AVACS (Automatic Video Compilation and Analysis System) from TNO
User-friendly surveillance product that dramatically shortens the time needed for videotape analysis
The use of cameras to make society safer has by now become widespread. It does have its disadvantages, however. One of these disadvantages is that all the available video images will have to be checked and analyzed, and this will require time, manpower and money. During analysis of time-lapse recorded images an observer can get tired when looking at images with few events-of interest
TNO has developed a highly userfriendly product that will dramatically shorten the time needed for videotape analysis: AVACS (Automatic Video Compilation and Analysis System). With the use of AVACS it will be possible to make a fully automated compilation of any mastertape, according to previously set parameters. AVACS is the only system in the Netherlands verified by the police as valid for proof. The graphic user interface of AVACS will enable the operator to enter the required analysis information by himself. AVACS will then automatically investigate each individual image in compliance with the data entered. This may e.g. be a wanted person, but also the number of vehicles passing a specified gate
