Critical infrastructure protection software

ST-SENS is an “all-in-one” software suite for supervision and management of various optronic sensors, radars (ground FMCW, maritime…), or acoustic. It represents the convergence point of sensors network to ensure automatic monitoring and complete protection of ground and maritime sites, 7/24/365.
ST-SENS steers (analyses?) targets detected by radars, displays, and records video streams from various optronic cameras and directs them according to various modes: manual control, patrol with image analysis, positioning on track, and tracking (using radar signature or video analysis). This software suite includes the following modules:

Control module
Radar module
Tracking module
VCA module

Video analysis / tracking (Tracking module and VIGISENS-VCA module)

Image analysis on preset locations (with various criteria) and loop,
Real-time target tracking by video analysis.

Events management

Hardware (IBIT) events database management,
Alarm events database management (video analysis, radar detection…),
Replay functionality (videos and metadata).

Radar module

Radar module is able to drive various radar devices and is part of the ST-SENS software suite. It enables to configure and supervize surveillance situations from a geo-referenced map and to set up radar devices. Radar module interfaces with control module to ensure overlay of video with radar tracks

Situations setup

Way Points Import from GPS equipment (GPX files).
Geo referencing map using singular GPS points.
Camera location and/or radar settings and associated fine tuning.
Complex object creation (several radars and cameras managed jointly on a mast, a trailer or a vehicle) and complex events management.
Intrusion and exclusion zones setting.
« Dead » zones setting to ignore irrelevant tracks.
Alarms and triggers for tracking targets by zone.
Time slots setting for alarm triggering.
Setup modification possible with way points.

Radar tracks management

Radar setting and control – TCP/IP link.
Radar lobe display on the map (automatic reading of the radar features during the connexion: coverage, orientation, inclination).
Target tracking and displaying, target state management according to surveillance zones.
Target exclusion outside the radar lobe.
Target display persistence after disappearance with adjustable duration.
Centralized management of radar presets according to weather conditions with user friendly controls (radar by radar or for the entire configuration).

Target tracking

TCP/IP communication by socket with the camera control software control tracking
Several target tracking strategies: monitoring of the most recent track, the closest or all alternately
Camera azimuth adjustment on reference points.
Representation of camera field of view: orientation and angle view.
Manually target designation on map.
Distance filters to ignore target beyond a desired tracking distance.
Speed filter to ignore target out of velocity range.
Live camera selection for one or more devices to follow a selected target.
Automatic zoom centering on new detected target.

Tracking module

Tracking module is a module of the ST-SENS software suite assisting Sensortec vision systems to automate target tracking.Tracking module is a module of the ST-SENS software suite assisting Sensortec vision systems to automate target tracking.

Available features

Digital image stabilization,
Moving targets tracking on stable background (sky, sea, etc), with con servation of the tracking trajectory on complex background (fast boat tracking, UAV, plane),
