For some time, businesses have used digital video surveillance for security and other purposes. But there’s been a problem with this system; the footage is often cumbersome to search. Now, a company has developed a search engine for archived digital video surveillance footage, making it much easier to peruse.
According to Scientific American, the tool, which was developed by 3VR Security, Inc., allows users to search footage that’s stored on a single server for objects or people, based on many characteristics: time, location, individual camera, motion, color and so on. When archiving footage, the system puts a numeric value on every object in each frame, so these values are later used to pinpoint a particular object, time or location. “The image is stored as a series of points, each with a different value, similar to the way a thumbprint is digitized and stored,” 3VR founder and chairman Steve Russell told Scientific American.
