PureTech Video Analytics Examined

Author: Brian Karas, Published on Apr 21, 2017

PureTech's analytics were chosen for a US border protection system (see related post), which the company claims no other analytics vendor was able to meet the requirements for. PureTech is using deep learning techniques in portions of their products, and claiming the ability to detect targets at ranges up to 7 kilometers with higher-end FLIR cameras.

In this report we examine PureTech's technology, market strategy, and pricing in comparison to other analytics providers.
