Gigapixel Wide Area Surveillance


Overview

Gigapixel Wide Area Surveillance (GWAS) is an advanced optical array designed to monitor hundreds of acres from a single high resolution surveillance platform. While traditional surveillance solutions require many cameras, multiple operators, and large infrastructure investments Gigapixel consolidates this capability into a single platform. Through the highly intuitive user interface and network connectivity the system simultaneously supports video walls, workstation touch screens, and mobile laptops. By leveraging a 16 megapixel visible light camera and optional VGA thermal imager the system supports

 

day, night, and low visibility operations while offering the highest optical advantage commercially available.
Continuous horizontal and vertical scanning of the Panoramic Array collects high resolution images from the visible and optional thermal sensors for enhancement and motion analysis. Through an intelligent stitching process a seamless panoramic image is continuously refreshed with a high resolution deep-zoom image for monitoring and playback. If the operator requires higher frame rates on a particular area of the scene the panoramic array can transition to manual Pan/Tilt/Zoom mode.

 

Precision Array with Video Analytics Engine

When equipped with the optional Precision Array operators have the added advantage of dedicated real-time visible light and thermal cameras capable of manual Pan/Tilt/Zoom control. ThePrecision Array incorporates a highly sophisticated video analytics engine (VAE) capable of map based geo-tracking and classification of humans, vehicles, aircraft, and vessels. With each automated map update objects are visual depicted on a map with latitude, longitude, and altitude reference data and can be selected for real-time tracking by the precision array.
