SAFR from RealNetworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: RNWK) today announced a
global partnership with German tech company G2K Group GmbH to
revolutionize real-time video analytics. SAFR features including
face recognition, mask detection, person detection, and demographic
analysis have been integrated into Parsifal — a robust AI platform
providing actionable video analytics for verticals such as retail,
transportation, smart cities, and sports and entertainment. SAFR’s
mask detection and Parsifal’s contactless body temperature scan
were key features that won G2K a contract from the Union of
European Football Associations (UEFA) to provide entry screening
for spectators attending the Super Cup Final 2020.
“SAFR from RealNetworks’ partnership with G2K Group is
characterized by the innovation, quality, and professionalism of
both companies. SAFR’s computer vision features add critical data
to the Parsifal platform enhancing the overall video analytics
offering and unlocking new customer use cases such as mask
detection,” said Jose Larrucea, SVP EMEA & LATAM at
RealNetworks.
SAFR’s high performance on live video makes it a natural fit for
integration into Parsifal, which relies on actionable real-time
insights to improve general surveillance, behavioral predictions,
access control, and response to COVID-19 health and safety
measures.
The first major deployment of Parsifal featuring SAFR was in
September at the UEFA Super Cup Final 2020 in Budapest, where a
partial return of fans was tested under guidelines by the Hungarian
Public Health Authorities. The SAFR-enabled Parsifal platform
enabled more than 15,000 spectators to return to the stadium under
the required health and safety conditions.
Parsifal was deployed on cameras at each entry, performing
rapid, automated fever scanning and mask detection while alerting
attendants of any anomalies. According to Andreas Schaer, Chief of
Venue Operations for UEFA, the automated screening technology
deployed by G2K helped UEFA and the Hungarian Football Federation
deliver a safe and secure major football event with public
attendance for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic
began.
“The cooperation with SAFR has reached its next stage with the
very successful project with UEFA for the Super Cup Final 2020. The
use of SAFR's highly accurate mask detection algorithm strengthened
the overall Parsifal solution, making it better able to serve
customers dealing with the realities of a global pandemic. G2K is
looking forward to many more projects and further strengthening its
prosperous partnership with SAFR,” said Georg Rennenkampff, G2K VP
Partnership Management.
