Gradiant joins NVIDIA Metropolis to boost its vision AI solutions

Spanish innovation provider will accelerate its video analytics developments with the latest advances in AI to deliver real-time bird identification and classification

Gradiant today announced it has joined NVIDIA Metropolis, a partner program focused on bringing to market a new generation of vision AI applications. NVIDIA Metropolis nurtures a rich ecosystem and offers powerful developer tools to supercharge vision AI applications that are designed to make the world’s most important spaces and operations safer and more efficient.

Through its Bird Detection solution, Gradiant can provide real-time identification and classification of birds in open spaces such as onshore and offshore wind farms, airports, and other natural scenarios, contributing to increased safety for avian species in multiple environments.

Gradiant will use NVIDIA technologies to help advance its AI-driven video analytics know-how for automated bird detection and classification. The processing of the solution’s algorithms is done on the edge, using the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform. Gradiant also uses NVIDIA DeepStream SDK to improve the throughput of the video streaming pipeline and NVIDIA TensorRT to improve the performance of its ML algorithms.

Powerful AI-enabled solutions

NVIDIA Metropolis makes it easier and more cost-effective for enterprises, governments, and integration partners to use powerful AI-enabled solutions that improve critical operational efficiency and help address safety problems. The NVIDIA Metropolis ecosystem contains a large and growing breadth of members who are investing in the most advanced AI techniques and most efficient deployment platforms and using an enterprise-class approach to their solutions. Members can gain early access to NVIDIA platform updates to further enhance and accelerate their AI application development efforts. Further, the program offers the opportunity for members to collaborate with industry-leading experts and other AI-driven organizations.

Luis Perez Freire, Gradiant’s executive director, describes the collaboration with NVIDIA as “a new milestone that positions our organization again on the international stage by adding value to the vision AI ecosystem.” He also describes it “as an opportunity for further improving and accelerating our developments in AI applications through access to the latest developments and solutions from NVIDIA.”

Ultimately, this collaboration will help Gradiant position itself at the forefront of innovation in the AI sector and continue to advance its technology at a pivotal time for AI adoption
