(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 […]

Store Mannequins With RFID Tracking Now Recording Everything You Do

Posted by dtaitano 2:57 pm Categories: Video Analytics. Tags: , , , .

A well-dressed, picture-perfect  mannequin  stands still in a middle of a department store. She looks like any other life-size figure you’ve seen,  except she can see and hear you . It has cameras for eyes, audio recording capabilities, an embedded computer to analyze shoppers’ faces, and a modem to upload the data to a server. Called the EyeSee Mannequin , it’s meant to provide more data to retailers and department stores about shoppers, says its creator. “The EyeSee can tell if a shopper is male or female, his or her age range, how much time you spent looking at it and its outfit,” Max Catanese, the CEO of Almax, told ABC News. The EyeSee can also tell the ethnicity of shoppers. The goal, as you might assume, is for stores to know more about who is shopping and looking at the displays. How long you looked at one mannequin versus others, how many types of shoppers come into the store, etc. Video Store Mannequins With RFID Tracking Now Recording Everything You Do “The potential is huge. A store can really know who their client is. Let’s say you have eight floors and six floors are for women and two are for men, but you find out 80 percent of the shoppers are male. You want to change the ratio and switch it,” Catanese said. The computer inside the mannequin captures data about each of the shoppers it sees and then uploads that to a portal, so that the store can […]

VideoIQ: Demystifying Self-Learning Video Analytics

Posted by dtaitano 11:34 pm Categories: Video Analytics. Tags: , , , , , .

Source: VideoIQ | Date: 11/13/2013 Related tags: VideoIQ , Video analytics When speaking of animate vision it is also referred to as response driven learning process where the lessons are learnt from others, learning through corrections and feedback, the more interactions with “teachers”, the faster the learning process. Response and feedback can also come from interactions with the environment. The typical example of a hot stove or a thorn, by injury it is identified as a mistake. Whether through concepts from bootstrap process or from response process, the learning process is continuous. When an object is “seen”, there is a complex and sophisticated neural network that is continuously learning behind the scenes that enables the gift of sight to be taken for granted. VideoIQ introduces the B.R.A.I.N model which will enable cameras that are programmed to mimic this neural network model, which “learns” through interactions with the environment. When a camera is first powered on, its field of view is new and unfamiliar, much like humans in an unfamiliar environment, instinctively attempts to identify everything that seems recognizable in form or function, overtime becoming familiar with the environment recognizing placement. Thus if additional items were to appear in the line of vision, the camera might first classify it as a suspicious object. However should the item be still in the environment over a period of time, the camera will “learn” that it is where it belongs, overriding the initial placement of items. Not only does it “remember” or “learn” […]

Bosch license plate recognition functionality within the Video Management System (VMS) Product Image Bosch license plate recognition functionality within the Video Management System (VMS) Product Image A new partnership between Bosch Security Systems, Inc. and Streaming Networks will deliver integrated license plate recognition functionality within the Video Management System (VMS) v4.5 from Bosch. The two companies are working together to give customers greater capabilities for gathering vehicle information as part of their security surveillance infrastructure. Streaming Networks’ iRecord License Plate LPR-100 reads retro-reflective license plates found in the U.S. and Canada. It is powered by the company’s innovative optical character recognition (OCR) engine, allowing it to accurately read plates even when they are improperly aligned, partially hidden by plate frames or have vertically stacked characters. When paired with license plate capture cameras from Bosch—such as the DINION capture product family—the system delivers consistent, high-quality images of vehicle license plates even in low-light conditions or when headlight or sun glare are present. “Streaming Networks optical character recognition is focused on assisting customers in tackling real-world security and surveillance issues, such as reading license plates under challenging conditions. We are excited to partner with Bosch to deliver this cutting-edge OCR solution to global customers,” says Ayub Khan, CEO Streaming Networks, Santa Clara, CA. Bosch customers can now view the iRecord License Plate LPR-100 device page in the main VMS window, as just another local edge storage device. This integration makes it easier for operators to access license plate data, which can […]
