ObjectVideo Forensics See computer forensics. (TM) Can Scan Extensive Quantities of Video Footage within Minutes, Providing Critical Intelligence in Time-Sensitive Cases and Detecting Patterns

ObjectVideo(TM), the leader in intelligent video surveillance software, will launch ObjectVideo Forensics(TM), the security industry's first video forensics product to analyze pre-processed video footage at the speed of a database query, at the ISC West 2004 Conference and Expo in Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States.  on Wednesday.

ObjectVideo Forensics is a powerful tool that allows security and law enforcement professionals to rapidly collect critical intelligence about their security environment based on past events. Extensive video processed by ObjectVideo VEW VEW Vereinigte Edelstahlwerke (Austria)

 within minutes to locate and extract critical information about security breaches. Moreover, ObjectVideo Forensics allows professionals to perform regular analysis of past information to detect possible patterns, such as someone performing ongoing surveillance during the planning of an attack.

"ObjectVideo VEW has led the industry in detecting real-time threats, and now with ObjectVideo Forensics we also offer speed in gathering intelligence of past events," said Dr. Alan Lipton, CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey.  of ObjectVideo. "ObjectVideo Forensics can catch critical information that's likely to go unnoticed by someone who manually views recorded video. By applying a set of rules against the video, the software can quickly detect an anomaly such as a possible terrorist visiting the same location over several days at a specific time."

The key to the speed of ObjectVideo Forensics is its ability to extract a meta-data stream, a highly efficient numerical representation Numerical representation (computers)

Numerical data in a computer are written in basic units of storage made up of a fixed number of consecutive bits.
 of video that can communicate characteristics of objects (e.g., human or vehicle) and their activities (e.g., path and speed). Security and law enforcement professionals can obtain critical information from extensive quantities of video footage at the speed of a database query versus reviewing the video manually - or even reprocessing Reprocessing may refer to:
  • Nuclear reprocessing
  • Recycling
 the video. Additionally, ObjectVideo Forensics utilizes a natural-language query schema so even non-technical users can formulate sophisticated queries such as "a person loitering Loitering (IPA pronunciation: ['lɔɪtəˌrɪŋ] is an intransitive verb meaning to stand idly, to stop numerous times, or to delay and procrastinate.  on a railway platform."

ObjectVideo Forensics ultimately provides security and law enforcement with the ability to:

Learn from the past - The software enables rules to be set up and then run against past events. This after-the-fact analysis makes it possible for professionals to determine the course of events that led to security breaches.

Anticipate the future - The identification of patterns and trends, resulting from ObjectVideo Forensics queries, empowers professionals with information to determine what new rules may be needed in the future or in response to increased threat levels.

Optimize the present - Analysis of previous security scenarios enables professionals to determine, test and fine-tune rules to optimize current surveillance settings and more accurately set rules for the future. Additionally, the product allows professionals to run queries on collected data; therefore, current surveillance is not jeopardized by testing and implementing new rules. This ability can also reduce false alarms and dramatically improve the environment's ability to act on future security threats in real time.

ObjectVideo Forensics easily integrates with ObjectVideo VEW 2.0, an intelligent video surveillance software product that detects threats in real-time by running all objects in a camera's view against a series of pre-programmed rules determined by the user. When an object violates a rule, for example, a small boat loiters next to a Navy ship or a bag is left unattended in an airport, the software alerts security professionals by phone, pager, e-mail or an alert console.
