CVOps is best enabled by specialty software that securely and reliably manages the “learning loop” of data collection, AI updates, deployment, and monitoring.
Past solutions in AI based Computer Vision needed immense compute infrastructure and had to execute in the cloud. These systems required exponentially more data and computing power to accurately address the diversity of the real world.
Technology trends of Edge Deployment and Ensemble AI were created to address the issue of AI bloat – but they also created new challenges in the logistics of matching data and AI to the cameras and use cases.
CVOps describes the enterprise business process, job role, and enabling tools for delivering Computer Vision in production.
A reliable, accurate CV system needs to collect data to deal with factors like “Data Drift” and “Model Drift,” and to deliver software updates that adapt to the changing physical world. CVOps delivers the correct Computer Vision to the correct camera at the correct time.

By downloading or using the Xailient SDK (the “SDK”) or using the Xailient Cloud
Platform, you and, if applicable, the company or entity that you represent (collectively, “you” or “your”) are consenting to
be bound by and are becoming a party to this SDK License Agreement (“Agreement”) with Xailient, Inc.
(“Xailient”). If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other entity, you hereby
represent and warrant that you are authorized and lawfully able to bind such company or entity that
you represent to this Agreement. If you do not have such authority or do not agree to all of the terms
of this Agreement, you may not download or use the SDK.
Agreement relates. Any breach of this Agreement by you would cause irreparable injury to Xailient for
which no adequate remedy at law exists, and you agree that equitable remedies, including injunctive relief
and specific performance, are appropriate remedies to redress any such breach or threatened breach, in
addition to all other remedies available. As used herein, “including” means “including without limitation”.
Schedule A: Data Sharing Agreement
Xailient provides a computer vision platform that incorporates machine learning techniques. To take full
advantage of Xailient technology, customers need to train models specific to them. This requires
customers to provide Xailient with their data. Xailient recognizes that data is a critical asset of our
customers, and is being shared with us for the specific purpose of providing the Customer with service.
Xailient uses a combination of Customer Training Data and Xailient Training Data fed into a Training
Process to create Customer Training Output.
Xailient uses the Customer Training Output and other systems to deliver Xailient Products and/or
Services. After training, the use of Xailient Products and/or Services takes place in Runtime. Use by the
Customer may create Customer Runtime Data.
The following are authorizations granted to Xailient and restrictions placed on Xailient:
1. Xailient will use Customer Training Data to train algorithms (Customer Training Outputs) that are
delivered to the Customer or are run by Xailient to deliver services to the Customer.
2. Xailient will not deliver Customer Training Outputs to third parties, nor use Customer Training
Outputs to provide Xailient Products and/or Services to third parties without the express written
consent of the Customer.
3. Xailient will not use Customer Training Data for any purpose other than to deliver products or
services to the Customer, however,
4. Xailient may use meta-data about the Customer Training Data to improve Xailient Products
and/or Services, or to deliver service to the Customer. This meta-data about Customer Training
Data includes but is not limited to:
1. Information about the size and number of images used in the Training Process,
2. Information about the number of classes (object types) and number of instances of
those classes used in the Training Process,
3. Information about the geometry of ground truth instances, such as size, overlap or
intersection with other ground truth instances,
4. Information about the frequency and correlations of ground truth instances,
5. The problem domain being solved by the Customer,
6. The contrast, brightness, average color depth, or other photometric properties,
7. For the avoidance of doubt, the image bitmap (jpeg, png, mpeg video, video frames etc.)
are not meta-data and are only used to deliver products or services to the Customer.
For example, the following would be an allowed use by Xailient:
Xailient uses the image resolutions, proportionate size of ground-truth
bounding boxes, number of classes, and number of images used to train the
Customer Training Output to estimate the number of images needed to train
a model in a different domain. Xailient then provides a third party with a
recommendation of the number of images they should share with Xailient.
5. Customers may opt-in to the collection of run-time images from the customer by Xailient.
Xailient will not use such Customer Runtime Data for any purpose other than to deliver products or
services to the Customer, for example to provide quality control monitoring to the Customer.
6. Xailient does collect meta-data about the Runtime performance of the Xailient Products and/or
Services. This Meta-data about Runtime includes:
a. The number of images or video frames inputted to the Xailient Products and/or Services,
b. The format, encoding, timestamps and series information of the input,
c. The contrast, brightness or average color depth of the input,
d. Statistics about the output of the Xailient Products and/or Services, including number of
frames with and without objects of interest, the frequency of detection, the geometry of
the detection, the size in bytes,
e. The configuration data of the running Xailient Products and/or Services,
f. Information about the Customer’s runtime environment including hardware and
software running in conjunction with Xailient Products and/or Services,
g. Memory, CPU utilization, persistent storage I/O statistics, network connectivity statistics
of the runtime environment,
h. For the avoidance of doubt, the image bitmap (jpeg, png, mpeg video, video frames etc.)
are not meta-data, and are only used to deliver products or services to the Customer (if
collected at all).
7. Xailient may use meta-data about the runtime performance of the Xailient Products and/or
Services to improve Xailient Products and/or Services, or to deliver service to the Customer.
8. Xailient may use meta-data in anonymized, aggregate form for marketing purposes.
For example, the following would be allowed uses by Xailient:
Xailient publically states that on average drone customers need a specified
number of images per class to train a Xailient Detectum™.
Xailient publically states that on average retail analytics customers save a
specified number of bytes per month in wireless data.
The following are restrictions placed on Customers
1. Customer will not install or run Xailient Products or Services without a Xailient License
Agreement.
2. Customer will use Customer Training Output(s) only for the purpose(s) outlined in the Xailient
License Agreement.
3. Customer will not attempt to reverse engineer the Customer Training Output(s) or Xailient
systems or methods.
4. Customer will not attempt to circumvent the Xailient Digital Rights Management or License.
5. Customer will not redistribute the Customer Training Output(s) to any third party except as
outlined in the Xailient License Agreement.
6. Customer will not grant access to Xailient Products or Services, nor provide their Customer
Credentials to any third party.
7. Customer will not use the Xailient technology in any manner that is discriminatory or in violation
of regulation or laws in the jurisdiction in which Customer operates the Xailient SDK or Xailient
Cloud Platform, nor will Customer upload images depicting nudity to the Xailient Cloud Platform.
