Milestone announces NVIDIA-driven platform that trains AI models on video data

Milestone Systems, a global data-driven video technology and analytics provider, has announced Project Hafnia, a project designed to democratise AI model training by providing access to high-quality, accurate, reliable and compliant video data. Milestone Systems owns and manages the platform. 

Leveraging NVIDIA Cosmos Curator and AI model fine-tuning microservices, Project Hafnia aims to address a dearth of accurate and reliable video data to train visual AI models. Data owners and generators will be able to share and utilise their data while developers can access traceable and regulatory-compliant annotated video data.

With Project Hafnia, Milestone Systems will offer two services: a service providing data for AI model training with high-quality video data through training-as-a-service, and a new visual language model (VLM)-as-a-service for smart city transportation and intelligent traffic service use cases.

The VLM’s accuracy and performance optimisations are tuned for running on NVIDIA GPUs and in NVIDIA’s video search and summarisation (VSS) AI blueprint. It relies on a large volume of compliant transportation data that is curated using NVIDIA Cosmos Curator. The model supports a range of use cases, including general traffic assessments, driving condition evaluations, alert validation, and incident reporting.

“By leveraging the NVIDIA platform, Milestone Systems is helping accelerate this next wave of powerful visual services,” said Deepu Talla, NVIDIA VP and GM — Embedded and Edge Computing. 

“The next phase in development and adoption of visually perceptive agentic AI services will be unlocked by recipes like NVIDIA VSS blueprint combined with widely available and accessible finetuned VLM models.”

Milestone Systems is aggregating compliant data through its global network of partners and customers in video data management. These organisations seek to leverage their own data to develop smarter analytics and will be able to benefit from the platform.

“Artificial intelligence is our generation’s biggest game-changer. A major challenge for the ongoing development is having access to enough high-quality data for training AI models. The Project Hafnia platform will collect and curate data with the aspiration to be the world's smartest, fastest and responsible platform for video data and training of AI models,” said Thomas Jensen, CEO of Milestone Systems. 

Project Hafnia is also expected to speed up developing AI and analytics – up to 30x faster than today’s standards. With new high-quality data and improved annotation, future analytic software for applications such as traffic management, manufacturing, airports, law enforcement, and business could achieve accuracy high enough to enable a new level of large-scale, automated operations and surveillance.

Project Hafnia is initially launching as a pilot that will initially focus on video data from traffic with plans to broaden the scope once fully live. Developers can sign up for early access at https://hafnia.milestonesys.com/joinwaitlist
