2013: Video Analytics In Homeland Security Market Surpassed $8.3 Billion
(Before It’s News) 6660576_m feature Video Analytics in Homeland Security & Public Safety Global Markets Surpassed $8.3B in 2013 According to the Intelligent Video Surveillance, ISR & Video Analytics: Technologies & Global Market – 2013-2020 report, the rapid market growth is driven by the following dynamics: Increased use of video surveillance Migration from analog to digital and IP-based cameras Migration from labor intensive video surveillance to computer automated (and semi-automated) video surveillance Technology maturity: Video analytics algorithms, processors, applications and products underwent a decade of technological evolution to intelligent video processing, based on advancements in image processing, enabling automatic detection and identification of signatures. Cost reduction of video analytic systems: driven by the falling prices of image processing DSPs and communication systems. Improved cost-performance of new edge-based video analytics DSP technologies (e.g., Intel & Texas Instruments DSPs) iHLS – Israel Homeland Security video2014_980x200 Human operators entail high cost & high rate of overlooked events: Real time analysis of video images and recorded footage is a need that can hardly be answered effectively by human operators due to manpower costs. Furthermore, human operators fatigue and boredom cause a high rate of overlooked events. IVS, ISR and VA process trillions of video surveillance-hours annually: By 2012, over 200 million video surveillance cameras (including ISR cameras) deployed worldwide captured 1.6 trillion video-hours. Growing at a CAGR of 9-11%, captured video surveillance is forecasted to reach approximately 3.3 trillion video-hours in 2020. A hypothetical analysis assuming that 20% of the most critical video […]

New Generation 960H Cams: Looks Better, Works Better, And Less Noisy
Source: Alf Chang | Date: 12/11/2013 Related tags: 960H solution , Cameras , SONY , Next Chip , R&D When the first 960H cameras were introduced, problems with displays and DVR decoders led critics to dismiss the technology as a fad. However, with chipmakers like Sony and Nextchip investing heavily in R&D, as well as hard work from China, Korea and Taiwan manufacturers, 960H has improved significantly. In contrast to the D1(720×480@30fps) resolution of older analog signals, the new batch of 960H products not only improve on image quality, they also feature WDR, higher SNR and better color reproduction. Three Major Leaps The new generation of 960H products improves in three areas: digital noise reduction, wide dynamic range and color reproduction. Digital Noise Reduction The new DSPs provide higher performance, allowing camera manufacturers to develop cameras that produce resolutions higher than 700TVL. Furthermore, the new processors enable more effective digital noise reduction through 2D and 3D noise processing, raising the SNR higher than 52dB. Wide Dynamic Range Newer 960H cameras also feature better WDR performance. Cameras powered by Sony’s Effio-V can capture clear images even in environments with high-contrast lighting or backlight situations. The new 960H cameras’ better backlight compensation and effective exposure result in better WDR performance with or without image enhancements. Color Reproduction Color reproduction is a strong advantage for 960H cameras. Sony, Pixelplus and Nextchip introduced DSPs that improve image sensors’ color performance and reproduction even further. To see the latest advancements in 960H video surveillance […]
