Monitoring railways: key objectives1. Objects People, vehicles, debris
2. Alert situations Object appearingObject stopping/loiteringAbandoned item/debrisVideo quality degradation
3. Strong noises Trains, shadows, precipitation
4. Response time Below 2 seconds
Project challengesPROBLEM SOLUTION
1. Automatic recognitionof alert situations
Video analyticsbased on the latest machine
vision findings
2. Efficient all-weather operations
Integratedthermal and television
surveillance system
3. Very extended installation(over 650 km / 400 miles)
Fully embeddedvideo analytics
4. False alarms caused by multiple detections per
person from multiple cameras
Multiple camera tracking video analytics

Why multiple camera analytics?
1. Minimizes redundancy and false alerts while preserving all-whether sensitivity
2. Synchronizes television and thermal image3. Tracks objects from camera to camera for– Accurate object positioning on the maps– Automatic channel switching– Automatic angle of view suggesting– Map object searching
