New Artificial Intelligence module integrated
As Eurosatory opens its doors, the HGH Group celebrates its 40th anniversary on booth G547, Hall 6, and unveils its new Artificial Intelligence module integrated to the SPYNEL 360° long distance surveillance.
Since its creation in 1982, HGH, pioneer in infrared technology, has established itself on the international scene as a reference in terms of electro-optical innovation. If innovation is a key value at HGH, the company wants to prove it by unveiling its new Artificial Intelligence algorithm integrated to CYCLOPE video analytics software for intrusion detection, tracking and identification.
The newest GAIA Artificial Intelligence processing features unique capabilities in the market in terms of automatic classification of objects within panoramic thermal images. The AI module makes use of three patent-pending neuronal networks designed to recognize patterns for maritime, land and air surveillance applications. The automatic classification is operational at long-distance, on a very wide range of land and sea targets, from just a few pixels to very large objects. The unique combination of GAIA Artificial Intelligence with Cyclope video analytics provides advanced and early detection, tracking and classification of any kind of threats. Whilst the use of Artificial Intelligence drastically lowers false alarm rate for wide area surveillance applications, it also simplifies the daily operations for the user.
Additionally, GAIA Artificial Intelligence is boosted by the I2QTM image processing library allowing to achieve superior day/night image quality whatever the environmental conditions. I2QTM image processing includes multiple algorithms dedicated to operator experience improvement such as sun glint reduction, smart denoising, local contrast image enhancement and more.
“The integration of Artificial Intelligence into long-range surveillance systems is a key innovation for the defense and security sectors. It enables automatic recognition and classification of the data acquired by security systems with unprecedented performance and image quality. Applied to video analysis, it equips security teams with increased situational awareness allowing greater responsiveness and effectiveness in their decision.” says Edouard Campana, Wide Area Surveillance Business Unit Manager at HGH.
To provide automatic classification of naval or land targets, the CYCLOPE software now uses A.I. to recognize the shapes of objects. Among the promises evoked by the company, such a technology makes it possible to reduce the false alarm rate, to react more quickly to a threat, to improve human decision efficiency while reducing the operational means (security crews on site for example).
As thousands of visitors prepare to enter a renowned defense and security tradeshow, the HGH Group is ready to showcase this latest innovation, designed for all defense applications, but also critical infrastructure surveillance and border protection.
