Integrating Video Analytics Technologies At Airports.
Only three years ago a Hezbollah terrorist passed safely and quietly at an airport, just before committing a terror attack in the city of Borges in Bulgaria. The terrorist was seen in the airport’s security cameras carrying a large duffle bag, which could have been hiding the explosives. There is no doubt that there is a critical need for finding solutions for more advanced security in airports.
Ipsotek has managed to develop a range of smart Video Analytics capabilities, meant to answer exactly these needs in the aviation industry and contribute to the effective management of security in airports. The company displayed its technologies at the Aviation Security Conference 2015, which took place in September at Dubai.
The company’s Video Analytics solutions include perimeter protection, intrusion detection, Crowd and Operations Management, including advanced Face Recognition. The company’s forensics solutions include identifying causes of security breaches by conducting effective face based or appearance based searches.
“The deployment of Ipsotek’s range of sophisticated video analytics meets the needs of aviation security bodies to effectively detect and respond to threats and incidents,” says Bill Flind, Chief Executive, Ipsotek Ltd. “Along with our exhibition partner, CNL, we’re looking forward to discussing with delegates, how the integration of analytics into security management & control systems can provide a new level of situational awareness and highly-effective automated threat & incident management within an airport’s day-to-day management.”
The Borges’ attack investigation revealed that the terrorist was walking around the terminal and around Israeli buses for several hours, examining their locations, and surveying his surroundings before exploding himself. Detecting such behavior, which could be taken as suspicious, amongst thousands of people in the airport is exactly where Video Analytics technology comes in, allowing calling attention to relevant factors inside a flood of existing information using smart algorithms.
