Realizes coordination with Milestone Systems'video management software
TOKYO, October 9, 2015—Canon Inc. announced today the development of a plug-in that facilitates greater video-analysis efficiency in systems employing multiple network cameras through the combination of Canon’s video content analysis (VCA), which includes multi-person tracking technology currently under development, and Milestone Systems’1 XProtect® video management software2 (VMS). The plug-in was realized through Canon’s ongoing development of VCA, which makes possible the analyzing and application of data from video captured by network cameras to realize benefits in such fields as marketing and service.
Four detection functions offered by multi-person tracking technology
The use of network cameras is not limited to applications targeting crime prevention, as they are also expected to contribute to enhancing marketing and service processes. In addition to the use of network camera video data to realize high levels of safety and security, Canon is working to develop VCA for applications in the field of marketing. Using VCA multi-person tracking technology, Canon aims to provide users with the following four detection functions.
Through further development, Canon aims to commercialize its VCA incorporating multi-person tracking technology in 2016 in coordination with various types of video management software.
