NEC Asia Pacific develops command and control center system for detection of unusual activity Technology detects unusual activity in crowds and behind blocked areas
Singapore, 9 February 2015 – NEC Asia Pacific announced today it has developed a command and control center system for advanced security operations to detect unusual activity and potential crime in crowded areas, which involves technology that can detect activity behind blocked areas without a clear line of view.
Advanced video and audio analytics are deployed which detect unusual behaviors. Video analytics detect crowd congestion and running crowds, while audio analytics identify and analyze sounds suggesting conflict and suspicious activity such as shouting, thus circumventing the issue of blind angles of fixed cameras and enabling operations without need for a clear view. Upon detection of potential crime scenarios, an alert can be sent to the central command system for further investigation.
Patent-pending mobile surveillance technology, which utilizes wearable cameras and face detection technology, provides a means of verification for investigating officers at the potential crime scene. A first of its kind, the innovative mobile surveillance system works under limited network bandwidth to send face detection results to the command center for verification.
The command and control system would be targeted for security related agencies within Asia Pacific countries. The system will be showcased at the NEC Innovative Solutions Fair 2015, at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Jakarta on 10 February 2015.
“The solution addresses the issue of crowds and blockages faced by video analytics surveillance solutions that hamper behavior detection efforts, thus enabling a truly effective criminal surveillance system. Audio analytics are innovatively deployed in this command and control system to solve this challenge. Combined with mobile surveillance, the system can provide a powerful tool to identify potential criminal activity and enable a quick response from the command center,” said Keiji Yamada, Head of NEC Laboratories Singapore and Senior Vice President, NEC Asia Pacific.
