Ambient Vision is building leading edge machine vision and image processing systems for applications across a variety of business sectors. These systems are inspired by recent advances in understanding visual processing in the brain.

Incorporating neural mechanisms present in the brain can lead to huge improvements in robustness for demanding real-world tasks.

We are developing machine vision technologies to tackle a range of industrial challenges. These include, for example, smart CCTV that can spot people trespassing on railway tracks, body-tracking software for digital entertainment, and ground penetrating radar that detects landmines and other buried munitions. We are happy to discuss potential new applications with partners.

Rail companies around the world suffer from unauthorised persons trespassing on railway tracks. Ambient Vision is tackling this global problem by developing smart CCTV, employing advanced image processing, which can automate the detection of trespassers.

People may be taking shortcuts, stealing or vandalising rail infrastructure, or sadly attempting suicide. In all cases, trespassing can lead to major disruption to rail networks. This creates stress for delayed passengers and may add significant cost to the rail company’s operations.

Ambient Vision's smart CCTV can inform human security operators in real time about the presence of trespassers on or nearby railway tracks. Our monitoring technology can be tailored to the individual requirements of any rail company.
