The application of artificial intelligence in the pig industry is relatively lagging behind. In other industries such as transportation, smart cities, and smart parks, many artificial intelligence technologies are already in use, but this was later used in the breeding industry. According to its disclosure, since last year, some large pig farming companies have approached Huawei to seek joint creation and authorization.
In addition, Duan also revealed that pig face recognition was not developed by Huawei. Huawei provides pre-training development models and object recognition. As for the object, it may identify pigs or cows. ?Some partners identify rare animals based on our pre-trained models. Some customers said that one hundred rare birds were identified in one place, and the birds were identified by flying to the lake, and how many rare and protected animals were sent to the Agriculture Bureau. ?
Duan said that cloud services are not cloud technologies, but cloud services. Deployed on Huawei's public cloud, but was previously a boxed product. In addition, I hope that the business model of cloud services will also change, and it will be more about selling cloud services, just like buying a one-year annual pass.
Duan said that at present, China's industry has traditionally produced industry videos, such as Hikvision, Dahua and many other manufacturers, including Hetiandi. They have been making industry videos for more than ten years and have a relatively deep understanding of it. This Huawei is in the catching-up stage, but they may lack Huawei's strong cloud basic capabilities and underlying accumulation capabilities in AI. The biggest difference is that we are doing something on the shoulders of giants.
Duan, President of Huawei's Machine Vision Division, said on his personal social platform at the end of February this year that Huawei launched the "Smart Pig Farming Plan". The entire pig raising system supports "pig face recognition", which can realize full-sensor monitoring, robot inspection and automatic remote control to "supervise" the growth process of pigs. The reason why smart pigs have become so popular is because the pig industry is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and the application of artificial intelligence lags behind other fields. On the evening of March 4, Huawei told reporters including CBN at a media conference that Huawei would not raise pigs on its own. Currently, this is a scenario where the machine vision business line is implemented.
Last year, Huawei Intelligent Security officially changed its name to machine vision, and Huawei is regarded as a potential competitor of Hikvision, the traditional security leader.
On the one hand, a large part of Hikvision's chips are provided by Huawei HiSilicon. The supply of chips is considered by the outside world to be an uncertain factor inhibiting the development of Hikvision.
In the strategic direction announced by Huawei at the time, it was hoped that Huawei's machine vision would expand from the security field to the people's livelihood field, and then to the electric power, hydraulic power, oil fields, manufacturing and other industries. Huawei believes that 65% of digital information in the industry comes from video, and the in-depth integration of machine vision with life, entertainment, communications, production, and security will be a huge market worth billions of dollars.
