Application Logic
Description
Personal data privacy and protection is to be considered when collecting, analysing and viewing data.
Collect images from different angles as they will have a different purpose.
Ensure all relevant data is sent to the Enterprise data store to be provided selectively to different AI models.
Description
All AI (ML and MV) models will be developed through a joint effort of SME and data scientists.
Development of these models will be iterative (will require time) to achieve an appropriate quality level.
There will be multiple MV models as passengers will be tracked for various reasons.
Both MV and ML models developed will be operating to provide visibility e.g. people flow, system flow, sales transactions, etc.
Description
MV and ML models can be developed to provide insights such as stock vs shelf levels vs sales levels, could include environmental information such as time of day/year, weather, seasonal celebrations, etc.
Most of the time series data will most likely not be time-critical, therefore the data will be are cloud-based.
Expected benefits
5G (optimised over 4G) will enable real-time perspective
Increase sales through targeted promotions and campaigns based on passenger spending behavior
Able to plan and forecast purchase trends to ensure stock availability
