The Project

Hitachi Vantara developed a mobile screening station including a thermal camera for temperature sensing and a face level visual spectrum camera used with intuVision VA Face Detection to detect people who are not wearing face masks. This station is used at the building entrances to ensure the safety of the employees and the customers

Hitachi Vantara Labs is an R&D and innovation facility, with top industry experts evaluating and developing solutions for the most challenging problems using innovative approaches and technologies.

The Solution - intuVision VA Hybrid

A hybrid deployment of intuVision VA for primary vehicle counting and intuVision Edge as the camera embedded vehicle counting as the backup provided a flexible solution.

With nearly 20 years of expertise in video analytics, intuVision initially developed algorithms for maritime environments focused on security applications. While intuVision VA Security continues to serve secure facilities, an increasing number of cities and local governments are now utilizing intuVision VA for data collection purposes.

The Project

Hitachi Vantara Smart Spaces & Video Intelligence group has deployed intuVision VA Face Detection as part of their mobile face mask screening station. This station is designed to be used at the entrances of buildings to run random safety checks to monitor employees' and customers’ faces as they enter the facility. The screening station issues an alarm when it detects a person not wearing a face mask. Running entirely on Hitachi hardware on the mobile station intuVision VA Face provides an automated and nonintrusive screening while also reminding people of the face mask requirement. intuVision VA Face logs the faces detected without a mask and creates a record of employees who do not follow safety guidelines.

intuVision VA was easily integrated to mobile station using intuVision Web API, the face mask detection results are directly ingested into Hitachi’s dashboard application – providing a turnkey solution.
