i-bex Video Analytics Platform

i-bex Video Analytics Platform is a software framework which is developed using Capra Image Processing Platform and provides the users with video Analytics ability especially for security applications. i-bex is a framework which acquires video images from different cameras and processes these images while setting the communication between cameras and analyzes the video series in accordance with the parameters entered by the user depending on the requirements of the specific application. We selected school/campus security as the pilot study during development process. i-bex can be used in several sectors including civil and military security, retail and transportation.

i-bex Video Analytics Platform analyzes video images acquired from multiple sensors with its multi-threaded structure, generates the required outputs, enables monitoring the outputs, deriving statistics when necessary and compress and store data in desired format. One of the most important advantages of i-bex is its inter-camera tracking (camera communication) performance. Field of view of a single camera is generally limited for effective security applications. If the field where tracking will be applies is broad, than multi-camera tracking is required. Tracking should continue when the targeted object leaves the field of view of one camera and enter into another's. This task is even harder when the fields of view of multiple cameras collide. Through the embedded and distributed communication architecture of i-bex, inter-camera communication and tracking performance of i-bex is very high.

i-bex comprises of high-performance filters which detects threatening situations and violations (such as suspicious grouping, loitering, unattended packages, wrong parking and speed limit violations) and generate alarms in case of any threat which can be detected by cameras. It is can be used by software development companies and integrators which develop products and solutions for shopping malls, metro stations, bus terminals, schools and campuses where there is intensive human traffic and thus security is an important concern.

Filters such as people counting, object counting and object tracking which are included in Capra Image Processing Platform are technically video Analytics solutions and they are also included in i-bex. Behavior Analytics is an example of distinctive abilities of I-bex. Behavior Analytics filters are used in security applications to detect suspicious activities, people, groups and vehicles while they are used to detect customer paths and hotspots in retail applications.

i-bex Video Analytics Platform detects the following situations which can be a threat for security in and outside the building and generates alarm.

• Suspicious loitering/grouping within the building
• Suspicious people/loitering in and around fire exits
• Suspicious people/loitering at stairwells
• Loss of valuable objects
• Activation of fire alarm
• Unauthorized entry to the building
• Damage to cameras
• Suspicious and unattended packages

• Unauthorized entry/exit over the walls
• Damage to walls
• Damage to cameras

• Speed limit violation on the roads
• Speed limit violation in the parking lot
• Vehicles going in reverse direction
• Wrong parking
• Suspicious and unattended packages
• Damage to cameras
• Entry to areas closed to pedestrians
• Unauthorized entry to roads closed to traffic
