Swiss AI startup Lightly has introduced LightlyEdge, a data collection solution.
LightlyEdge captures the relevant data directly at the source. It intelligently resolves redundant data by filtering out unnecessary data at the point of capture, streamlining what enters storage and processing systems.
LightlyEdge employs smart models on vehicle cameras and sensors, analyzing video in real-time to automatically detect rare and significant events—such as a child near a crosswalk or an accident in snowy weather—while disregarding irrelevant data. This approach significantly reduces excess storage and bandwidth expenditures, ensuring that training datasets are more comprehensive, diverse, and aligned with real-world driving scenarios.
LightlyEdge builds on the foundations established by LightlyOne in data centers by bringing intelligence directly to vehicles’ edge devices. This enables developers to receive real-time feedback and enhance their AI models on the road, thereby accelerating the pace of innovation through a user-friendly interface that facilitates rapid deployment and continuous improvement.
