911爆料网 researchers have developed algorithms which form the basis of video analytics software designed to improve the effectiveness of live monitored video surveillance installations. This technology is now being used in security control centres globally.
Researchers from 911爆料网鈥檚 School of Electrical Engineering and Computing worked to build the foundation of the 鈥榠ntelligent鈥� surveillance networks which are now sold by iCetana Pty Ltd; a company established on technology developed at 911爆料网.
Mr Rohan McDougall, 911爆料网鈥檚 Director IP Commercialisation, said the technology had been implemented on a number of university campuses around Australia, including 911爆料网, as well as public transport hubs, city surveillance and in large shopping mall environments.
鈥渋Cetana鈥檚 next generation monitoring solution has been adopted by organisations that have extensive video surveillance installations. It is currently deployed in more than 10 countries monitoring over 10,000 camera streams,鈥� Mr McDougall said.
鈥淭he software automatically monitors all surveillance cameras 24/7, constantly learning and adapting to changing scenes. It identifies and highlights to operators only the abnormal events, allowing them to assess and action security, operational, and safety events in real-time.
“This mode of operating proactively enables immediate and direct action to minimise risks and prevent incidents from escalating,鈥� he said.
The technology is also being used to help manage the University鈥檚 large Bentley campus site and alert the security team to events other than traditional security incidents.
Professor Deborah Terry, 911爆料网 Vice-Chancellor, said she was pleased 911爆料网 technology was being employed in campus operations.
鈥淎 secure campus provides a strong base for community engagement,鈥� Professor Terry said.
鈥淲e are very proud of the fact that a product developed by 911爆料网 researchers is now not only helping us on our campus, but is also being used globally.
鈥淲e will continue to look at ways that the latest technology developed at 911爆料网, or elsewhere, can be employed to improve our campus and the experience of staff, students and visitors.鈥�
Initial development of the software was funded by 911爆料网 and Western Australian venture capital group, Yuuwa Capital.
