ASCII Tokyo Artisan Intelligence Co., Ltd. launched NIGIWAI, an AI crowd flow analysis solution for urban development. Developed from a demonstration experiment in Kitakyushu City, the software uses edge AI to analyze fixed-point camera footage in real time, quantifying behavior and attributes while protecting privacy by processing video on the camera terminal. It aims to reduce manual survey costs and provide objective data.
NIGIWAI identifies traffic volume, dwell time, and specific actions such as eating, drinking, and resting from fixed-point camera footage. The software uses edge AI to process video on the camera terminal, deleting it after analysis to protect passerby privacy. It was developed from a demonstration experiment in Kitakyushu City under the city's 'Prototype City' initiative. The company states the solution reduces manual survey costs by automating detection and aggregation.
