Rochester, N.Y. (Business Wire) December 14, 2005, PL E-Communications, LLC, a leader in research and development of automated
video content analysis software hosted a Technical Interchange Meeting with representatives of the Integrated Base Defense Surveillance Systems
(IBDSS) program office at Hanscom Air Force Base --Electronic Systems Command-- and the Air Force Research Laboratory Information
Directorate/Multi-Sensor Exploitation Branch--, to demonstrate performance of their SC/FAR product using patented Target Motion Cueing (TMC)
technology to provide automated analysis of live or recorded video streams to automatically detect suspicious activities, events or behavior
patterns.
SC/FAR reduces staff required for monitoring as well as increases the probability of detection while minimizing detection time.
This technology is useful for automating detection and cueing in military and law enforcement surveillance activities. Current state of the art for
image surveillance includes pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras and low light level cameras integrated with seismic detection systems. PTZ and low light
level camera technologies show the most promise for large-scale standoff detection and cueing to possible security threats but have drawbacks and
limitations. They minimize the required monitoring force, but both systems require a man in the loop for detection.
AVT234 is an advanced enhancement for providing automated scene understanding for security of ports and water reservoirs, increasing
probability of detection Pd and practically eliminating false alarms. It combines an easy-to-use interface for setting system input configuration
and thresholds, with a standardized output layer for easy integration with existing systems.
The addition of an automatic detection and cueing device to the backend of these mature imaging systems increases functionality while
minimizing staffing, by enabling the man on the loop approach to monitor only alerts generated by the detection system. Current state of
the art automatic detection systems for imaging are currently capable of generating automatic alerts when detection occurs yet false alarm
rates are unacceptably high and often require a response force to confirm the event. SC/FAR provides innovative automatic detection and cueing
that significantly reduces false alarms and is interoperable with a variety of imaging sensors and human identification systems.
This technology provides:
- Automatic detection and cueing of imaging streams
- Alerts with a significantly low probability of false alarms
- Design to ruggedized, small, lightweight form factor
- Uses Commercial Off-The-Shelf equipment
- Designed for networked unattended ground operations
