Wide Area Persistent Surveillance Solutions for Smart Cities

STARISTIX & SoftServ

Basler Low-Light ace U Camera Helps to Analyze the Flow of People and Vehicles in a Smart City. SoftServ International from Boston develops Wide Area Sensing solutions for surveying large areas of the city from high above. The vision system detects and tracks hundreds of moving people, vehicles, alerts about unusual activity and records the image data for later analysis.

Such systems are employed in surveillance and security, law enforcement, but also for rescue missions on disaster sites, and for smart city applications where cars, trains and airplanes communicate with the city infrastructure.

The low-light sensitive high-resolution ace U with the STARVIS sensor IMX226 turned out to be the perfect match for the newest StareServer 1. The system acquires image data at high resolution, performs video analytics in real time, streams multiple regions of interest, and stores 24 hours of data. Parallel to that, it allows rewinding and rewatching the acquired imagery. Refer https://softserv-intl.us/.

Key features of Wide Area Persistent Surveillance (WAPS) as Follows:

Key Features

1. Wide area motion imagery (WAMI).
2. Captured Constantly.
3. Real Time low latency transmission of tracks between Infrastructure and Vehicles.
4. Constant Detection and Tracking of objects of interest.

Key Technical Functions

1. Raw image conditioning (e.g., ortho-rectification), pre-processing
2. Object detections and multi object tracking.
3. Low latency transmission of detections and tracks.
4. Mass data store
5. Space-bound, time-bound searches
6. Advanced software to enable selection of regions, objects, and time periods of interest.
7. Real time streaming.

Low Latency transmission of detections and tracks over 5G network to all the vehicles in the 1 KM vicinity. Each detection and track contain information about the:

1. Locations (utm/lat-lon)
2. Object type
3. Confidence of Estimate
4. Speed
5. Track number and duration.
6. Track trajectory
7. Real time stamp

Vehicle to Everything V2X Communications

1. Multiple Sensors transmitting traffic tracks/locations to Vehicles. Infrastructure to Vehicle ( I2V )
2. Sensors transmitting traffic to Cloud. Infrastructure to Infrastructure ( I2I )
3. Cars sending information to Infrastructure ( V2I )
4. Cars sharing data among themselves ( V2V )
5. This sharing of data allows speedy and safe travel of vehicles in dense environments.

StareServer 1

1. Ultra Compact Video Analytics and Tile Server
2. Enables Fast View of Large Format Spatio- Temporal Imagery
3. Records 24 hours of Imagery and Meta Data
4. Exceptional Low Light Sensitivity
5. Wide Operating Temperature Range
6. Tracks Object of Interest.
