Beamr Reports Entering PoCs in Video Data Compression Solution for Autonomous Vehicle
Herzliya, Israel, July 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beamr Imaging Ltd. (NASDAQ: BMR), a leader in video optimization technology and solutions, today announced a further update on its progress of validating Beamr content-adaptive, GPU-accelerated technology to the autonomous vehicles market following the initial successful launch of the Beamr solution for autonomous vehicles. Over the past few months, Beamr engaged in multiple Proof of Concepts (PoCs) with autonomous vehicles system developers. Some of these PoCs were successful in further validating Beamr's contribution to the autonomous vehicles (AV) industry. The Beamr solution for autonomous vehicles demonstrates that it is not just keeping the visual quality of the video being perceptually identical to a human viewer, but also keeps the Machine Learning (ML) results stable to the extent that using video compression with Beamr Content-Adaptive Bitrate technology (CABR) yields 20%-50% saving on video used in the training process of such autonomous vehicles' ML model without compromising the model's results. 'We are encouraged by the progress that we have made so far with our AV offering, which has already been proven with successful PoCs with AV systems developers. We believe that this indicates the use of Beamr technology is indeed applicable to such fast growing markets, like the AV market.' said Sharon Carmel, founder and CEO of Beamr In the development of autonomous driving, video is the dominant data type. A single vehicle produces terabytes of video data daily. Training a single autonomous model may require tens to hundreds of petabytes, which is a costly challenge for autonomous vehicles and machine learning teams and which requires managing video data at scale, long-term storage and significant infrastructure investment.

Opinion: Alberta passenger rail projects are in national interest
Article content Recent announcements by the province and the federal government bring us closer than ever to making passenger rail service from Calgary International Airport to downtown and onward to Banff a reality. These are no longer long-term dreams; they are shovel-ready projects that meet criteria for designation as national interest projects under Canada's newly passed Building Canada Act. Article content Article content Article content The plan aligns with Calgary's Airport Rail Connection Study, released in January, which calls for a seamless 'one-seat ride' from the airport to a Grand Central Station in the Rivers District via the CPKC rail corridor. This connection, referred to as CADE (Calgary Airport-Downtown Express), complements the CABR (Calgary Airport-Banff Rail) proposal, which would connect key communities in the Bow Valley, including Cochrane, Mînî Thnî (Kananaskis), Canmore and Banff. Article content Article content At the federal level, the passage of Bill C-5 on June 26 is a game-changer. The Building Canada Act expedites federal reviews for infrastructure deemed to be in the national interest, shifting the focus from whether a project should proceed to how it will be built. Railways, as well as pipelines, as promoted by Premier Danielle Smith, are explicitly included, and Alberta now has an opportunity to act quickly and secure federal designation for CADE and CABR, unlocking faster approvals and potential investment. Article content These projects check all the boxes: Article content CABR is already backed by Liricon Capital and Plenary Americas, and has secured an assignable memorandum of understanding with CPKC, critical private-sector momentum that supports a P3 delivery model, for which the province has expressed interest. The infrastructure bank has previously pledged support for CABR and is actively seeking financially sustainable, clean-growth infrastructure opportunities.

Article content Recent announcements by the province and the federal government bring us closer than ever to making passenger rail service from Calgary International Airport to downtown and onward to Banff a reality. These are no longer long-term dreams; they are shovel-ready projects that meet criteria for designation as national interest projects under Canada's newly passed Building Canada Act. Article content Article content The Alberta government's Passenger Rail Master Plan Update, released in late June, confirms the overwhelming public mandate for action: 91 per cent of Albertans want passenger rail operational by 2030, and 80 per cent support provincial investment in its development. Article content Article content Through consultations with more than 20,000 residents, the plan identifies Calgary to Edmonton and Calgary to Banff as backbone routes for future regional rail networks — that could reduce congestion, boost tourism, lower emissions, support housing affordability, and create jobs.

Beamr to Launch GPU-Accelerated Video Compression Solution for Autonomous Vehicles at NVIDIA GTC Paris
Beamr's technology, designed for autonomous vehicles and machine learning workflows, enables up to 50% reduction in video storage without compromising model fidelity or visual quality Herzliya, Israel, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beamr Imaging Ltd. (NASDAQ: BMR), a leader in video optimization technology and solutions, today announced it will launch a high-performance, high-quality video compression solution designed for autonomous vehicles at NVIDIA GTC Paris, taking place June 10-12, 2025, as part of Viva Technology 2025, Europe's biggest startup and tech event. In the development of autonomous driving, video is the dominant data type. A single vehicle produces terabytes of video data daily, and training a single autonomous model may require tens to hundreds of petabytes. Beamr's proprietary technology, with a proven track record in high-efficiency video compression trusted by global media players, now addresses a pressing, costly challenge for autonomous vehicles and machine learning teams: managing video data at scale, including long-term storage and the significant infrastructure investment required. Beamr's Content-Adaptive Bitrate (CABR) technology, built on NVIDIA accelerated computing, reduces real-world autonomous driving and synthetic video file sizes by up to 50%. This is achieved while preserving visual quality and critical visual features essential for training autonomous driving models. By addressing key storage, compute, and bandwidth constraints in AI pipelines, it significantly reduces operational costs. Video capturing for autonomous driving models starts with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), recording real-world driving footage ingested into data centers, where video volumes scale rapidly. Yet, real-world data alone is insufficient for training models that must perform reliably across a wide spectrum of scenarios, including rare edge cases. To address this, a vast amount of synthetic video is generated by platforms such as NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Cosmos™ world foundation models, helping to amplify training data. 'Autonomous vehicle companies are under mounting pressure from rising video storage demands and infrastructure costs,' said Sharon Carmel, Beamr CEO. 'Our content-adaptive technology, accelerated by GPUs, delivers highly efficient compression while maintaining visual quality across a variety of scenarios - both for human perception and machine vision, and in both real-world and synthetic video.' In recent benchmark testing on raw driving footage using real-time object detection models, Beamr's CABR achieved compression rates equivalent to the highest-quality compression common in the industry. It maintains high detection accuracy, preserving even fine visual details, demonstrating practically no impact on machine learning performance, while enabling up to 50% savings. All GTC Paris attendees interested in Beamr's solutions for scalable, high-quality video solutions are invited to schedule a meeting with Beamr's video experts team.
