Seoul Robotics Debuts 3D Plug-In with Milestone Systems XProtect VMS

Seoul Robotics
With the Sensor for Security plug-in, companies like Milestone System can augment existing camera-based systems with an additional dimension of data, making these highly accurate 3D-based systems more accessible and cost-effective to implement.

Seoul Robotics, a 3D computer vision company building a perception platform that uses AI and deep learning to power the future of mobility, robotics and smart cities, and a Finalist in the 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, has announced the company’s SENSR plug-in now integrates with Milestone Systems XProtect® Video Management Software (VMS), which was recognized in the 2018 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program.

SENSR™ for Security is the first-of-its-kind deep learning software application able to create flexible, scalable 3D data solutions for the security market.

The first non-proprietary 3D software application on the market, SENSR for Security is compatible with more than 75 different brands and models of sensors, making it highly versatile, additionally, a single solution can even comprise a variety of different sensors from multiple manufacturers within one system, a first for the industry.

The SENSR™ for Security solution is powered by Seoul Robotics’ proprietary deep learning software platform, and works in tandem with 3D data collected by LiDAR sensors.

LiDAR systems are most commonly known for their use within the autonomous vehicle industry to give a vehicle sight, however, the core mechanics of the technology, detection, classification, and tracking, are incredibly beneficial to other industries, including security.

Unlike camera systems, LiDAR is an anonymous technology that does not collect biometric data and ensures no personal information is ever compromised.

Seoul Robotics has built learning models from the ground up that continually improve the ability of the system to detect and classify up to 500 unique objects at one time, including people, vehicles, and cyclists.

These advanced detection and classification capabilities allow those who deploy SENSR for Security to gain broader visibility while significantly reducing the number of false alarms for security systems to near-zero.

With the integration of the plug-in, Milestone VMS users will have access to both 2D and 3D visuals within the XProtect dashboard, enabling a deeper understanding of activity within defined spaces while minimizing the number of false positives.

This is a breakthrough plug-in for the XProtect platform, making 3D computer vision and its corresponding 3D sensors like LiDAR more affordable and accessible to camera integrators while bringing a heightened dimension of visibility.

SENSR is non-proprietary and highly flexible, compatible with more than 75 different brands and models of sensors, and can operate with multiple types of sensors in one cohesive system.

Now, with this plug-in, these systems can be seamlessly incorporated into XProtect 2D video-based security systems, combining both 2D and 3D insights into one dashboard.

This integration enables users to create highly customized “zones,” a defined area for sensors and cameras to track and detect objects, occupancy, movement, and speed.

These zones and movements are reflected on a map in the XProtect platform so system managers can view live activity, change zones, and calibrate LiDAR sensors.

If a violation is detected, the system will automatically set off an alarm and alert the appropriate contacts. Customers can also access and download intuitive reports of behavioral data, both historical and in real-time, in the XProtect dashboard.

“At Milestone, we pride ourselves on our industry-leading video management system for security, and one critical component to this is having an open platform that is accessible and customizable for customers,” explains Haider Muhammed, Community Sales Middle East, North Africa & Turkey at Milestone Systems.

“Seoul Robotics is the ideal 3D deep learning partner because they also rely on an open software platform.”

“By leveraging the SENSR plug-in along with the Milestone XProtect VMS, our customers will be able to simultaneously gather 2D and 3D insights to ensure safety and security.”

Earlier this year, Seoul Robotics introduced SENSR 2.2, the most advanced version of its patented 3D perception software to date.

SENSR 2.2 is the first 3D perception software on the market leveraging deep learning and can detect and track over 500 objects simultaneously and with an accuracy range of within 10 cm, including objects that are partially obstructed, fast-moving, or clustered together.

These capabilities can provide valuable insights into capacity, movement, and speed.

“Seoul Robotics was founded with the goal of bringing 3D data to the masses by making it scalable and affordable to adopt,” added HanBin Lee, CEO of Seoul Robotics.

“Now that SENSR is integrated with XProtect, we are further accelerating the adoption of 3D systems in industries like security that will benefit from this additional dimension of data and solve complex problems.”

“Deep learning enables the most comprehensive and accurate 3D insights, and we are proud to be the first 3D deep learning partner for Milestone.”

Seoul RoboticsSeoul Robotics is seeing tremendous global interest in adopting this system, and is currently deploying its SENSR for Security solution with a number of government agencies and private organizations, including mines, airports, and event spaces.

The company has partnered with OEMs, system integrators, and government agencies around the world to diversify the use of 3D sensors and data.

‘The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America’

The 2019 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Luncheon featured an impassioned and compelling keynote address by William (Bill) Bratton, former police commissioner of the NYPD twice, the BPD, and former chief of the LAPD, on the history of policing in America focused on the evolution of critical communication capabilities in our post 9/11 landscape.

The epic, transformative career of Bill Bratton, legendary police commissioner and police reformer, in Boston, Los Angeles, and New York When Bill Bratton became a Boston street cop after returning from serving in Vietnam, he was dismayed by the corrupt old guard, and it is fair to say the old guard was dismayed by him too.

The Profession presents not only a fascinating and colorful life at the heights of law enforcement leadership, but the vision for the future of American policing that we sorely need.
