AI developers across the globe share the challenge of finding
sufficient high-quality, accurate and reliable video data to train
visual AI models. Today, Milestone Systems announces Project Hafnia
to build services and democratize AI-model training with
high-quality, compliant video data leveraging NVIDIA Cosmos Curator
and AI model, fine-tuning microservices
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 18,
2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Leveraging the NVIDIA
platform, Milestone Systems' Project Hafnia is aiming to be a
leading service for data generators, to share and utilize their
data, and for developers, to access traceable and
regulatory-compliant annotated video data.
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," says Thomas Jensen, CEO of
Milestone Systems.
Milestone's goal is to put the latest advances in Vision
Language Models (VLM) and supporting data curation capabilities in
the hands of as many developers as possible. One of the first
service offerings is a VLM, fine-tuned using NVIDIA fine-tuning
microservices on a large volume of compliant transportation data,
curated using NVIDIA Cosmos Curator.
The VLM's accuracy and performance optimizations are tuned for
running on NVIDIA GPUs and in NVIDIA's video search and
summarization (VSS) AI blueprint.
"By leveraging the NVIDIA platform, Milestone Systems is helping
accelerate this next wave of powerful visual services," says Deepu
Talla NVIDIA Vice President and General Manager — 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
fine-tuned VLM models," he says.
Access to data
Milestone Systems, a global leader in data-driven video technology
and analytics, is aggregating compliant data through its global
network of partners and customers in video data management. These
organizations seek to leverage their own data to develop smarter
analytics and will be able to benefit from the platform, which can
be utilized to train AI models on sufficient, compliant data.
"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," says
Thomas Jensen, CEO of Milestone
Systems.
Additionally, Project Hafnia will remove major friction points
and provide smooth and seamless access to data. Driven by NVIDIA
Cosmos Curator data curation, the service will speed up developing
AI and analytics – up to 30 times faster than today's
standards.
Accuracy and speed
Milestone Systems will offer two services:
- A cutting-edge service for AI model training with high-quality
video data through Training as a Service, where software developers
can access quality data to train AI-models
- A new Visual Language Model as a Service for smart city
transportation and Intelligent Traffic Service use-cases that will
be industry leading in performance.
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 large-scale automation of
operations and surveillance like never before.
Traffic Management VLM
By leveraging the NVIDIA platform, Milestone Systems has taken the
first step in developing a market leading traffic and
transportation Visual Language Model (VLM). The model supports a
range of use cases, including general traffic assessments, driving
condition evaluations, alert validation, and incident
report-ing.
Project Hafnia is initially launching as a pilot, with developers
having the opportunity to sign up for early access at
https://hafnia.milestonesys.com/joinwaitlist. The platform will
initially focus on video data from traffic with plans to broaden
the scope once fully live. Milestone Systems owns and manages the
platform.
