Development of a Real-Time Edge AI Platform for SmartCone's vision and data streaming-based IoT applications

该提议的目标是为华为在物联网领域基于人工智能的应用程序构建一个软件开发环境：Real-Time Edge AI平台。该平台的新奇之处在于，它将帮助创建具有本地智能(Edge AI)的实时应用程序，这些应用程序完全自主，不需要与云服务器连接。为了指导和验证平台的设计，我们还制作了三个应用程序的原型，这些应用程序在平台完成的不同阶段使用该平台：“脆弱道路使用者的智能安全”、“工作场所的智能安全”和“情景感知和理解”。我们的应用研究方法是将敏捷软件开发与“信息系统中的设计科学研究”方法论相结合，其中的研究成果是一个人工产物(Real-Time Edge AI平台和3个应用程序)。

The objective of this proposal is to prototype a software development environment for SCTI's Artificial Intelligence-based applications in the Internet of Things domain: the Real-Time Edge AI Platform. What is novel about this Platform is that it will help create real-time applications with local intelligence (Edge AI), which are completely autonomous and do not require connectivity with a Cloud server. In order to guide and validate the design of the Platform, we are also prototyping 3 Applications which use the Platform during its different stages of completion: "Intelligent Safety of Vulnerable Road Users", "Intelligent Safety for work sites", and "Situational Awareness & Understanding". Our approach to applied research is to combine Agile software development with the "Design Science Research in Information Systems" methodology, where the research outcome is an artifact (the Real-Time Edge AI Platform and the 3 Applications).
