Videmo Intelligente Videoanalyse GmbH und Co. KG
Videmo GmbH & Co. KG: Videmo was founded in the beginning of 2008 as a spin-off out of the Universität Karlsruhe’s research group Computer vision for HCI (http://isl.ira.uka.de/cvhci/). Videmo develops innovative software for intelligent video analysis, with a focus on applications related to security, customer monitoring and health-care. Application areas of our video analysis software include the automatic analysis of customer behavior, such as tracking the number, frequency and time of stay of customers, their paths and also their direction of gaze and attention.
