Development of a system for 360-degree visual security

Semper Fortis Ltd is a company with established business in the field of audit and risk management services. Building on its substantial experience and thorough research of the security and risk management market, the company team concluded that there is a need on global level for developing a technology for automatic identification of people and other 3-D objects with known features offering the possibility to complete the recognition process from body parts and from various angles. Following this, the company formed a multidisciplinary team in partnership with the University of Library Studies and Information Technologies (UNIBIT) aiming to create a new product – a system for 360-degree visual security. The system classifies as a world-class innovation as it offers a qualitatively new method for identification of people and other objects through three-dimensional (optical and infrared) scanning. This will provide a much wider set of recognition features compared to the conventional methods for facial recognition which are currently used in security structures. This will be a completely automated process (scanning, processing and archiving of big data, 3-D modelling, recognition and notification) of interaction between specialized hardware and a set of algorithmic and semantic solutions which will service the communication and responds to different queries (search, comparison, etc.). The project falls under the priority area "Robotics and Process Automation" of ISIS "Mechatronics and Clean Technologies" thematic area. The project implementation envisages the employment of 9 experts to create the product architecture, develop and test its functionalities, and demonstrate a prototype in a relevant environment (TRL 6). The project activities will take place in the town of Pleven, where a laboratory will be equipped to carry out the research and development works. The estimated project costs are BGN 650 434.48.
