LOGIPIX BORDER SURVEILLANCE SOLUTION

The solution is designed to monitor long, open-air border sections, whether they are land or water, and cover the surrounding area for several kilometers in the horizontal depth. Logipix provides automatic detection, classification and tracking of targets within the monitored area and with Real-time Decision Making Support, it helps operators quickly react to threats like smuggling, terrorism and illegal immigration. Our border surveillance solution adapts to different environmental conditions, it can act as a much more effective alternative to fences but also strengthens existing ones.

Highlights

Complete solution – Logipix provides the most effective visible-light surveillance with high-end Panorama Cameras, Outdoor Network Video Recorders, and specially developed Command and Control Software (VMS). To see beyond visible light, optionally third-party components can be integrated.

Panoramic view – 200-960 MP panoramic images ensure better spatial awareness for operators, as large areas are displayed simultaneously and the relative positions of landscape formations help visual orientation.

Maximized system uptime – Logipix provides uninterrupted system availability as all their components are developed to operate with high MTBF.

Sensor fusion – Each border surveillance technology has its own bottleneck. Logipix solution allows to strengthen these technologies and leverage them together. It is able to receive third-party sensor data and merges them with the visual information of Logipix Panoramas.

Real-time Decision Making Support – RTDMS function is built on intelligent algorithms in order to highlight only potential threats. This way it guides the attention of operators in the Command and Control Software.

Adaptable system structure – Logipix always consider the specific purpose of monitoring and also the characteristics of the border area in order to choose the most appropriate technologies and coverage structure on the field.

Computer Vision Technologies – Logipix ensures automatic object detection, object classification, false alarm reduction and automatic target tracking and target localization functions.

Self-maintenance – Logipix hardware components are capable of automatic self-maintenance, thanks to their built-in self-cleaning and deicing systems.

Designed for long-term – Our engineers developed leading-edge technologies that ensure the system avoids both physical and technological obsolescence for a long time.

Operation in extreme weather conditions – Logipix hardware components are rugged, full metal constructions with built-in heating and cooling systems, and they are also available made of marine grade materials. They can withstand intense weather conditions.

Covering immense areas

The main line of visual coverage consists of Logipix Panorama cameras. A single 320 MP Panorama camera has 40° FOV and effectively monitors an area of 8 km2 from a single viewpoint. Its resolution allows to detect humans within a range of up to 3 km. Three of these cameras can be installed at a single spot, providing 120° FOV and 24 km2 area coverage. In case a narrower area should be monitored near a defense line, Logipix 20 MP cameras can be used in a desired structure.

Computer vision for threat detection

In effective threat detection, continuous visual coverage of immense areas is just the first step. Automatic detection, efficient object classification and liable visual verification are all essential. Radars and intrusion sensors are prone to generate false alarms in a relatively large number. On the other hand, Logipix developed Computer Vision Technologies for accurate object detection and classification which minimizes false alarm rates. The immense resolution and automatic zoom functions allow operators to decide between non-threatening objects and targets that require fast respond.

Focusing on Advantages

960 MP Panorama Cameras

Contrary to PTZ cameras, a Panorama camera allows to continuously observe each sector of an area up to 9,6 km2. (for automatic human detection)

Thermal imaging

Clear imagery during night and in challenging environmental conditions such as smoke, dust, haze and fog.

Sensor fusion

More accurate representation of the environment by aggregated raw data analysis.

Automatic object detection

Based on visual information, even the slowest moving humans can be detected from 3 kilometers away.

Geofencing

Zones can be virtually designated within the monitored area, which for various detection rules can be assigned.

Automatic object classification

Close to zero false alarms caused by animals and other non-threatening objects.

RTDMS

Helps operators focus only on potential threats.

Multiple target tracking

Logipix VCA allows to track unlimited targets at the same time that are visible for Panorama cameras.

Target localization

Real-time GPS position of all detected objects to effectively guide squads or border patrol units.

ePTZ zoom function

Auto-zoom and auto-tracking function on the panoramic video, triggered by VCA or PIDS, and displayed in individual zoom windows.
