IBM EVS - Computer Vision Models







ASC- Empowers IBM Power11 Users to upgrade/ integrate Video Analytics with Core Fusion AI Functionalities. ASC provides IBM Power 11 Users with Free EVS software and Deployment Assistance.



 Open Source Video Analytics Layer: developers and researchers add to help computers "see" and "understand" visual data through different specialized tasks: Allows Power11 Users to integrate with or without Cloud.  IBM EVS Power 11 systems can communicate utilizing both MMA and GPU micro-processing.

  • YOLO (You Only Look Once): Primarily used for real-time object detection, which means it identifies and draws bounding boxes around objects in images or videos.
  • SAM (Segment Anything Model): Developed by Meta, this is a foundation model used for image segmentation, allowing users to cut out or isolate any specific object within an image with a single click.
  • RelateAnything: An extension built on top of models like SAM, used for relationship detection or scene graph generation, which helps identify how different objects in an image interact with or relate to one another.

IBM Equitus Video Sentinel (EVS) and the ARCXA Engine are available natively on IBM Power11 infrastructure transforms standard camera networks into intelligent, compliant, and event-aware systems. By unifying multi-mode computer vision (YOLO, SAM, RelateAnything) with enterprise asset management (like IBM Maximo), organizations can automate situational awareness while maintaining strict regulatory frameworks (such as HIPAA, NERC CIP, and CJIS).


 IBM  EVS Power11 Systems Users Achieve This Integration: Turn existing cameras into Intelligen Ingestion System. IBM EVS is available for Free on Power11 and Equitus Automation Engineers are available for Deployment Assistance. 


1. Native Real-Time Video Ingestion & Multi-Mode AI Execution


  • RTSP Ingestion & Frame Indexing: EVS connects directly to existing analog or digital RTSP camera streams without requiring a complete hardware rip-and-replace. Every frame is auto-indexed and analyzed locally.



  • Advanced Computer Vision Stack: Instead of relying on rigid, single-purpose motion detection, EVS leverages multi-mode AI models:

    • YOLO (You Only Look Once): Provides high-speed, real-time object detection for perimeters, intruders, vehicles, and safety hazards.

    • SAM (Segment Anything Model) & RelateAnything: Enable precise zero-shot segmentation and relationship mapping between objects, contextualizing what an object is and how it interacts with its environment.


2. Attribute-Level Security & Compliance (ICAM & Data Fusion)


  • Granular Access Control: Running on IBM Power11, the platform enforces identity-aware, attribute-level access management directly on individual RDF graph nodes and predicates.

  • Regulatory Alignment: For environments bound by HIPAA (healthcare privacy), NERC CIP (critical infrastructure), or CJIS (law enforcement), EVS logs all video events locally with tamper-evident tracking. This ensures that unauthorized personnel cannot view sensitive camera feeds or derived metadata, satisfying stringent audit requirements.


3. Enterprise Integration via the ARCXA Engine and IBM Maximo Connect


  • Multi-Model Orchestration: ARCXA acts as the semantic mapping and orchestration layer, translating siloed data into a unified 3-column Subject-Predicate-Object (SPO) knowledge graph. It exposes a unified query interface supporting federated SPARQL, GraphQL, and SQL execution.

  • Maximo Bridge: When EVS detects an anomaly or a specific object via YOLO/SAM (e.g., unauthorized access to a restricted substation, an unshielded medical hazard, or equipment overheating), the ARCXA engine maps this visual event straight into structured operational schemas.

  • Automated Workflows: Through this pipeline, a visual trigger instantly communicates with IBM Maximo, automatically generating work orders, triggering maintenance tickets, or notifying security operators with deep forensic context (such as exact timestamps, object attributes, and multi-camera movement history).



4. "Service as Software" Deployment & Interconnection


  • Equitus packages deployment and support as a Service as Software model.

  • Technical teams assist in mapping out legacy camera infrastructure, normalizing stream protocols, and configuring policy constraints so that organizations can securely bridge physical security feeds into high-governance enterprise systems on IBM Power systems seamlessly.
