Detection, Monitoring & Machine Vision

A trial using wireless communications technology to deliver real-time traffic information has been launched by New Zealand’s Ministry of Transport and ITS consultants AraFlow. The Co-operative Intelligent Transport Systems trial will investigate whether providing accurate real-time information about traffic conditions to participating commercial transport operators improves the productivity of freight movements. Ministry of Transport Chief Executive Martin Matthews says “We are testing whether this informat

The city of Cologne, Germany has installed two CMOS-camera based video pedestrian light systems that will recognise waiting pedestrians and extend the green phase if there are still people crossing after the standard time allocation. The system, implemented by Siemens, uses two Flir cameras. The safe walk camera observes the waiting area. A stereo camera with two CMOS 1/3-inch mono sensors and 3 mm lenses is mounted 3.5 metres above the ground to cover an area of 12 sq m. This camera is set to recognise on

As part of long term efforts to tackle traffic congestion in urban centres, the Jamaican Ministry of Transport, Works and Housing, is looking to establish a modern Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) to provide real-time monitoring and control of highway traffic operations, through a centralised traffic management centre (TMC).

Founded in 1988, German industrial digital camera manufacturer is celebrating twenty-five years of innovation, with clear visions for the future. Basler was one of the first companies to put modern CMOS image sensors onto the market, to integrate powerful and user-friendly interface technology such as Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire and USB 3.0 into industrial cameras, and to take a leading role in the establishment of image processing standards such as GenICam, GigE Vision and USB3 that have gone on to global s

All five megapixel 360 degree cameras produced by camera manufacturer AMG Systems are now Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) compliant. AMG has focused its efforts on fulfilling the ONVIF standard with the result that the entire range comprising the Panocam360, TotemCam360, mini TotemCam - PaNVR360 – and SmokeCam360 are now compliant. The cameras stream up to 12.5 frames per second and the onboard de-warping reduces the processing requirement in the control room. AMG says that offering up to fourte

Flir Intelligent Transportation Systems is to equip the Prado Carénage and the soon to be built Prado Sud tunnels in Marseille, France, with automatic incident detection (AID) technology. The Prado Carénage tunnel connects the southern districts of the city and the eastern motorway to the city centre and to north via the Vieux Port tunnel and the coastal motorway.
