International. Axis Communications has announced the global availability of three integrations that use Axis device metadata to enable forensic search investigations in the associated video management systems Milestone XProtect® and Siemens Siveillance Video.
Each of the integrations streamlines the search for objects or events in a scene using metadata sent from Axis devices. Researchers can identify a single incident from video stream files, reducing analysis time from hours to minutes or seconds.
The three forensic search integrations:
- AXIS Optimizer forensic search based on metadata about the movement of objects in a scene
- AXIS Optimizer forensic search using AXIS Object Analytics object classification metadata
- Classification of open objects ONVIF Profile M using AXIS Object Analytics metadata
The first two offerings listed above are available globally through AXIS Optimizer.
Motion-based integration enables searches of video recordings based on moving objects, people, and events in a scene. It is ideal for investigations that begin with a minimal number of known details, for example, when the only known detail is the location of an incident.
AXIS Optimizer's object classification-based forensic search integration adapts to searches that involve a wider range of known details about objects or people in a scene. Based on the metadata generated within Axis cameras with deep learning processing units, a group of pixels can classify objects using more refined description types or attributes. For example: a specific type of vehicle (car, truck, bicycle, etc.).
Axis' metadata offering is also available as a native integration within Centralized Search for Milestone and Siemens Siveillance Video. Launched in June 2021 with AXIS OS 10.6, the offering is supported by a wide and growing range of AXIS products that meet ONVIF's M Profile.
