An edge computing system is deployed at a physical location and receives an input from one or more image/video sensing mechanisms. The edge computing system executes artificial intelligence image/video processing modules on the received image/video streams and generates metrics by performing spatial analysis on the images/video stream. The metrics are provided to a multi-tenant service computing system where additional artificial intelligence (AI) modules are executed on the metrics to execute perception analytics. Client applications can then be run on the output of the AI modules in the multi-tenant service computing system.
