Technology

Ipsotek uses software combined with purpose-built hardware to provide intelligent video surveillance. Metadata relating to people/vehicle movement, event detection and counting statistics are created and analysed at the camera network “edge” or centrally. See published paper "Evaluation of motion-based algorithms for automated crowd management " for theoretical rationalisation and examples of how this technology can be used in crowd management. Scene object tracking and camera network mapping based on image track start and end points, or Scenario-based detection, enables precise targeting of behaviour analytics over multiple cameras.
