Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) is defined as "a global, immersive, invisible, ambient networked computing environment built through the continued proliferation of smart sensors, cameras, software, databases and massive data centers in a world-spanning information fabric."While the IoT will encompass thousands of devices and show up in a variety of forms, video plays a prominent role in various market and applications such as automotive, drone, surveillance, retail, robots, and VR/AR.Video IoTs drive technology innovation and fusion for the applications aforementioned. This talk gives some examples of the fusion applications and the technical trend for video IoT from the industrial perspective.
