Arteco VCA Video Content Analytics Solution

March 17, 2020
Classify object types and identify behavior in real time

Arteco VCA is Arteco's advanced video analytics set that involves the digitalization of video footage and the employment of sophisticated algorithms to classify object types and identify behavior in real time, providing alerts and events to our users.

Video analytics allows cameras to be used in a wide range of markets providing a much greater return on investment than ever before, with applications such as: perimeter detection, vehicle classification, crowd control, abandoned object and parking management to name just a few.

The Arteco Video Content Analytics solution was designed to be easily set up and immediately employed by companies and users. Following Arteco’s motto “Security at First Sight”, security professionals can rely on a more effective detection procedure due to a made-to-measure approach that give them the chance to apply multiple logical rules to create unique scenario for a single camera view and video streaming. As a consequence, the user can count on an accurate false alarm minimization and a feeling of extreme control over the scene.

ALGORITHMS AND FEATURES

Arteco VCA has a whole set of algorithms that make it an incredible solution for an extremely wide range of applications. This is the list of the applicable filters, and much more is about to come:

  • - Intrusion detection
  • - Loitering
  • - Counting
  • - Object Classification
  • - Deep Learning Filter
  • - Speed Filter
  • - Appear & Disappear Filter
  • - Stopping Object Filter
  • - Dwell Filter
  • - Enter & Exit Filter
  • - Direction – Wrong direction
  • - Tail Gating
  • - Abandoned Object
  • - Tamper Detection

CLASSIFICATION OF OBJECTS AND METADATA

Arteco VCA allows the classification of static and moving objects on the basis of size and speed. In addition to the distinction between cars and larger vehicles, individuals and moving groups can be distinguished.

The detection of moving subjects generates metadata that appears in real time in the video streaming and allows you to simplify the forensic research:

- Data and time

- Channel

- Type and name of the event

- Bounding box

- Classification, speed and size of the object

- Classification and reliability of Deep Learning

- Object color

“Arteco’s mission is making the companies’ life easy when it comes to security. We developed Arteco VCA to be applicable to a wide range of markets, since it provides specific and powerful algorithms that make the security job the most accurate possible.” Said Giampaolo Sabbatani, CEO of Arteco. “And that is not all: we keep on working for interoperability, focusing on integrations, because we know the importance of approaching the customers with customized offers that meet their specific needs of security”.

ARTECO integrates with NVR/DVR supplied by third parties

There are several methods to design a security system using Arteco. In the past we had to have a server on each site that linked back to the control room or client PC’s. With the drive of Asian manufactures to reduce the price of surveillance equipment, we found that clients, convinced by such offering, had to find out that they do not have the full flexibility of being hardware agnostic.

As a consequence, they have been requesting that Arteco developed a solution to integrate with the existing equipment.

We are pleased to say that we have such solution! Now a client can use the lower cost hardware, but still have the ability to use a solution such as Arteco NEXT which now gives them almost unlimited freedom and flexibility.

This is the most common scenario:

The HikVision and/or Dahua DVR/NVR can be deployed on the remote site and communicate with a local and/or remote control-room. The events can be generated either by the NVR/DVR itself or may be generated on the edge by the camera itself.

The control room may be on the local LAN or situated remotely. Events and/or live video will be received in the control room by the operators.

Employing the RTSP steam, two paths can be taken:

- In the state of good internet connection speed, Arteco Next interface can centralize and receive 24/7 video and provide a redundant storage as if the video stream was provided by normal IP camera channels.

- In state of low internet connection speed, Arteco Next interface can centralize and receive only events in the form of a snapshot from NVR/DVR devices on the field, and finally access to recorded video on the NVR/DVR.
