AGD launches smart city pedestrian detector

A new chip-set and sophisticated algorithms are said to enable AGD’s latest pedestrian detection systems, the AGD 645, to process information onboard and provide ultra-reliable detection and automated decision-making. Being IP-capable enables the 645 to feed real-time information and video straight into ITS control rooms to allow informed decision making.

A new chip-set and sophisticated algorithms are said to enable 559 AGD’s latest pedestrian detection systems, the AGD 645, to process information onboard and provide ultra-reliable detection and automated decision-making. Being IP-capable enables the 645 to feed real-time information and video straight into ITS control rooms to allow informed decision making.

Large zone ‘super-crossing’ compatible, the detector is smart cities and highways IP capable and features high-definition 3D stereo graphics, low light detection and simple tablet-to-device touch set-up.

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:
