Video-Analytics

 Many different functionalities can be implemented in VCA.


Video content analysis Video Motion Detection is one of the simpler forms where motion is
detected with regard to a fixed background scene.
 More advanced functionalities include video tracking and egomotion estimation.
 Video Analytics and Smart CCTV are commercial terms for VCA in the security domain.
 Video analytics software was created to help review the growing hours of surveillance video
that a security guard or system manager may never have time to watch - your video
surveillance system is only as useful as the incidents you can capture and watch, and video
analytics will help you find them.
 Using video analytics makes your surveillance system more efficient, reduces the workload on
security and management staff, and helps you capture the full value of security video by
making your IP camera system more intelligent in its work.

How Video Analytics Software Works:


 Video analytics software for security cameras is available in several forms: installed on your
camera, on your NVR, or as 3rd party software you buy.
 Each version will do the same thing, however - monitor your videos to search for and alert
you to activity.

 Each video analytics solution will work a bit differently depending on the manufacturer and
application.
 They all work in the same basic way, however - when setting up the software you set up
parameters to the activity the software is looking for, set up the alert notification system, and
when the software detects something that meets its search criteria it alerts you.
 For example, many businesses use surveillance systems to detect motion in their store after
hours. You can set your system to motion detection during the hours your business is closed,
so if it detects motion it will send you an email response that may help you react quickly to a
break-in or accident.

How Video Analytics Can Help You:


 The old idea of a video surveillance system is of a security guard sitting in a booth watching
the security camera feed live, hoping to catch suspicious activity.
 This model relies on having a live person watching and reviewing all your video, however,
which is not practice efficient. Different security guards may have differing levels of focus or
different ideas of suspicious activity.
 Video management software changes this system by using software to monitor your video
feed around the clock, alerting you to activity so you only need to watch the cameras when
something happens.
 This will help you best utilize your surveillance system, saving you time and effort.

Video Analytics can be used for:


 Motion detection
 Facial recognition & license plate
reading
 People counting & dwell time
monitoring for retail stores
 Recognizing long lines at checkout
and sending alerts
 Video analytics software comes
with a wide range of features,
making them easy to fit into any
surveillance system.
 Choose from software that supports every system, from the smallest systems to large multi-
campus systems. A variety of leading manufacturers create video analytics software,
including Milestone.

Application of Video Analytics:


 In many domains VCA is implemented on CCTV systems, either distributed on the cameras (at-
the-edge) or centralized on dedicated processing systems.
 Video Analytics and Smart CCTV are commercial terms for VCA in the security domain.
 In retail industry, VCA is used to track shoppers inside the store
 With the new suspect tracking technology, it is then possible to track all of this subject's
movements easily: where they came from, and when, where, and how they moved.
 Within a particular surveillance system, the indexing technology is able to locate people with
similar features who were within the cameras’ viewpoints during or within a specific period of
time. Usually, the system finds a lot of different people with similar features and presents
them in the form of snapshots.

Use Cases:
Traffic control system:

 Live video feeds that are grabbed from the available traffic cameras can be used as the input
to the system. The video processing engine then processes the video and the extracted data is
sent to WSO2 Stream Processor to process.

Transport monitoring system:


a) Vehicle traffic detection
b) Special incident detection
c) Pedestrian and vehicle monitoring

Security/surveillance:
 Access control is one of the primary use cases of video processing-based surveillance.
 Health status monitoring of patients in hospitals is another application of surveillance
 Intrusion detection via video processing is a key application of security.

Conclusion:
 Video processing can take surveillance and other monitoring tasks to a whole new level,
reducing time, money, and human effort. this makes industries more secure, reliable, and
consistent.
 We also discussed three main use cases of video processing, traffic monitoring, security, and
surveillance, and described multiple ways of how such use cases are implemented.
