THERMAL IMAGING TECHNOLOGY IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE:

THERMAL IMAGING is an imaging process which renders infrared radiation as visible light for creating video images. Normally all the objects emit electromagnetic radiation which is called black-body radiation, the thermal camera infrared sensor will pick up this radiation to create an image. These thermal imaging cameras are widely used in night-time surveillance since it can certainly expose objects from poor lighting to total darkness also. Using the infrared sensor, thermal cameras can create images in the infrared spectrum of 900-14,000 nanometers (nm or µm) instead of the visible light spectrum of 450-750nm.
There are two common types of thermal-imaging devices:

• Un-cooled device - This device operates at room temperature which is completely quiet, activates immediately and has the battery built-in facility.
• Cryogenically cooled – This device is more expensive and have the elements sealed inside a container that cools them to below 32 F (zero C). The advantage of this device is incredible resolution and sensitivity that result from cooling the elements. Cryogenically-cooled systems can "see" a difference as small as 0.2 F (0.1 C) from more than 1,000 ft (300 m) away.

Thermal cameras are used in many numbers of applications like the navy, map-reading, firefighting, medicine, security field etc. Firefighters use these cameras since it can help them to find out the origin of the fire through which they can identify how to accurately attack the fire and reduce possible causalities. Thermal imaging is often used in naval vessels. In warfare thermal imaging technology provides three significant advantages. First, the imager itself is nearly impossible for the enemy to detect, as it detects energy that's already there, and doesn't have to send out any energy of its own. Second, it sees heat, which is hard to camouflage. Thirdly, thermal imaging systems can see through smoke, fog, haze, and other atmospheric obscurants better than a visible light camera can.
The main advantages of thermal imaging are as follows:

1. Can be used day and night.
2. Works in practically all weather conditions.
3. Can see through light fog, rain and smoke.
4. No downtime, low maintenance.
5. Very low energy consumption.
6. Extremely difficult to escape detection as thermal contrast is impossible to conceal.
7. Analytical software available for increased security and cost reduction
8. Wireless/IP available

Thus thermal imaging in video surveillance has demonstrable advantages for a growing number of applications in the security sector.

Features of video analytics:

Motion detection:

Motion detection refers to the capability of the surveillance system to detect motion and capture the event. It will compare two adjacent frames of a recording event and if there is any difference then it will record that frame.

Foreign object:

Detects new object in the video. If any new object that enters and remains in a pre-defined area Field of view then it is taken as a foreign object.

Missing object:

Detects missing object in the video. If any object is removed or missing from the pre-defined area then it gives an alarm.

Auto tracking:

It is used to automatically track the movements of individual persons with the combinations of FIXED and PTZ cameras.

These are useful in number of applications:
   Detect and alert users regarding unwanted persons eg-- known shoplifters.
   Detect and alert to the arrival of VIP customers or Clients, who need attention.
  

People counting:

The people counting analytic tracks the bi-directional flow of objects through a user defined area. It is designed for entrances and exits.It is used to count the number of customers that approach an end-cap to gain insight into merchandising effectiveness through which the Retail stores can use information gathered to enhance customer service and optimize staffing. For example, retailers can determine peak traffic hours and staff accordingly to ensure customer service at its highest level.

RESOLUTION:

Resolution is the clarity of the Image it holds. For analog systems, this is typically measured in Television Lines (TVL). The higher the resolution, the better the definition and clarity of the picture. The camera “scans” an image in a series of lines running horizontally.Each horizontal line is made up of a number of elements. Once one line is scanned, the second line is scanned, and so on. Resolution is a measure of the quantity of both individual lines and the component elements making up each line. In a CCD camera, resolution has a direct relationship to the number of pixels on the CCD image sensor. Resolution measures the number of horizontal lines a camera uses to produce an image. Horizontal resolution measures the number of elements making up each horizontal line. Vertical and horizontal resolutions typically yield a 3:4 ratio relationship (e.g., 600 vertical lines to 800 elements in each line). CCTV camera resolution is usually in the 380 to 540 TVL range. The higher the camera’s resolution, the more detail visible (because the lines are closer together and there are more elements in each individual line). Lower-resolution cameras produce images with less detail.

 

The following one explains how the resolution varies for colour and monochrome cameras:

The Image Resolutions for CCTV cameras are as follows:

In terms of Analog the resolution will be described with QCIF, CIF, 2CIF, 4CIF AND D1.The values for the same is mentioned below:

1. QCIF- 176 X 120
2. CIF – 352 X 288
3. 2CIF – 704 X 240
4. 4CIF – 704 X 576
5. D1 – 720 X 576

In IP Camera , resolution is described with VGA, 1.3MP, 3MP, 5MP.

1. VGA – 640 X 480
2. 1.3MP – 1280 X 1024
3. 3MP – 2048 X 1536
4. 5MP – 2560 X 1920

 

Recording Resolution of the DVR:

DVRs would record at CIF (352 x 240 pixels), 2 CIF (528x360), and 4CIF (704x480). There are some new DVR that would take high definition, 1920x1080pixels.Comparing to DVR , NVR recording resolution is higher, can be over 2560x1920pixels for 5MP IP cameras @ 15fps.

Camera Resolution:

Camera resolution, usually described in terms of horizontal pixels. Analog cameras usually have 420, 540, 600 pixels/lines of horizontal resolution. Some new Hi-def analog camera with DVI output can handle 1920x1080. IP cameras would cover as much as 2560x1920 pixels.Medium resolution of B/W camera in EIA system is 510 horizontal pixels by 492 vertical pixels and is equivalent to 380 TV lines. High resolution is 768(H) x 492(V) pixels and equivalent to 570 TV lines. Color camera's medium resolution means 330TV lines and high resolution needs more than 460TVlines.

Monitor Resolution:

The monitors in NTSC system have 525 vertical scanning lines regardless of their size. The horizontal 700 TV lines of B/W monitors represents medium level and more than 900 TV lines means high resolution in EIA system. The color monitor's horizontal resolution of 300 TV lines means medium quality and that of more than 450 TV lines means high resolution. To maximize the system's resolution, it is recommended to choose a monitor which has better resolution than that of the camera.

LPR (LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION):

LPR cameras are high-speed cameras which contains an interface with specialized computer software which is used to read the license plate numbers in the vehicles. These cameras will take a picture of the front and rear plates of the vehicle and further convert those images into computer readable data. LPR cameras are ideal for electronic toll collection, monitor border crossings, gas filling stations, traffic management, drive through customer recognition, stolen car identification and vehicle tracking etc.

LPR makes monitoring lots and vehicles more efficient and thus reduces departmental overhead. This allows the department to control parking-related costs and increase usage efficiency. A major difference between a normal CCTV and a LPR is that intelligent traffic modes built into these cameras which allow the camera to compensate for speed, weather, and headlight issues which all make it challenging to capture a usable video that identifies license plates. The number plate image which is captured with LPR HD with Night vision feature is 70 Pixels and it normally uses verifocal lens. These cameras are very much useful for Weigh bridge application too by tracking trucks as they come and go from the warehouse to monitor deliveries and pick ups.

LPR cameras are considered to be a cost-effective choice than some alternatives, like embedding transponders in cars to track them. The software technology used to back up LPR cameras is very much improved from earlier versions. In addition, LPR cameras save law enforcement manpower, because law enforcement officers no longer need to go through every single suspicious picture by hand, or lie in wait at stoplights for traffic law violators. In future possibilities are there to implement this on all signals.

CCTV CAMERAS FOR TRAFFIC USE

CCTV CAMERAS are useful for the public in many ways. Out of which one of the major concern with related to safety is traffic monitoring.  It is an extensive way of monitoring system that can easily detect congestion and notice accidents.Since road traffic become busier and more congested real-time traffic monitoring schemes are increasingly important for road users. Traffic monitoring can help to improve road network efficiency by re-routing traffic when accidents occur and minimizing delays. The success of traffic monitoring schemes is dependent on CCTV systems so surveillance must be high quality, flexible and reliable too. It helps to identify the people and vehicle who is breaking the law. Without any man power CCTV surveillance provide access to remote server and the penalty will be send to the person in the form of E-Challan in his mobile.  To monitor the road surveillance, cameras can be placed in such a way that they overlook common congestion areas and also adequate visibility and a good view of all the lanes involved.

 

Governments of many countries like UK, SINGAPORE seeing benefits of CCTV for traffic control are installing it not only for their convenience, but also to ensure the safety of the public. The Highways Agency in the UK has a public-owned network of CCTV that covers the motorway and trunk road network. Other countries that are using CCTV are the US, China, European Countries, Australia, Arab countries like UAE. In Singapore, the Expressway Monitoring and Advisory System (EMAS) is used by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to detect congestions or accidents and notify motorists of adverse traffic conditions as soon as possible. Also, red –light and speed cameras are installed to identify reckless motorists who do not abide by the traffic rules. It also acts as deterrence for motorists to keep their speed limit in check and not cause danger to other road users.

CCTV cameras for school buses are considered to be an advance technology which is more affordable than ever. Parents as well as the school management feel safer with the presence of video surveillance system since it acts as a proactive measure to improve the school bus safety for the students who are travelling. Installing CCTV cameras with GPS location will help the management to retrieve real-time information regarding the bus speed, breaking, and safety signal activation that includes the video footage of the camera both inside and outside the bus entrance and exit. Apart from all these aspects the students also realize that they are being recorded under video surveillance, which will help to improve their self-behavior on the buses. The
CCTV camera systems also provide liability protection in case there is legal action against the driver.

IPCAMERAS and WIRELESS NETWORKING play a significant role in video surveillance system, since remote reviewing and instant response has become a possible measure through immediate transmit footage facility. Including with all these safety measures the schools can also issue RFID (Radio-frequency identification) cards to the students. This system consists of a school photo ID card affixed to a lanyard that should be worn by the student. The ID has a RFID chip embedded in it which includes a digital number assigned to each student. When the student enters the school or pass beneath a doorway, the tag ID is read, recorded and sent to a server in the school’s administrative office that further helps to monitor the activity of a student inside the school.

School officials throughout the nation are held accountable by parents to ensure student safety on the buses, and by using video surveillance this security can be assured. Video surveillance systems are considered to be a long-term investment for school districts that must be periodically maintained and adjusted.
