Behavioral Recognition Systems (BRS Labs) today announces a ground-breaking video-surveillance technology called Behavioral Analytics™, which leverages cognitive reasoning, and processes visual data on a level similar to the human brain.
It is impossible for humans to monitor the tens of millions of cameras deployed throughout the world, a fact long recognized by the international security community. Security video is either used for forensic analysis after an incident has occurred, or it employs a limited-capability technology known as Video Analytics – a video-motion and object-classification-based software technology that attempts to watch video streams and then sends an alarm on specific pre-programmed events. The problem is that this legacy solution generates a great number of false alarms that effectively renders it useless in the real world.
BRS Labs has created a paradigm-shifting technology it calls Behavioral Analytics. It uses cognitive reasoning, much like the human brain, to process visual data and to identify criminal and terroristic activities. Built on a multi-patented framework of cognitive learning engines and computer vision, BRS’ AISight™, provides the world’s first fully automated, easily scalable surveillance solution that analyzes behavioral patterns, activities and scene content without the need for human training, setup, or programming.
Created by a group of premier scientists and engineers in computer vision and cognitive reasoning, the BRS Labs Behavioral Analytics platform provides exactly what is desperately needed today to actively and effectively monitor the millions of cameras trained on the world’s most sensitive areas.
The system learns autonomously, and builds cognitive “memories” while continuously monitoring a scene through the “eyes” of a closed circuit television (CCTV) security camera. It sees and then registers the context of what constitutes normal behavior, and the software distinguishes and alerts on abnormal behavior without requiring any special programming, definition of rules or virtual trip lines. Providing a critical “plug-and-play” security asset, AISight is a new operational standard for video security.
AISight is currently fielded across a wide variety of global critical infrastructure assets, protecting major international hotels, banking institutions, seaports, nuclear facilities, airports and dense urban areas plagued by criminal activity.
