Beamr to Demonstrate Video Data Processing for Resilient AV Models at Smart Mobility Summit

Herzliya, Israel, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beamr Imaging Ltd. (NASDAQ:BMR), a leader in video optimization technology and solutions, today announced that it will demonstrate its ML-safe video data stack for autonomous vehicles (AV) at Smart Mobility Summit 2026, held from May 17–18 at Expo Tel Aviv.

Beamr's recent research shows how AV and machine vision teams can rely on compression as an asset that strengthens ML model resilience. The research extends Beamr's video data stack, enabling AV teams to preserve ML accuracy with the advantages of reducing storage and networking costs across the model pipeline. In contrast, conventional compression methods force AV teams, managing tens to hundreds of petabytes of video data, into a trade-off between storage and networking efficiency and ML model integrity.

In Beamr's recent research, Depth Anything V2, a state-of-the-art monocular depth estimation model, was trained on video data compressed with Beamr's technology, which delivered 35.2% file-size reduction relative to baseline compression. The model demonstrated 30.7% reduction in depth estimation error on vulnerable road users (VRUs), including pedestrians and motorcyclists, and 16.0% aggregate reduction across all object classes.

This research extends Beamr's ML-Safe benchmarks across the AV pipeline, which validated up to 50% file size reduction while preserving object detection with less than 2% difference in ML model accuracy. Testing for a world foundation model pipeline showed 41%–57% file size reduction with no measurable impact on captioning workflow outputs.

"AV and machine vision teams no longer have to carry the full cost of uncompressed data. Our AV video data stack adds significant robustness to the model and makes it ML-safe," said Beamr CEO, Sharon Carmel. "By using video data compressed with Beamr's patented technology for training a depth model, we showcase that compression can become an enabler for machine vision models to perform better than models trained on uncompressed data."

Beamr's Content-Adaptive Bitrate (CABR) technology analyzes each frame and adjusts compression to preserve the visual cues ML models depend on. CABR integrates into existing AV pipelines through SDK or FFmpeg plugin, runs on GPUs, ingests any input format, and outputs in industry-standard codecs - AVC, HEVC, and AV1.
