June 16, 2014—Huper Laboratories (huperLab), a Taiwan-based developer of intelligent video surveillance systems and related technologies, recently brought to market its 3D Virtual Fence solution. By utilizing a three-dimensional (3D) stereo camera, the 3D Virtual Fence can perceive intrusions in depth at different heights when objects pass a predefined fence, explains the company. Unlike other video analytics in the market, huperVision 3D Virtual Fence is less influenced by lights and shadows, such as in high-traffic areas, huperLab adds.
Using a traditional 2D analytic camera, previous virtual fences have been easily influenced by environmental conditions, such as snow, fallen leaves, and light and shadow changes, to cause false alarms. But utilizing the stereoscopic vision with its 3D stereo camera, huperVision 3D Virtual Fence captures three-dimensional and real-time object information in depth that can better distinguish the objects in real position with different heights whether they are moving toward or away from the camera, asserts the company.
Beyond a tripwire application, the 3D Virtual Fence allows users to build a polygon fence with height and bi-directional detection for various scenarios. Once events are detected, video recording and event notifications will be activated for further analysis. Moreover, security personnel and operators will receive push video event notification on their iOS/Android mobile devices, and playback event video at real-time, to verify the situation immediately.
This feature requires no sensor devices or electro-sensitive protective equipment. Guided by the 3D camera wizard, an easy, step-by-step installation will be available, thus all setup will be completed in seconds, claims the company. huperVision 3D Virtual Fence works well for sites storing valuable items, product showcases, production inspection in factories, and building entrances with height restriction, danger zone protection and so on.
