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” […]

CoastalCOMS Milestone Solution Provider Delivers Coastal Analytics

Milestone Systems The CoastalCOMS solution is an integrated solution that leverages proprietary coastal video analytics/data and Milestone XProtect Corporate video management software to provide contextual environmental measurements and information directly from processed surveillance camera images/video. With a primary focus on beach hazard identification and risk management support, the company’s analytics packages provide break zone identification, wave height, wave period, snapshot people counts by preset view (or combinations of preset views), shoreline or waterline variance (mean sea level, mean high water, etc), beach width, and vessel counting. Coupled with Milestone XProtect modules and public weather data sources, the company provides the ability to schedule devices against complex environmental changes and drive beach safety and marine surveillance workflows based on changing weather or hazard thresholds. Secondarily, CoastalCOMS analytics outputs coupled with Milestone XProtect functionality can be applied by science agencies and engineering organisations as smart monitoring and data collection solutions for marine protected area monitoring and enforcement and general coastal project monitoring.

IQinVision’s new Alliance-pro H.264 camera models feature Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) functionality, enabling them to produce clear, crisp images, even in the most challenging lighting conditions. This enhancement is available in the 720p, 1080p, and 3.1MP resolution models, thus catering to the majority of market applications. Designed with the integrator in mind, installation is quick and easy thanks to the remote motorized zoom and focus (with A2 and A3 lens options), a hinged pivoting shroud, and 3-axis gimbal. In addition, the ONVIF and PSIA compliant Alliance-pro offers many advanced capabilities “on the edge” including on-camera storage, Direct-to-Storage recording, Video Analytics, and exacqVision Edge VMS server. Innovation IQinVision Alliance-pro cameras are not only engineered to be the highest quality stand-alone HD megapixel cameras, they are also designed as a platform for the future. Such edge devices empower customers to more easily and cost-effectively build onto their security systems as technology continues to advance. These powerful cameras are capable of advanced functionality on the edge—on-camera analytics, on-camera storage, recording directly to NAS, and integration with software such as exacqVision Edge, a video management system that records directly to the on-camera storage. Direct-to-Storage (DTS) DTS allows for a more scalable, robust and cost effective video recording system. With DTS, the server resides in the camera. Storage can also be located on the camera — all while consuming less than 8W power. Video Analytics Agent Vi expanded its integration with IQinVision to offer its full range of video analytics products on the latest […]

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 […]
