Technology Research
In 2003, PLE began collaborating with the University of Rochester (UR) to commercialize automatic video change
detection algorithms into a useful advanced video toolkit product for use in physical security applications for the military. The result of this
effort was an untested commercial Target Motion Cueing (TMC) algorithm. Later in 2005, PLE entered into an Analysis & Evaluation (A&E) contract
with Air Force Research Labs Rome, New York (AFRL) and Hanscom Air Force Base Bedford, Massachusetts (Hanscom) to report TMC's performance in
militarily relevant scenarios. Due to the success of the A&E contract the project was extended for another year to perform evaluation of software
enhancements and additions that that occurred in 2005. These additions and enhancements are a result of continuing research at UR and efforts by
PLE in the field of video surveillance and have resulted in the formal development of the Advanced Video Toolkit (AVT234©), available as a
rack-mounted or quickly deployable kit.
