Edge Computing is a concept of deploying IT workloads to local, decentralized edge devices. Opposed to run IT workloads centrally in the cloud, a decentralized edge computing approach enables lower latencies and reduces bandwidth usage.

Empty shelf detection refers to the process of identifying and addressing gaps or unstocked areas on retail shelves. This technique is crucial for maintaining optimal inventory levels and ensuring that products are available to customers when they want to make a purchase.

Event management is the process of planning, organizing, and executing events such as conferences, festivals, concerts, corporate gatherings, or social celebrations.

Event security encompasses the strategies and protocols implemented to safeguard participants, staff, and property during an event.

The Free Flow Speed (FFS) is the average vehicle speed measured during low-volume periods under favorable conditions including good weather, no road works or traffic incidents.

FOD is any object, live or not, located in an inappropriate location in the airport environment that has the capacity to injure airport or air carrier personnel and damage aircraft. Common examples include stones, nuts, bolts, trash and even birds.‍

FPS refers to the number of individual frames or images captured by a camera in one second. It is the standard unit to measure frame rate.

Facial Recognition (FR) is a video analytics function that matches people by their face with a reference image. Facial recognition is used in access control and investigations.

Fall Detection in Video Analytics is a function that automatically detects when people fall in video streams.

False alarms refer to instances where an alarm system or warning mechanism is triggered without the presence of an actual threat or emergency.

Fare evasion refers to the act of passengers avoiding payment for fares, resulting in revenue loss and undermining the integrity of the systems.

Fire Detection in Video Analytics is a function that automatically detects fire from a video or video stream.

A Fisheye Camera or 360° Camera has an ultra wide angle lens creating a wide panoramic or hemispherical image. Through dewarping the image can be rectified.

Footfall is the number of people going into a shop or business during a particular period of time. Footfall data can help to measure the effect of marketing campaigns or architectural changes.

Footfall cameras are optical sensors equipped with computer vision software to measure people flow.

A Footfall Counter is a device measuring footfall inside retail stores. Store traffic counters can be realized using different technologies such as light beams, infrared, stereo-cameras, WiFi, Bluetooth or security cameras with video analytics.

A footfall counting system, also known as a people counting system, is a technology used to measure the number of individuals entering or exiting a particular area or premises.

Frame rate is a characteristic of a videostream. It measures the frequency at which the stream receives new frames. The unit in which the frame rate is expressed is typically Frames Per Second (FPS).

Fraud detection is an essential process aimed at identifying and preventing fraudulent activities, such as unauthorized financial transactions, falsified insurance claims, and identity theft.

Full-HD or 1080p is an image resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixel. Which is equivalent to approximately 2 MP.

GDPR is a strict EU privacy law governing data handling and protection. It standardizes data protection laws across the EU.

A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is an electronic circuit designed for highly parallelized computations. GPUs are efficient in processing images, computer graphics and neural networks used in AI.

A Ground Power Unit (GPU) is a mobile or stationary device which is used to provide electrical power to aircraft while they are on the ground. Switching of the on-board APU results in a decrease in airport noise and emissions.

Generative AI (GenAI) is a type of machine learning that creates new content, such as text, images, and audio.

Georeferencing is a process wherein image coordinates can be aligned with a geographic coordinate system. Georefencing allows to obtain the GPS position and speed of objects from a video stream.
