SPYNEL

PANORAMIC DEFENSE AND SECURITY CAMERA

SPYNEL-X is a 360° panoramic camera with the highest definition on the market.
This InfraRed Search & Track system is designed to answer the military and civil surveillance needs.

The passive wide-area surveillance system Spynel-X ensures unprecedented real-time security against conventional and asymmetric threats. It gathers the latest innovations in thermal sensing into a field-proven and solid mechanical design. SPYNEL-X can replace up to 90 HD MWIR cameras on its own: one single IR camera provides 24/7 early human intrusion detections over a 18km-diameter area, with a resolution of 120Mpix.

The passive wide-area surveillance system Spynel-X ensures unprecedented real-time security against conventional and asymmetric threats. It gathers the latest innovations in thermal sensing into a field-proven and solid mechanical design.

SPYNEL-X can replace up to 90 HD MWIR cameras on its own: one single IR camera provides 24/7 early human intrusion detections over a 16km-diameter area, with a resolution of 120Mpix.

Equipped with our Cyclope advanced threat detection software, the 360° IR camera allows early target discrimination over extremely wide areas, at night, during the day, whatever the weather. An unlimited number of tracks are simultaneously detected and identified; no exception is made for hardly detectable threats like swimmers, RIBs, low altitude air targets, UAVs or stealth aircrafts.

SPYNEL-X is the topmost solution for wide area surveillance, continuous perimeter security and critical infrastructure protection, but also military applications such as FOB protection, or self-protection of ships.

GAIA: automatic threats classification based on Artificial Intelligence

Integrated into the SPYNEL long-distance surveillance solutions, the newest GAIA Artificial Intelligence processing features unique capabilities in the market in terms of automatic classification of objects within panoramic thermal images. The AI module makes use of three patent-pending neuronal networks designed to recognize patterns for maritime, land and air surveillance applications. The automatic classification is operational at long-distance, on a very wide range of land and sea targets, from just a few pixels to very large objects.

The unique combination of GAIA Artificial Intelligence with Cyclope video analytics provides advanced detection, tracking and classification of any kind of threats. Whilst the use of Artificial Intelligence drastically lowers false alarm rate for wide area surveillance applications, it improves human decision efficiency and decreases the use of operational means.

From detection to classification : the 4 steps of the GAIA process

Artificial Intelligence main benefits

  • False alarm rate highly reduced
  • Custom parameters easy and quick to set up
  • Real-time information
  • Improve reliability
  • Facilitate human decision
  • Reduces the human resources costs (security crews)

Gaïa key features

  • First threat appearance detection and classification with no latency
  • Support any kind of threat size: from few pixels to very large objects
  • Any distance detection: short, medium and long range
  • Stationnary and/or moving objects detection
  • Alarm confirmations:
    • Very fast moving objects
    • Short range
    • Discontinuous visibility due to obstacles (foliage, trees…)
  • Very low false alarm rate in complex conditions:
    • Moving vegetation,
    • Animals,
    • High sea state,
    • Sun glints…
  • Improved target range assessment
  • Multiple classes available: human, vehicle, buoy, RIB, sailing ship…
  • Ability to detect humans in any position and/or partially hidden objects
  • Scalable customizable algorithm :
    • New classes (required for a specific Customer application)
    • Algorithm optimization

Alarm management Module

Automatic threats classification according to multiple conditions (GAIA classification, dimensions, trend, intensity, speed, trajectory, target class, size, virtual fence crossing, distance…)

Automatic Alarms to trigger specific actions (recording, email, XML, specific bookmark…)

GAIA Artificial Intelligence is boosted by the I2Q image processing library allowing to achieve superior day/night image quality whatever the environmental conditions. I2Q image processing includes multiple algorithms to improve user experience such as sun glint reduction, smart denoising, local contrast image enhancement and more.
