Smart Cameras Blog

From The Detroit News Online:

An article about the smart cameras at San Francisco International Airport. It points out the basic uses for cameras such as “two airport workers scooting through a security door at the same time, when they should enter one at a time, or a vehicle parked too long at a place where it shouldn’t be.”

But for much more detail on the smart cameras at the airport, see the webinar by Vidient. It has lots of great information. The airport evaluated 18 cameras for 7 different behaviors. The final results were a > 91% accuracy rate with over 700 staged events and a 1% false detection rate.

The tested behaviors included:

Exit Lane Detection

Baggage Jam Detection

Baggage Inspection Table

Access Controlled doors

Vehicle Access Control

Large Stationary Vehicle

Stationary Vehicle

This was sponsored by Homeland Security and a sanitized version of the report will be available at some point.
