INTEGRATION – Verint PureTech Systems has developed and patented a suite of geo-spatial video content analysis solutions called PureActiv. PureActiv integrates with Verint Enterprise Video Management Software (VMS), providing industry leading video detection, behavior recognition and object classification. PureActiv utilizes video streams from an IP camera or encoder, analyzes the images in real time using geospatial video analytic algorithms and sends metadata alarms directly to Verint for display to the operator. The integration also includes tampering alarms and is deployable on all fixed and PTZ cameras with the system.

PureTech Systems’ PureActiv differentiators at a glance include –

• Patented Geospatial Video Detection Algorithms. • High-performance detection with proven low false alarms rates • Industry leading technical support to integrators • Generation of robust real time metadata. • Robust detection capability including object classification (animal, person, vehicle), real size, real speed and

exact location (latitude / longitude / elevation). • Includes camera tampering alarms. • Applicable to both fixed and PTZ cameras. • A proven solution for critical infrastructure, transportation, airports and utility markets. • Low nuisance alarm rate – Multi-modal “learning” background feature. • High detection rates in difficult, long range outdoor environments. • Works with visible, IR illuminated and thermal cameras. • Deployable as a server or edge solution.

Architecture

PureActiv video analytics processes video streams coming from selected cameras. Each camera can maintain its own unique detection capabilities. Detected events like intrusion, people counting or traffic incidents are sent to the Verint VMS using a software development kit (SDK) XML connection. Configurable alarms descriptions, meta-data and bookmarks are attached to every event for further processing. In addition to “typical” alarm meta-data, PureActiv also supplies more advanced data, such as latitude, longitude, elevation, object classification and object speed.

Capabilities

PureTech Systems’ PureActiv video analytics are integrated with Verint Enterprise Video Management Software. The integration is achieved by using the Verint SDK and PureActiv’s robust API. IP video is received by PureActiv over an IP connection directly from a camera or video encoder. The video stream is them analyzed for intrusion event or specific behaviors as defined in the PureActiv setup tool. When detection has occurred, alarm information is collected, packaged into standard metadata format and reported to the Verint server via an IP connection. The PureActiv setup tool is where regions of interest, rules, object classification and behaviors can be defined per camera. Operators can also manage several PureActiv specific operations like defining schedules, geo-referencing the scene and defining specific object classes and size. The alarms raised by PureActiv are then stored in Verint Enterprise VMS and can be reviewed at any time.

Benefits of PureActiv include highly accurate, long range detection capability for outdoor scenes. Longer detection range and higher detection rates equate to improved security, cost savings and commercial gains. PureActiv’s metadata allows for increased efficiency in defining and reacting to alarms. The ability to use a wide range of camera models and camera types, as well as, the flexibility to install as a server or edge device solution gives the installer more options and provides further cost saving for the end user.

Objection Detection The ability to detect objects and intrusions

using various types of cameras and illuminants

while ignoring normal environmental conditions

Object Classification The identification of objects by type: human,

car, truck, boat, unknown. The subsequent

classification can then be used for alarming and

display.

Real Size The ability to determine “real” object size. This

is in contrast to just determining pixel size.

Although an object may encompass a very

large number of pixels, this algorithm enables

the software to compute the object’s size in the

real world regardless of how large it may

appear in the camera view

Image Stabilization Camera movement is commonplace, annoying

and places havoc on most motion detection

products. The Stabilization algorithm removes

this video shifting providing a stable video for

3rd party systems and operator viewing.

Car Counting The ability to count vehicles in low ceiling

environments with directional accuracy, while

ignoring pedestrians and environmental

conditions.

Wrong Direction / Speed Threshold This algorithm can detect the real speed of the

vehicle or object, regardless of its orientation

to the camera (approaching, departing, moving

across scene), as well as, the direction of

movement with respect to an area of interest.

Thresholds can then be set to trigger

appropriate alarms.

Stopped Vehicle Detection that a vehicle, or other object of

interest has stopped within a defined region.

Dropped/Thrown/Removed Objects The algorithm looks for objects that have been

left in a location, have been thrown into the

view of the camera or removed from the scene.

Background Modeling Background modeling is crucial to every form

of analytic behavior intended to be used in

outdoor applications. It affords the capability to

recognize traits of the background and remove

those attributes from the scene. This then

allows for analysis of the remaining objects.

Loitering / Crowd Detection Often times it is important to not only detect

the object, but understand how many objects

are present and whether they are remaining in

a defined area for a suspicious period of time.

This behavior is covered by Loitering and

Crowd Detection.

Detection within a Region The use of video analytics becomes more

powerful when allowing the ability to add

additional requirements to the behavior. For

example, the entrance or exit from a defined

area, or a specific object type of action

occurring in that area.

Camera Tampering Video analytics can also be used to detect

possible tampering with the camera. PureActiv

includes a range of camera tampering detection

algorithms including: Loss of Video, Blocked

Lens, Bumped Camera, Illumination Level Too

High/Too Low, Excessive Camera Motion, Video

Processing Error, Low Frame Rate or

Indeterminate.
