Intelligent Video Surveillance

Schneider Electric

Intelligent Video Analytics - Definition

●Video analytics involves detecting and tracking motion of objects

●It can identify specific conditions and alert mine operators of potential situations

Schneider Electric – New trends in video analytics and surveillance systems – SME 2013

Schneider Electric

Adaptive Motion●Detects and tracks objects that

enter a zone – filtered by size

Schneider Electric

Directional Motion

11:00 – 05/05/2012

●Generates an alarm in an area when a person or object moves in a user-specified direction.

●Cameras can detect vehicles / personnel moving in the opposite direction of the normal flow of traffic or an individual entering through an exit door.

Schneider Electric

Object Removal●Triggers an alarm if an object is

removed from a defined zone

●Ideal for customers who want to detect the removal of high value or critical objects

Schneider Electric

Object Counting

11:00 – 05/05/2012

●Counts the number of objects that enter a defined zone or cross a tripwire

●Used to count the number of people at a store entrance/exit or inside a store where the traffic is light.

●Based on tracking and does not count people in a crowded setting.

Schneider Electric

Camera Sabotage●Detects large changes in the field of view

●Alarm generated on significant shift in pixel field such as lens cover or camera repositioning

11:00 – 05/05/2012

Abandoned Object●Detects objects placed in

user-defined zone

●Dwell time monitoring of a stationary object within a zone

●Typical installation for critical infrastructure (Chemicals, Fuel, Hazardous)

Schneider Electric

Loitering Detection

11:00 – 05/05/2012

●Detects people or vehicles in a zone longer than the user-defined time allows

●Dwell time monitoring of moving targets within a zone

●Effective in real-time notification of suspicious behavior around hazardous areas / critical infrastructure

Stopped Vehicle

11:00 – 05/05/2012

11:00 – 05/05/2012

●Detects vehicles stopped near a sensitive area longer than the user-defined time allows

●Ideal for mining hazardous areas, and vehicles waiting at gates.

Schneider Electric

Auto Tracking

11:00 – 05/05/2012

●Detects and tracks movement in the camera’s field of view.

●Camera automatically pans and tilts to follow object.

Schneider Electric

Object Type Detection●Added to Adaptive Motion and Loitering Detection

on Thermal Imaging cameras● Uses object size and shape rather than

temperature profile to discriminate object type

Camera Technologies for challenging conditions

Schneider Electric

Challenging lighting conditions

11:00 – 05/05/2012

11:00 – 05/05/2012

●Low light levels

●Wide dynamic range – Very bright and very dark areas in the same scene

●Blooming with headlights in the dark

●No light

Thermal Imaging

Schneider Electric – New trends in video analytics and surveillance systems – SME 2013

Thermal Imaging Visible Imaging

●Doesn’t need light!●Creates images from differences in radiated emissivity and

temperature●Particularly effective with video analytics●Moving from Military to commercial applications

Schneider Electric

Thermal Imaging●For places where subtle differences in

appearance cannot be detected by visible light cameras

●Thermal cameras can help identify:●Leaks, ruptures●Hot spot, Sensitive locations where

temperature change can predict serious trouble.

●Ideal for mine surveillance, perimeter monitoring, high-value asset protection, electrical devices supervision (motors / transformers) and process supervision
