South Korea-based InfinIQ unveiled retail innovation and autonomous driving technology at this month’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Its self-checkout AI Counter scans products without barcodes or with consistent shapes, such as bread, fruits and vegetables, and even completes calculations through its own app.

AI Counter is optimised for retail services and is attracting attention from global retail companies for 24-hour stores, unmanned stores and self-checkout counters. AI Counter was named a CES 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree in both the software and mobile apps and smart cities categories.

AI store Mealy is a retail concept that can be operated unmanned, round the clock using vision AI technology. This interactive concept allowed CES 2022 attendees to walk through a real store with groceries while AI Counter tallied up their purchases and an abnormal behaviour detection system monitored the behaviour of shoppers.

A three-year CES participant, InfinIQ also showed a data collection vehicle equipped with multi-sensors, including vision cameras, lidar and infra-red and thermal imaging to collect high-quality data for autonomous driving, using sensor fusion technology to process the data and increase accuracy.

Its AI data service platform MyCrowd builds high quality datasets for AI training. My Crowd applies AI technology to data processes, providing one-stop services for 2D and 3D data mapping, personal information anonymisation, 3D annotation, and data quality verification.

And its data anonymisation service Wellid processes visual data so they cannot be recognised. Sensitive personal information such as faces and number plates can be anonymised, crucial to comply with global privacy regulations such as GDPR, the AI Act, CCPA and CPRA.

“This is InfinIQ’s third consecutive CES and, judging by the enthusiastic response and deep interest from international businesses, this year will serve as an opportunity to expand our North American business and grow as a global company,” said InfinIQ CEO Park Jun-hyung. “We have extensive experience in supplying data to all fields of the artificial intelligence industry, and we are excited to broaden our partnerships and continue our cutting-edge innovations.”

InfinIQ specialises in autonomous driving data and AI in South Korea. Based on an ecosystem that integrates its Hex Vision technology and data service platform, it provides services in various fields such as autonomous driving, retail and securities. Founded in 2005, the company provides services based on high levels of information protection such as ISO 27001 and 27701.

The company has established a corporation in Luxembourg for European business and has started its WellID anonymisation service in Europe.
