How can crowd behavior analysis help a smart city?
Crowd behavior analysis is a public safety solution that ensures convenience for the user as it supports simultaneous monitoring of multiple CCTVs.
A smart city will invariably need a public safety solution, and crowd behavior analysis can prove to be the best one available. NEC India has developed this public safety solution keeping in mind the convenience of the user.
Securing a high-security zone is possible with the help of this solution which uses video analytics to detect abnormal behaviors such as intrusion, loitering, and object abandonment. The solution uses live camera feeds to detect these abnormal behaviors.
With the number of CCTVs, the required manpower also increases, thereby increasing the costs. However, Crowd Behavior Analysis provides a cost-effective solution as it enables monitoring of live feeds from more than one CCTV simultaneously.
The solution can be helpful for authorities in protecting critical infrastructure like power stations, airports, water treatment plants etc. Illegal entry into hazardous zones can be prevented by keeping a round-the-clock watch.
The system generates an alert for the user if there is something unusual. It enables a user to differentiate between an object and a human. An abandoned object can be identified easily using the system. The Graphic User Interface (GUI) is user-friendly and customizable. It helps the user define rules and scenarios. Features like counting people and speed detection can be added to it.
There is no requirement for special hardware to use the solution. It can also be integrated with existing security systems, and it supports third-party cameras.
The feature of face recognition can be added to the system as an aid to identify a person. NeoFace is a face recognition technology that uses the face as a biometric for identification. The AI-powered technology uses a database of criminals to spot a suspect. The solution can help deter crimes like snatching and burglaries in a smart city.NeoFace Watch is a technology widely used for post-event face recognition.
