Analytics on CCTV camera for the security sector
There are several types of image analytics solutions that can run on CCTV camera feeds. Here are some examples:
Object detection: can detect and track objects within the camera's field of view, such as people, vehicles, or animals. It can also classify them like identifying a car make or model.
Facial recognition: can recognize and identify individuals based on their facial features. It can be used for security purposes, such as identifying known criminals or suspects.
Crowd analysis: can analyze crowd behavior - counting the number of people in a specific area or detecting unusual behavior.
License plate recognition: can read and recognize license plates on vehicles, used for traffic enforcement or parking management.
Video analytics: can analyze video footage in real-time or post-event, identifying suspicious activities, or abnormal behaviors.
Perimeter protection: is used to detect intrusion by analyzing the movements in the boundary of the camera view.
These image analytics solutions can be used for a range of applications, including security, surveillance, traffic management, and retail analytics; CCTV camera feeds can provide valuable insights improving safety and security in public spaces or facilities.
What factors impact analytics output negatively?
Poor image quality: Low quality cameras with noise or blur, lead to reduced accuracy in identifying or detecting objects or people.
Camera positioning: The positioning of the camera can also affect the accuracy of analytics.
Lighting conditions: If lighting conditions are poor - low light or bright sunlight - the camera may not be able to capture clear images.
Crowded or congested scenes: When there are many objects or people, it can be difficult for analytics solutions to accurately identify or track specific objects or individuals.
Changing scenes: If the camera's field of view is constantly changing, such as in a moving vehicle or in a busy street, it can be difficult for analytics solutions to track objects or people accurately.
False alarms: Analytics solutions may generate false alarms or notifications, such as when the system mistakenly identifies an object or person as suspicious or dangerous.
Which analytics running on CCTV camera feed need image stitching?
Crowd analysis may need image stitching from multiple cameras.
Traffic analysis to monitor flow and detect congestion or accidents.
Perimeter protection from intrusions along a perimeter or fence line.
Site & urban planning may need image stitching to create a comprehensive view of a site or location.
In general, any application that requires a larger or panoramic view of a scene can benefit from image stitching. However, it's important to note that image stitching can be computationally intensive and requires significant processing power, which may limit its use in certain applications or environments.
What StereoStitch can do for you:
- High-quality digital image/video stitching
- Real-time processing
- Edge processing
- Solution when computational power is reduced
Robotic inventory management for the retail sector

Wide angle view for better situational awareness
Examples:
- “See-through” military armoured vehicle for the defence sector.
- Under-vehicle inspection for the security sector.
- Around vehicle inspection for the car hire sector.
A wide-angle view can be achieved in two ways:
- Using a camera lens with a larger-than-usual field of view.
OR
- Using multiple cameras with standard lenses and stitching the images taken by those cameras.
This wider view allows the camera to capture more of the surrounding environment, providing better situational awareness.
In applications such as surveillance and security, a wide-angle view can be especially useful, as it allows operators to monitor larger areas and detect potential threats more quickly.
Wide-angle views can also be beneficial in other applications, such as in automotive safety systems or in navigation systems for drones and other autonomous vehicles.
Success Factors
Our services drive succes of high-quality wide-angle view imagery by assisting our clients improving:
Lens quality: The quality of the lens is critical; lenses with low distortion and sharp focus can help ensure clear and accurate images.
Sensor quality: High-resolution sensors with good dynamic range and color depth can help ensure accurate and detailed images.
Lighting conditions: Adequate lighting is necessary to ensure the image is well-exposed and free from noise and other artifacts.
Image processing: It requires techniques such as distortion correction, noise reduction, and image sharpening.
Camera placement: It is essential to position the camera in such a way that minimizes obstructions and other sources of distortion.
Calibration: Proper calibration (focus, exposure and other parameters) of the camera and lens are crucial for accurate and consistent image quality over time.
Remote operations of robots and vehicles
Robotic remote operations involve the use of various types of robots, including ground-based, aerial, and underwater robots, among others. These robots can be controlled by operators who are located at a remote location, such as a control room or a command center, using advanced communication technologies such as satellite links or wireless networks.
Exploration of remote or hazardous environments, such as deep-sea environments, volcanic areas...
Inspection and monitoring of infrastructure such as bridges, pipelines, power lines, and even as nuclear power plants.
Search and rescue operations to locate and rescue people in hazardous or inaccessible areas.
