FPT is enhancing its Intelligent Inspection Solution (I2), an AI-powered system tailored for smart city applications, leveraging the NVIDIA Metropolis framework and NVIDIA AI Blueprint for video search and summarization. Designed to support public asset assessment and utilization, I2 can be applied to various smart city infrastructures, such as traffic management, urban safety, and automated insurance processing. Its capability to process large volumes of video data makes it ideal for insurance companies, municipalities, and transport authorities aiming to improve efficiency and safety.
HANOI, Vietnam—Global IT leader FPT is elevating its Intelligent Inspection Solution (I2), an innovative AI-based system designed for smart city applications to support public asset assessment and utilization using the NVIDIA Metropolis framework and the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for video search and summarization.
Smart cities rely on complex infrastructure networks—roads, bridges, water, and energy systems—that sustain urban life. As cities expand and age, maintaining this vital infrastructure becomes increasingly challenging, outpacing traditional methods. With millions of public assets and infrastructure requiring constant oversight, the need for enhanced monitoring solutions has become increasingly urgent, especially in the face of natural disasters. These events cause widespread damage, disrupting infrastructure services and costing low and middle-income countries over $400 billion annually. Governments, responsible for a large share of public infrastructure, bear the burden of funding service recovery and rebuilding efforts.
FPT’s Intelligent Inspection (I2) helps address these challenges by automating the detection of asset degradation, vandalism, and safety hazards in real-time, enabling authorities to quickly gather precise data without needing on-site personnel. This automation optimizes resource allocation, reduces operational costs, and enhances the efficiency of asset management, helping governments respond swiftly and effectively to infrastructure issues, including post-disaster recovery.
Generative AI will transform perception-enabled industrial applications. I2 will now integrate expert AI Agents into its applications, meaning users will no longer be locked into rigid, set, pre-determined perception capabilities and interfaces. Built on NVIDIA Metropolis and NVIDIA AI Blueprints, I2 can integrate advanced vision language models (VLMs) and large language models (LLMs) to efficiently decode, analyze, and summarize video content. I2 leverages key components including the NVIDIA AI Blueprint’s stream handler for robust video input management, NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails software for helping ensure safe and accurate AI responses, and the CA-RAG (Contextual Answer Retrieval-Augmented Generation) module to extract and provide precise real-time insights from live streams or recorded footage. These components work together to enhance incident detection accuracy, enabling rapid analysis of large volumes of video data. Furthermore, the system supports parallel processing, allowing for faster insights across multiple video feeds, making it scalable and suitable for extensive city infrastructure.
Key Benefits Include:
- Real-Time Accident Detection & Damage Assessment: Faster and more accurate claim processing.
- Cost Efficiency: Reduced need for on-site inspections, optimizing workforce utilization.
- Better quality with NVIDIA AI Blueprint Integration: Enhanced video processing capabilities, seamless deployment, and parallel processing for faster insights.
- Accelerates time to solution: NVIDIA AI Blueprints eliminate months/years of development effort by removing the heavy lifting of using various models and NIM microservices together.
FPT’s Intelligent Inspection can be applied across various smart city infrastructures, including traffic management, urban safety, and automated insurance processing. Its ability to handle high volumes of video data makes it ideal for insurance companies, municipalities, and transport authorities looking to enhance efficiency and safety.
Looking ahead, FPT plans to continue enhancing its Intelligent Inspection Solution by leveraging NVIDIA technologies to further improve AI detection accuracy and minimize processing time, offering a new standard for smart city as well as industrial applications.
