Abstract: A system and method for more accurate recognition of adherence to social distancing regulations in image data. A curated dataset of surveillance footage is used that shows people at a variety of angles at a wide variety of distances. The videos of this dataset are annotated and a second, numeric dataset is created as input into various classical machine learning models. The trained model is tested on more annotated data and shows a noticeable improvement over the other attempted methods. The resulting analytics allows for accurate distinction between pairs of people that are at least 6 feet apart and pairs of people that are not. This method utilizes a random forest machine learning model to improve on the Euclidean method that measures distance between human detection centroids in the 2-dimensional target image.

Abstract: A system and method for concealing a threat detection system in planter boxes. Hiding the threat detection systems in planters provides a covert way of weapon detection. The planters are aesthetically pleasing and do not interfere visually with the environment in which they are deployed. This provides a commercial advantage for clients specifically in casinos, hotels, stadiums, where the visual environment is of importance. A system and method for visual threat confirmation or rejection using object recognition when the location of a threat and the possibility of a threat have been identified by other means.

Abstract: A system and method that allows law enforcement agents and undercover officers to pass through a gateway screening system without setting off an alarm—provided that these personnel are “known” to the system. The system utilizes wireless technologies (i.e., RFID/NFC) that integrates with existing security screening system. The system reads a wireless tag (i.e., RFID/NFC) on his/her weapon and personal ID fob and authenticates them through a database. If the information is authenticated and verified, the system alarm is overridden and the officer can pass through. The Thrupass system can also be used to pass known larger items that would usually alert, such as trays or dollies in a hospital setting.
