About Mahesh Saptharishi
In a 2016 presentation, Mahesh Saptharishi, then Chief Technology Officer at Avigilon, discussed the company's Appearance Search technology, which he described as an artificial intelligence-driven system for video analysis. He argued that traditional video surveillance suffers from an "attention gap," noting that only 5% of recorded video is ever reviewed. Saptharishi stated that the goal of AI in this context is to filter out uninteresting content so that human attention can focus on important events. He described Appearance Search as a foundational step toward "site-wide intelligence," allowing users to search for an individual across all cameras in a facility rather than within a single camera's field of view. Saptharishi emphasized that the system is designed to be efficient and affordable for mainstream use, without requiring supercomputers or significant server costs)Skip.
