Locate the moments that matter most faster than ever with AI Visual Search in OpenEye Web Services (OWS). Instead of manually scrubbing through hours of footage or spending time configuring search filters, AI Visual Search lets you simply describe what you’re looking for and quickly returns the most relevant results. AI Visual Search combines advanced analytics and cloud intelligence to turn complex video review into a fast, intuitive experience any user can master.

NOTE: AI Visual Search is currently in beta. All beta requests must be directed through your OpenEye Sales Representative.

NOTE: AI Visual Search is only available with certain licensing tiers. See OWS Licensing for more information.
