Espoo, Finland - Nokia today
announced that Room40, a company specializing in context aware and
audio security monitoring analytics solutions, has adopted Nokia
Scene Analytics in its video and audio security monitoring
analytics solution to increase security and safety in various sites
across Belgium. The solution will use machine-learning algorithms
to identify anomalies in thousands of simultaneous streams of
video, audio and sensor information, and flag incidents in
real-time.
Highway service stations are often the site of
vandalism, theft and coordinated drug and human trafficking. The
cost of 24/7 video and audio monitoring, either by personnel or
software, is prohibitively expensive. Room40 and Vias Institute,
the Belgian knowledge center for road safety and security, are
jointly tackling this issue on Belgian highways and other public
spaces using the Nokia Scene Analytics solution. The same solutions
will also become available for construction companies to monitor
productivity and safety on site.
Typically, up to 99 percent of video, audio and
sensor data is normal behavior. The Nokia Scene Analytics software
uses machine-learning to establish what is 'normal', enabling it to
track and record only irregular behavior that might be connected to
safety or security incidents. This reduces the amount of data to
process and more quickly and efficiently alerts personnel to
incidents. It is also capable of extracting information from older,
low-resolution CCTV cameras, as well as audio and other IoT
sensors, which protects investment and lowers costs.
Harald Oymans, CEO and co-founder
of Room40, said: "In a world that changes so drastically almost
every minute, it is of the utmost importance to be able to see
what's really there. Scenario based patterns only provide insight
in what was, not in what is. The self-learning capability of Nokia
Scene Analytics enhances true insight in what's really there,
therefore enhancing the existing knowledge base with new
information based patterns, which in turn enable the collection of
the really needed data. In short, Nokia Scene Analytics
enables true insights in a quickly changing world without any human
assumptions, and in doing so it enables the structural growth of
knowledge."
Josee Loudiadis, Vice President Enterprise Analytics and IoT,
said: "Real-life situations require an intelligent platform
that can proactively detect, select, and track only relevant video
streams for a variety of surveillance tasks. An important element
of our Future X for industries strategy, the Nokia Scene Analytics
software is a game-changing solution to the problem of security
monitoring and will have wide-ranging applications in many other
smart city and industrial applications. We are very proud to work
with Room40 and VIAS to develop this security solution and help
make Belgian highway service stations safer."

About Nokia Scene
Analytics
Nokia Scene Analytics analyzes motion flow to
detect anomalies and combines this with deep learning to deliver
enhanced detection capabilities. Scene Analytics is built
upon Nokia Bell Labs World Wide Streams (WWS) which processes these
computer vision algorithms in real-time. Unlike many security
solutions that have to be programmed to recognize security
scenarios, Scene Analytics' ML software can learn what is normal.
This gives it the ability to identify anomalous behavior that might
not be anticipated by scenario-based (deep learning only)
solutions. Room 40 will leverage existing Nokia algorithms, but
will also be able to develop their own algorithms and integrate
them into the product.
