Field User Evaluation of Standoff Facial Recognition and Automated Registration
Abstract
The Tactical Analysis of Video Imagery (TAVI) system is a real-time video analysis, face recognition, and human activity recognition system. People detected near the same time and in the same area can be connected by the software, and these connections are analyzed with social network analytical tools to determine the affiliations of the monitored people. The payoff is to produce a system deployable at Forward Operating Bases (FOB) which will be supported by two wide-area surveillance cameras mounted on portable masts to look at an overview of the area, as well as four pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras mounted on rugged tripods at the corners of each FOB. The wide-area and PTZ cameras work together to provide automated tracking and face recognition of observed targets at distances up to 40 meters. In addition, two long range, manually controlled cameras are provided for extending facial recognition range to 100 meters. The outcome of this project is a stand-off force protection capability and operational test data to inform future investments.
