Virtual Fence Alert

Alerts can be triggered when a virtual tripwire is touched or crossed.

 
 
   

Fenceline Detection within Moving Leaves and Shadows

“Fence line detection in challenging conditions” ; Video security experts know that positive detection within an Area of Interest which is experiencing environmental noise (e.g., moving leaves and their shadows) is one the most difficult scenarios for any analytics system, at any price. Amazingly, the WiseEye meets and even exceeds the performance level of the highest-end analytics costing 3-5X more.

 
   

Construction site: Fast -moving intruder

Fast-moving detection: construction site . Many analytic-based systems go through a series of internal processes before a detection decision/notification is made. Unfortunately, some events (such as running people) make clear object-recognition difficult, and the analytics may decide to ignore the event altogether. As a result, these “false negatives” put the entire site at risk.

 
   

Fenceline Detection: Crawling Intruders at a Distance

Sterile zones along fence lines are a mandatory requirement for many perimeter protection applications. Detecting crawling intruders close to the fence is a difficult task for all analytic solutions--especially at distance. A crawling intruder’s small size and slow movement speed at 300 feet makes detection very difficult. The WiseEye sensor, with its built in sterile zone function, accurately detects the crawling intruder (it ignores any activity outside this zone) and also tracks him when leaving the sterile zone.

 
   

Positive Detection with Wind and Shadows

The “masking” function is often used by analytics products to prevent false positives. Unfortunately, “noisy areas” are not always under our control, and in many cases intruders must be detected within that very area—rendering masking useless. In this example, the WiseEye’s strong filtering of background changes ignores the “noise” (generated by trees and shadows) while still detecting a real moving in the same area is detected.

 
   

250 ft. Night Detection with IR Illumination

WiseEyes can be successfully used for long range detection even in totally dark conditions. The monitoring operator can make a “classification” level assessment (i.e., human, not deer or garbage can, etc.) to speed real-time response.

 
   

People and car lights

The WiseEye can make positive detection decisions in changing lighting conditions (the passing car lights). People are still tracked under these difficult scenarios.

 
   
Four WiseEyes monitoring a water facility

Typically, several WiseEyes are used to insure complete visual protection for the entire facility. Here, images from four sensors are shown simultaneously. One sensor (top left) was mounted on top of the water tank, the other three on the surrounding fence posts. Detection results are shown from a few hours of system testing by the facility's security officers. Tests started at 5AM (before sunlight) and ended at 8AM (in full sunlight). No false alarms were produced even though one sensor (on tank top) was pointing exactly at the rising sun.

 
   

Detection/False Positive Suppression in Changing Weather

Unlike other analytics-based systems, WiseEyes automatically adapt to year-round weather conditions, and one of the most significant challenges for video detection cameras in the 100-yard application is an abrupt weather change. In this example, a 3-inch snow shower passes thru the Area of Interest. The sudden introduction of larger, slow-moving snowflakes contrasts dramatically with sunny conditions an hour earlier. The WiseEye’s automatic, adaptive analytics algorithms ignore the snow—while still detecting the vehicle. The key element here is no configuration change was required on the WiseEye to handle this weather pattern.

 

False Positive Suppression at a Pumping Location

Weather and illumination can change drastically even in a short time. In this compressed clip we see snapshots of severe illumination changes during a 24 hour period in a Washington State energy facility. No false alerts were generated by the WiseEye security system.

 

 

Filtering Tree Movement without Masking

A highway in Beijing is monitored. Note that tree movement does not generate alerts. This is recognized automatically by the algorithm without need for manual masking.
