Avoiding the cancer of False Alarms
The most significant challenge with any sensor based analytics system is the false alarm rate.Does one have to sacrifice the accuracy of the system to minimize false alarms?Every iOmniscient system is armed with an AI module called NAMS (Nuisance Alarm Minimization System). It understands what is a real alarm and differentiates it from extraneous noise.In a recent trial, six companies were asked to deliver a particular solution. It was a complex environment but all could deliver the alarms required with a 100% accuracy. However, over the seven-day trial involving 15 cameras, the iOmniscient system generated one false alarm. The second best system generated 200 false alarms per camera day.This is what makes iOmniscient systems stand out in the ocean of AI based analytics companies that have sprung up in recent times.#AlarmAccuracy #NuisanceAlarmMinimization #NAMS #HighAccuracyAI #OperationalEfficiency #SecurityAnalytics #SmartSurveillance #AutonomousMonitoring #PerformanceDriven #ReliableAI #CrowdedEnvironmentAI #IntelligentDetection #AIForSecurity #MeasurableOutcomes #WildFacesContact us at https://iomni.ai/contact-us/WEBSITE: https://iomni.ai/Facebook | Linkedin | Twitter | Youtube

The Nipah Virus…being prepared for the next pandemic
It has been widely reported that a new virus, named Nipah, has been identified in India. It has a very high fatality rate and there is no vaccine for it yet. Airport in South East Asia are already on high alert as one infected person entering the country could set off a new pandemic.Does this mean that we have to go back to having multiple doormen with individual thermal cameras checking people for infection as they enter their work places? Does it mean that, yet again, every resident of an aged care facility needs to be checked before they enter the dining room?That won’t be necessary. iOmniscient’s IQ-FeverCheck system, which proved so effective during the COVID pandemic, is still available. It can detect the temperatures of infected people at long distances in a crowded environment and make authorities aware of their presence.We have it NOW. Be prepared and make sure your work environment is safe.#NipahVirus #PandemicPreparedness #PublicHealthSafety #AirportSecurity #InfectionDetection #EarlyDetection #HealthSecurity #BioSurveillance #FeverScreening #ThermalDetection #CrowdMonitoring #SmartAirports #AgedCareSafety #WorkplaceSafety #CrisisReadiness #AutonomousSystems #MultiSensoryAI #EthicalAI #AIForHealthcare #FutureReady #FeverCheck #iOmniscientContact us at https://iomni.ai/contact-us/WEBSITE: https://iomni.ai/Facebook | Linkedin | Twitter | Youtube

Comprehensive iOmniscient’s IQ-Roads Suite
iOmniscient’s IQ-Roads Suite is the most comprehensive Road Management Portfolio of capabilities in the industry. These include✔ Traffic Monitoring ✔ Traffic Incident Management ✔ Law Enforcement ✔ Adaptive Traffic Optimization ✔ Pedestrian Safety ✔ Kerbside Parking Management ✔ Autonomous Response for Emergency Services ✔ Environment Management ✔ Infrastructure/ Asset ManagementAll of these behaviours are complemented by its highly accurate License Plate Recognition and a Make and Model recognition system.iOmniscient’s systems have been implemented in 70 countries and many of its systems continue to run effectively even after two decades of operation.Predicting CongestionWhen congestion is detected unexpectedly, it is also necessary to understand the cause so that it can be mitigated. Causes can vary from double parked vehicles and debris that may have fallen off trucks to accidents. Often these causes are obscured for periods of time by other passing vehicles.Road Infrastructure can also get damaged or be faulty. Signs and railings may be damaged by vehicles colliding with them. Traffic Lights may malfunction.iOmniscient can detect the various incidents that result in congestion even when the incident itself is obscured for up to 50% of the time. It can then use this information to predict potential congestion.Alerting the traffic authorities as soon as the incident occurs can help emergency services to clear up the cause and in many instances avoid the congestion from eventuating.Autonomous ResponseWhen an incident occurs it is pointless to send the alert to a control room and expect a human to receive the alert and respond to it in a timely manner. Studies show that a human watching just two monitors will miss half the action after 10 minutes and see virtually nothing after 22 minutes.iOmniscient’s Autonomous response system, ASAP, will understand the event and find the nearest appropriate responder and tell them where to go and what to do.In projects around the world the ASAP system has reduced Emergency Response times by 80% — contributing significantly to congestion reduction.Law EnforcementRoads are safe to use when road users obey the laws that have been enacted to keep them safe.The iOmniscient system provides multiple applications to help enforce the law. These include:Red Light Violation DetectionSpeed DetectionAverage Speed Detection.Detection of vehicles travelling in incorrect lanesDetection of Drivers not wearing seatbeltsDetection of Drivers using Mobile PhonesThe penalties generated by such systems can quickly pay for the entire system.iOmniscient is willing to enter Public Private Partnerships to enable government agencies to implement such systems without incurring any capital expense.License Plate Recognition/ Make & Model RecognitioniOmniscient’s License Plate Recognition system is officially rated as having an accuracy of 99.5%. However, during two recent three month trials for 2 different Police Agencies, the system delivered 100% accuracy at speeds of over 200 kph.The system can read plates from 130 countries even when the plates are in languages such as Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Thai or Arabic and can read odd shaped plates (including triangular ones) and read details of the state or district that issued the plates.It carries the Dubai Police (SIRA) Certification.The system is complemented with an accurate Make and Model Recognition system.Contact us at https://iomni.ai/contact-us/WEBSITE: https://iomni.ai/Facebook | Linkedin | Twitter | Youtube

Understanding real pollution levels in Cities
The Bureau of Meteorology usually provides information on the average pollution level in every major city but this is based on readings at their observatory at one or two locations in the city.Now cities can know where the pollution hot spots are with iOmniscient’s inexpensive e-Nose. Knowing where the pollution is concentrated allows them to take mitigating action.Graffiti Detection pays for itselfThe e-Nose can also help authorities to detect Graffiti as the smell of the spray paint can be picked up in real time even if there are no cameras around. Combined with iOmniscient’s ASAP system which can immediately find the appropriate responder and tell them where to go and what to do, the actions of graffiti artists, painting unwanted graffiti can be ameliorated.In one city in the UK, they were able to stop graffiti on their buildings overnight using iOmniscient technology when the vandals realized that they would be caught red handed.Removing graffiti is expensive and unnecessary. The cost of detection can be easily justified based on elimination of the cost of cleaning up after the event.Debris on the Road can be dangerousThings fall off trucks all the time and debris from accidents often litter the roads. These items are dangerous to motorists but are not easily seen by humans in control rooms or even by traditional video analytics systems because they are often obscured by passing vehicles.However, iOmniscient’s ability to detect objects like that despite obscuration from time to time, ensures that such dangers on the road can be detected and removed in a timely manner.If the system can prevent one accident, it can pay for itself.Waste ManagementCities generate large quantities of waste and this has to be processed and disposed off by local government councils.Waste processing can often result in bad smells being emanated from the plant and if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction, these can cause discomfort to the neighbouring residents.iOmniscient’s e-Nose can detect the level of these nasty smells and make management aware if certain smell thresholds are reached at their boundaries to allow them to take mitigating actions to ensure that the neighbours are not exposed to unbearable smells.Contact us at https://iomni.ai/contact-us/WEBSITE: https://iomni.ai/Facebook | Linkedin | Twitter | Youtube

iOmniscient’s ASAP reduces response time by 80%
If you have your leg under a truck in a road accident, it certainly helps if the ambulance can arrive 20 minutes sooner.And that outcome has been achieved in a number of the 75 Smart Cities where iOmniscient’s Autonomous Response System, ASAP, has been implemented.With ASAP, the system understands what the cameras and other sensors have seen, heard and smelt and then it autonomously finds the appropriate responders. If there is an accident the system will locate the nearest police car based on its GPS location and tell it where to go and what to do. If a vehicle is on fire it would call the Fire BrigadeTypically, ASAP reduces the average response time in an emergency by 80% by eliminating the need for human involvement in the triage process.Of course, the central control room still has the ability to override decisions made by the system but for the majority of cases, the system can decide for itself, relieving the load on the operators in the control room. They have continuous visibility on everything that is happening as the ASAP system provides them with a Map View showing the incident and all the emergency services involved as well as live sensor feeds from all the available sensors in the area.See video hereSafety for Road ConstructionTraffic authorities and Local Councils are continuously involved in repair and construction work on roads and safety is always the primary focus in such situations.iOmniscient’s IQ-Construction pack can help improve safety through a number of capabilities. It can: ✓ Ensure that all workers are wearing their protective gear at all times. ✓ Raise an alert if a worker walks into an unsafe area — eg near some heavy equipment. ✓ Identify hazards — such as wet areas. ✓ Detect if there is an accident such as a person slipping and falling. ✓ Smell gas leaksThe system can also improve productivity by:✓ Understanding when trucks with materials arrive at the site and how long they spend there. ✓ Managing access for workers and visitors. ✓ Recording progress of work at the site. ✓ Doing predictive maintenance and knowing when critical equipment might fail.See video hereCalculating the ROI for your SystemIt does not make sense to spend money installing systems if one is unsure of the Return on Investment that can be achieved.
