IPS5000 Image Processing Subsystem
Designed to deliver superior situational awareness
Leveraging the company's market leading expertise in video tracking to enable substantially superior situational awareness solutions to be developed, Octec, part of GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms announces the IPS5000 image processing subsystem. Designed to interface with a wide range of physical sensors, IPS5000 is available for both fixed security installations and for military in-vehicle deployment.
IPS5000 has been developed in response to growing recognition of the difficulties posed by information overload in situational awareness, where multiple disparate information feeds - in which the inter-relationships between sensors is not always obvious - are delivered to banks of monitors. This creates the possibility of information overload, confusion and suboptimal reaction times on the part of operators who are often fatigued or stressed.
