SensorTec developed the best-in-class airport video monitoring solution that comprises high-end visual sensors, intelligent data processing units and a complete software package. It aids airport services by Computer Vision Technologies and supplement the scene for operators with informational augmented reality elements.

The solution facilitates airports operations and prepares airports to conveniently face pressing new directives. It ensures smooth and secure ground processes and turnarounds, and plays a key role in preventing incidents and also in investigation. As a result, it enhances airport efficiency, reduces the number of costly delays, and even shortens the system’s payback period.

SensorTec airport solution is a trusted system that has been chosen already by some of the largest airports around the globe, preparing their airports for the difficulties of the new challenging era.

STAARS

SENSORTEC AIRPORT AUGMENTED REALITY SOLUTION

STAARS is an intelligent solution specifically developed for airports. It can greatly enhance security and improve efficiencies across all ground operation functions. The system helps improve operational capabilities and capacities, which includes optimizing ground operation efficiency, improving safety parameters and enhancing vision for overall observation.

STAARS FEATURES

Improve overall airport efficiency by monitoring and automatically analyzing object movements and ground processes.

Enhance airport visibility for ground controllers, airfield controllers, security operators and for any airport operation department.

Optimize ground process management and explore operational bottlenecks by bringing Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision Technologies into airside monitoring.

Increase safety of passengers, employees and assets at the airport.

Enforce airport traffic rules without extra burden on operators.

Realize access control for different types of objects at designated airport zones, using image sensors and Video Content Analysis.

Create airport statistics on area occupancy based on automatically collected data.

Make billing procedures fast, easy and accurate by automatically calculating the time that airplanes spend on the airport.

Increase situational awareness to reduce the number of incidents on the airport.

Significantly reduce the risk of incidents caused by FOD, using automatic detection methods.

Facilitate incident investigation and get irrefutable visual evidence in already occurred cases.

Optimize turnaround times and create useful statistics on ground handling efficiency.

FINANCIAL BENEFITS

Reduced Infrastructure Cost
Only few cameras are needed to cover an entire airport, as a result no need to install numerous poles. The network infrastructure is far less complex and cabling is also fast and easy.

Long Lifetime
SensorTec leading-edge technologies ensure the system avoids both physical and technological obsolescence for a long time.

Uninterrupted Operation
SensorTec provides uninterrupted system availability as all their components are developed to operate with high MTBF.

Designed To Last
SensorTec systems can withstand intense weather conditions with metal constructions and built-in heating and cooling systems.

No Need For Frequent Maintenance
SensorTec hardware components are capable of self maintenance, thanks to their built-in self-cleaning and deicing systems.

Avoiding Financial Loss By Preventing Accidents
STAARS provides computer vision technologies to prevent various incidents, which helps avoid significant financial loss.

Less Manpower
As vast airport areas can be monitored with much fewer cameras that provide far better spatial orientation for viewers and also VCA based Real-Time Decision Making Support, far less operators are needed for efficient surveillance.

Supporting Strategical Decisions
Our system supports both short-term and long-term strategical decisions by providing information on aircraft movements and turnaround processes.

VISUAL ENHANCEMENT USING

PANORAMIC CAMERAS

Even a single panoramic camera can monitor vast area. Viewing large panoramic images, users have better spatial orientation within the observed area, as the space is not split by individual images on a confusing monitor profile.

STAARS provides efficient monitoring under all occurring lighting conditions at the airport. Users can easily track airplane and ground vehicle movements throughout the airside even in bad weather conditions and also at night.

In areas that are not lit by artificial light, SensorTec Dual Vision Panoramic Cameras can be used, which has a thermal panoramic extension with up to 6MP resolution. The visible light and thermal sensor cluster observe the very same area, but they utilize different electromagnetic radiations to provide informative visual data in all circumstances.

INTELLIGENT AIRPORT CONTROL

WITH AUGMENTED REALITY

Beyond recording and displaying video streams with enormous resolution, STAARS increases the efficiency of monitoring by providing numerous intelligent functions based on Video Content Analysis.

These functions can effectively aid operations at the airport, as they are able to automatically detect and even predict several incidents, furthermore they help optimize airport processes.

Automatically generated warnings and alerts guide the attention of operators. Real-time Decision Making Support (RTDMS) intelligently optimizes the front end visualization of all signals generated in the system.

AI-BASED VCA ASSISTED AND MANUAL

TURNAROUND MANAGEMENT

Our Turnaround Management Solution is available in two versions. The first one essentially relies on full manual operator activity. The second one is an extended version, where AI-based Video Content Analysis assists in registering some of the operations.

SensorTec VCA can detect the presence and classify different objects. It can accurately track the motion of airplanes and various ground equipment. Depending on the applied resolution and chosen point of view the algorithms can detect even complex processes.
