artec technologies AG: Federal Ministry of Economics supports a new R&D project for the acoustic control of video camera systems.
(firmenpresse) - (DGAP-Media / 08.10.2012 / 09:30)
Diepholz, October 8, 2012 - together with the Technical University in
Braunschweig, artec technologies AG (ISIN DE0005209589) will implement a
research and development (R&D) project for the development of an acoustic
control system for video camera systems. The Federal Ministry for Economy
and Technology has already approved an appropriate grant within the
framework of the 'Central Innovation Program for Medium-sized Businesses
(ZIM)'.
The objective of this cooperative project is the development of
revolutionary sensor technology for integrating automatic directional
detection into the control of video-camera tracking systems deployed in the
surveillance of open terrain. This will provide for greatly increased
security - especially during nighttime hours. The acoustic sensor
technology will detect the sources of sounds within a large surveillance
area and transmit the directional data to special cameras which are then
automatically redirected and zoned in on those sources. At the same time,
alarm messages are sent to command centers whose personnel can then
evaluate the ensuing live images transmitted by remote video. In a further
stage of development, these acoustic sensors will be able to detect certain
sound patterns such as graffiti spraying or external influences on
vehicles, boxcars, etc. and thus help avoid false alarms.
'This, our third such R&D project, further demonstrates our high level of
innovativeness,' Thomas Hoffmann, member of artec technologies' board of
directors explains. He points out that such 'acoustic radar,' which enables
the intelligent detection, localizing, and tracking of sound sources
through video technology, even under adverse conditions, is not presently
available on the market. 'The present systems - based as they are primarily
upon motion sensors - will be redefined in the future by their supplemental
capacity to recognize dominant sources of sound and focus surveillance on
those. The results of this research and the know-how gained by that will
markedly contribute to a better capacity to meet the demands of the market
and society's need for security. This, in turn, will further strengthen
artec technologies' position in the market place,' Hoffmann concludes.
