Technology Research

In 2003, with University of Rochester and RIT scientists Automatic video change detection and tracking algorithms commercialized and equipment developed for perimeter security. In 2005, contracted with Air Force to produce video analytics product (AVT234©) for perimeter security. In 2007, delivered AVT234© perimeter security product to; U.S. Military and large systems integrators. In 2008, delivered AVT234© perimeter security products to regional/international energy companies for perimeter security.

In 2008, began to adapt AVT234 © for third party damage prevention by working with NGA/NYSEARCH and member companies RG&E, NYSEG, and Consolidated Edison to evaluate suitability to detect TP threats to pipelines; collected test video at job sites to begin to characterize settings in PLE lab, determined critical Third Party equipment types to be considered for urban, rural gas pipeline ROW’s, assigned level of risk to equipment types by probability, ran live scenarios at RG&E Scottsville Rd. and ConED faciliies to test real-world operation ignoring benign activity and alarming on threatening events by developing new filters, algorithms to accomplish this.
