~Avigilon Unusual Motion Detection technology
marks the next evolution in video analytics capability~
VANCOUVER, CANADA, March 28, 2017 /CNW/ - Avigilon Corporation
("Avigilon") (TSX: AVO), provider of trusted security
solutions, today announced that it will preview the new Avigilon
Unusual Motion Detection ("UMD") video analytics technology
at ISC West 2017, Sands Expo and Convention Center booth
22043, in Las Vegas, USA, from April 5 to 7,
2017.
UMD is an advanced artificial intelligence ("AI")
technology that brings a new level of automation to surveillance.
This technology is designed to continuously learn what typical
activity in the scene looks like and focus the operator's attention
on atypical events needing further investigation.
By continuously learning, UMD is able to automatically detect
unusual events, such as a vehicle moving in the wrong direction on
a road, or a crowd running in panic in a public space. This
technology enables users to quickly search through volumes of
recorded footage with ease, revealing events that might have
otherwise been missed.
"A critical mass has been reached in the volume of video data
captured today and the limits of human attention," said Dr.
Mahesh Saptharishi, Avigilon's Chief
Technology Officer. "Through the power of AI, we continue to
develop technology that better focuses human attention to what
matters most in order to dramatically increase the effectiveness of
security systems."
This technology is designed for Avigilon's complete
line of video analytics solutions. Existing customers will be able
to upgrade certain legacy products to benefit from this exciting
new technology.

respecting Avigilon's future product plans, intended product

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future

defects, and will be suitable for the intended end users; and
Avigilon will be able to attend and demonstrate the products at ISC

Although management believes that the forward-looking

different due to the risks and uncertainties associated with and

factors are beyond the control of Avigilon. Accordingly, readers
should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements.
