively and automatically supervise the number of people in a given area. Additionally, the software system detects the distance between people, generating a social distancing index and alerting when it is not met.

Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision

Our systems process massive-scale images to identify objects of interest in different environments and collect real-time data in different environments and collect real-time anonymized data. At Metro, we integrate our systems to pre-existing cameras of our clients, saving additional hardware costs.

The areas are determined by the administrator, they are easily established as a digital perimeter over the images of pre-existing CCTV cameras. This configuration is done through Metro Live's dashboard, the user-interface of the product. The dashboard also displays the occupation status and sends immediate alerts when it detects an excess of people.

The benefits of integration

As is the case with most of our developments, the installation does not require costly hardware. Metro Live is a cloud solution and it integrates with pre-existing camera systems, saving our clients additional costs. We do, however, offer on-premise installation and provide cameras, if the client requires them.
With this software, we look forward to helping thousands of businesses, which have grown with grit and perseverance, to restart their engines. And to achieve this while protecting their employees and clients.
