Eyedea has announced a collaboration with Thales Sentinel, enabling Eyedea to deploy and protect its AI-powered visual recognition software for customers worldwide. Thales Sentinel is the world’s leading software monetization and protection platform. This move will allow Eyedea customers worldwide to benefit from enhanced software protection and more flexible licensing options.
Eyedea, established in 2006 by a research group from the Czech Technical University in Prague’s Centre for Machine Perception, specializes in AI visual recognition technology. Their software can classify vehicle makes, models, number plates, and train carriage numbers and perform tasks such as recognizing distracted drivers, seatbelt use, and counting passengers from CCTV footage. Eyedea’s technology complies with GDPR and other data protection laws by making human factors and vehicle license plates unidentifiable.
Eyedea enhances AI software security
Customers integrate Eyedea’s software into existing hardware via software development kits (SDKs), with security ensured through Thales Sentinel licenses on hardware keys. This setup helps prevent unauthorized access and tampering.
The partnership allows Eyedea to offer flexible licensing options, including a free three-month trial that can transition to a one-year license, accommodating various customer needs. Eyedea’s clientele includes notable international and national police organizations such as Interpol, Europol, and the Czech Police, emphasizing the security and reliability of their technology. As Eyedea continues to pioneer visual recognition technology, this partnership marks a significant step in ensuring the security and monetization of its software.
By leveraging Thales Sentinel’s platform, Eyedea aims to bolster the defenses of its AI technology against piracy and unauthorized use while enabling efficient distribution to a broader audience.
