January is usually the month we start to carry out our New Year’s resolution. We, personally, might start a new exercise plan, learn a new skill or language, or explore a foreign country. When it comes to a company, a New Year’s resolution usually relates to new products and business development. At the end of 2013, Ingersoll Rand announced the spin-off of its commercial and residential security sectors, which later became the independent public company, Allegion. After acquiring an access control company RedCloud Security in mid-2013, Avigilon started the New Year with another strategic acquisition of VideoIQ. The new strategic business development plans for both companies well demonstrates the security industry’s focus on developing new technologies and solutions for commercial sectors. Video analytics and integrated systems are two perfect examples. Under the uncertain global macroeconomy, end users want high return on investment (ROI) from each security venture. As a leading security magazine, a&s International would like to explore more stories about how security companies create extra value for their customers in 2014. In this issue’s cover story, we selected some good cases from manufacturing sites, such as car manufacturing factories, and textile and cheese factories, where the end users adopted advanced technologies to achieve high operational efficiency, beyond security purposes. We hope these stories inspire more companies to explore the multiple purposes and values of their security products/ solutions. Finally, on the technology side, we introduced some of the latest developments in lenses and how some companies developed their proprietary technologies to make technical breakthroughs in improving picture quality with wide-angle lenses. Whether through technical advancement or new business development, we can see that more companies are able to create more benefits for their customers. This should provide some good ideas of New Year’s resolutions for all security professionals.

llegion, the spin-off from Ingersoll Rand, a global provider of mechanical and electronic security products and solutions, made its debut as a publicly-traded company at the end of 2013. As an independent company, Allegion will more boldly capitalize on major trends in both commercial and residential security. Allegion sells more than 23 brands in over 120 countries, specializing in security around the doorway and beyond — from residential and commercial locks, door closers and panic release bars, and access control systems and workforce productivity systems. To ensure continued support to customers from both companies, Allegion has made temporary transition service agreements with Ingersoll Rand, which will end in 2014. The company intends to pursue strategic acquisitions that complement and enhance its existing business, while investing in research and development and product development.

Growing Opportunities in Security Allegion anticipates long-term growth opportunities in the global security market. “The North American markets are recovering from a difficult economic cycle. Although we see some recovery in the residential space occurring now, we think pre-peak housing starts are still a few years away. We expect the commercial market recovery to lag the residential recovery which has been the case historically. The European recovery will be much slower. However, we do anticipate growth in the emerging markets at a much faster pace than our traditional markets,” said John Stanley, VP of Finance and Acting EMEIA Regional Leader for Allegion.
Focusing on Emerging Countries Allegion plans to build on its operational excellence program, pursue growth in emerging markets, and recruit new talent and expertise. “The fastest growth is in the developing world — where widespread codes and standards for security and building access have yet to be developed. That is where Allegion fills a crucial leadership role in working with foreign governments and municipalities to ensure their building security standards are where they should be and to ensure the devices they operate are the best. The Safety and Security Institute we helped establish in Shanghai, China, in July 2011 is a prime example,” said Stanley.

ith the world debut of HDCVI (high definition composite video interface) — the latest technological breakthrough in long-distance HD-over-coax technology, Dahua Technology demonstrated both its R&D capability and determination to become a total solutions provider. The innovative HDCVI makes possible the transmission of HD video without latency over a distance of up to 500 meters via coaxial cables. In other words, end users now have the option to upgrade existing systems from standard definition to megapixel high resolution at a lower cost. Although network video technology has penetrated the majority of market sectors and geographic regions, the current global security market is still dominated by analog systems in terms of sales volume. Accordingly, Dahua still sees plenty of opportunities in the traditional analog market. “For a big commercial building with around 40 million coaxial cables, recabling can be extremely costly and time consuming. At the same time, end users want higher picture quality. Therefore, we believe end users would increase their demand of HD-over-coax technology and Dahua’s latest innovation, which enables HD video transmission via coaxial cable within a 500-meter distance would be the solution to fit all these requirements,” said Liquan Fu, President of Dahua Technology.
Global Marketing with Focus on Asia With a strong network of local distributors around the world, Dahua plans to market HDCVI internationally, with an emphasis in Asia. The company sees Asia as one of the biggest markets and a region where HD demand is booming, especially in the ASEAN member states. “Statistically speaking, the ratio of analog to IP-based products is
22
currently 9 to 1 in India. The Indian market is one of the markets experiencing great demand for HD, as is the Brazilian market. Therefore, we can predict that HDCVI has the potential to shine in other analogdominated markets too,” said Tim Shen, Overseas Marketing Director at Dahua. Currently, Dahua is confident that there will be great demand for HDCVI in verticals where HD video is required, and end users want hassle-free IP video systems and are often reluctant to replace the entire exsisting infrastructure of cables. These verticals include the residential sector and certain SMB sectors in retail, banking and casinos.
Total HDCVI Solution In addition to HDCVI cameras, Dahua is going to launch a HDCVI tribrid DVR in the first quarter of 2014. The HDCVI tribrid DVR will work with analog, IP-based, as well as HDCVI systems. “Therefore, there shouldn’t be compatibility issues between HDCVI, regardless of the type of system that is already in place. We do believe with the launch of this new product, integration and compatibility with HDCVI will reach a higher level,” said Shen. In the coming year, Dahua is planning on several local roadshows with its partners to better present HDCVI to local systems integrators and installers.
Meanwhile, it has just launched a microsite — HDCVI Academy. “HDCVI Academy is designed to be a platform for interaction between Dahua, our existing partners, and potential partners. For instance, all of our distribution partners can access HDCVI Academy for updates on HDCVI, from product models, case studies, SDK, technical support, and even new bracket selection,” said Shen. “In addition, we have an interactive bulletin board to answer all questions that people might have at any stage of installing HDCVI cameras or HDCVI in general. HDCVI Academy is a portal for more people to understand the benefits that HDCVI brings and how they can benefit from HDCVI.”
HDCVI Camera Test Performance As a reliable and trusted source of information for the security industry, a&s conducted a test on HDCVI front-end imaging and storage devices to learn more about this technology. The test included two DH-HACHFW2200S waterproof, infrared high-definition HDCVI bullet cameras; two DH-HAC-HDW2200S waterproof, infrared high-definition HDCVI eyeball cameras; and one HDCVI-based DH-HCVR7808S hybrid DVR.
Basics OF HDCVI technology HDCVI technology is not the same as analog image processing technology, HD digital technology, or IP megapixel technology. The biggest difference between this technology and others lies in that HDCVI combines the analog modulationdemodulation technology (transmission) of analog image processing with the high-resolution optical imaging of HD digital technology and IP megapixel technology. This provides HDCVI with the best of both worlds — high-resolution display and rapid analog transmission. The result is rapid analog transmission in a fast provisioning system that is easy to set up, but at the same time avoids the headaches common with network video systems, such as bandwidth instability, data packet loss, and latency.

Tips to Identifying Quality
Megapixel Lenses
As video surveillance evolves, footage has more resolution and greater detail than ever before. HD cameras have benefited from component breakthroughs in image sensors and processors, which support the current crop of megapixel cameras and even the hottest 4K ultra high definition (UHD) trend. The bottleneck for achieving even more pixels is dependent on the lens. With so many lens providers on the market, how do integrators and installers identify “true” megapixel optical lenses for HD surveillance? We take a look at megapixel options currently available and what’s next. n By the a&s Editorial Department
B
y now, it is common knowledge that a megapixel camera needs a megapixel lens to reach its full HD potential. Surveillance lenses mainly come from Japan and China, with some providers in Korea and the U.S. Looking at the top lens brands by their country of origin, Theia and ImmerVision represent Europe and North America. Japan is home to Tamron, Fujinon, Computar, Tokina, Kowa, Pentax, Speacom, Avenir, U-Tron, and more. Korean lens manufacturers do not have the market share or sales to topple Japanese lenses, but Daiwon is blazing a path for Korean lenses. Finally, while Chinese lenses lag behind Japanese ones in quality and quantity, China’s market share has steadily increased over the past five years. Notable improvements have also been made in lens technology over the past few years. “Quality and performance in optics have been improved due
3822
JAN 2014
to the integration of electronic processing. Lens manufacturers have been challenged to create lenses that provide higher quality images at lower costs,” said Alessandro Gasparini, Chief Commercial Officer of ImmerVision. “In recent years, software specialists began to work with lens manufacturers, resulting in a drastic evolution of lens technology. Innovations like P-Iris control, dewarping, and post-capture processing are a direct result of this collaboration. With IP cameras, digital data can be manipulated and enhanced. A decade ago, optical designers viewed distortion as a defect and created lenses with no distortion. Today, distortion can be manipulated to enhance the performance of the lens. Combining optics with electronic components creates more possibilities, better performance, and is beneficial to the end user.”

Identifying the Right Lens Based on spec sheets, it seems all lenses are equally good for any application. However, the top lens providers have maintained market share because of a unique advantage in production or product development for specific environments. This specialization is necessary to survive in video surveillance. Table 1 compares the main lens providers by functionality, which indicates the direction of each brand’s R&D and core competence. Besides fixed and variable focus, or automatic and manual aperture, which are key buying concerns for surveillance lenses, the chart also looks at day/ night IR lenses and whether they feature a programmable aperture, better known as “P-Iris” functionality. Another deciding factor is if the lens is a defogging one. Many breakthroughs
22
in consumer SLRs are being introduced for high-resolution surveillance lenses. This class of high-end lenses has a clear advantage for surveillance footage, which stands to benefit from mature still-camera lens developments. Some next-generation features include eliminating vibration — originally from shaky, handheld still photos — internal
surveillance. They have good light transmittance and low refraction, which results in all light being focused on a single point. These lenses also help to reduce image distortion. Common forms of image distortion include barrel distortion where images are curved outward, or pincushion distortion, where images are curved inward.

Global Lens Market Undergoes Dynamic Transformation The global lens market is now witnessing a transition in sales and market tendencies due to shifting end-user demands and preferences such as cost and ease of use. Also, China’s manufacturing prowess is becoming ever more apparent as Chinese manufacturers slowly take over the lens market that had once been dominated by Japanese manufacturers. n By the a&s Editorial Department

reviously, lenses and cameras were carefully selected and paired according to each end user’s specific needs and applications. To make things less complicated for users, cameras and lenses are increasingly being sold as a bundle, saving users the need to pair everything on their own. Some cameras are also employing their own onboard lenses, gradually changing the dynamics of the traditional lens market. “The trend is changing because of costs and ease of installation. With a 360-degree mini dome, there are no lens adjustments, everything is packaged together and it can be easily mounted,” said Alessandro Gasparini, Chief Commercial Officer of ImmerVision. As a result, more OEMs are sprouting up than ever before, while dealers are getting struck out of the playing field. Hence, lens manufacturers must find different channels in order to address the shrinking number of dealers to upkeep and increase their sales. This trend of bundling lenses and cameras is expected to continue, even if lenses become more mature and standardized as time passes. “The bundle concept may become stronger as a more precise match will be required.

Each camera manufacturer has its own design policy and tries its best to process the image as desired. Ideally, it will be best to find the matched lens to keep the desired image quality, either that is the resolution level or the color reproduction, etc.,” explained Tommy Tsunoyama, Section Manager of Tamron. OEM-bundled lenses and cameras have led to more direct sales to OEMs, and has driven more motorized, board mount, and smaller size lenses. However, this can often mean fewer features or lower performance in the lens, as it is

difficult to design one with full capability in a very small envelope, according to Andrea Iñiguez, VP of Business Development at Theia Technologies. “Lens designs have many variables that can be traded off, such as resolution, size, format, focal range, IR correction, zoom function, etc. These capabilities are accomplished in the lens through the number, shape, placement, and materials of the elements in the lens design. Lens designers do their best to optimize the overall design, but ask the OEM customers about what capabilities

are most important and which can be traded off, or where can performance be compromised, so other areas are improved.” Yet, there are still instances in which separately sold lenses and cameras are required. “Although we cannot predict the market, we think that some lenses will continue to be sold separately because they can address specific requirements. Some applications still require an integrator to match a lens with a camera for a specific result. For

example: if an end user’s application requires the ability to survey distant areas under extreme temperatures, a zoom lens with a box camera in a weatherproof housing would be the ideal solution,” said Gasparini. According to Toshirou Tsujimoto, Manager of Sales & Marketing Division, Optical Device & Electronic Imaging Products Division of Fujifilm, these particular applications where lenses and cameras are sold separately include border surveillance, police, coast guard, rail, banking, gaming, and so on.
JAN 2014
New Applications Lead to Channel Changes End users are progressively using megapixel lenses in new applications, culminating to a change in channels for many manufacturers. Surveillance cameras are no longer used just for monitoring, but can be used for a variety of applications such as workforce optimization and management. “Adding new lens types (telephotos for example) have led to application-specific systems integrators, such as license plate recognition. Other opportunities exist to take security lenses and modify them to work on cameras in machine vision, broadcast, and consumer/prosumer markets,” said Gasparini. City surveillance and/or ITS are also the newest emerging markets. Since these markets are so big, their sales channel is different from the

espite inflammatory media accounts proclaiming the end of the megapixel race in the security industry, recent conversations with camera OEMs suggest otherwise. In fact, camera companies appear poised to up the ante and are moving forward with plans to increase camera resolution, following the lead of cellphone and digital camera companies before them.

Wide-Angle Lenses Creating a representation of this world on a two-dimensional plane in a camera creates some optical effects, especially when viewed through a wide-angle lens.

Product Exploration
Figure 1 FOV increases with increasing camera resolution (total number of pixels) without any change in image resolution (pixels per foot). The 3- and 5-megapixel images are cropped vertically to eliminate uninteresting sky and ground areas of the image. This cropping reduces the total number of pixels but doesn’t affect the pixels-per-foot resolution.
There are two approaches used when designing wide-angle lenses: equal angular slices — each pixel receives an equal angle leading to barrel distortion in the image; equal planar distances — each pixel images an equal distance in a plane, this is a rectilinear lens. The two families of wide-angle lenses create very different views of the world. HD and megapixel cameras have many advantages as long as you have the right lens for the job. When that includes covering large areas or reducing cost by installing fewer cameras, that lens is a wide-angle lens. Wide-angle lenses are not a panacea, but there are many applications that benefit from their use. For applications requiring large areas of coverage, an ultra wide-angle lens on a megapixel
camera is a cost-saving opportunity that should be considered. Wide-angle lenses can reduce the number of cameras required to cover an area, reducing cost of installation, maintenance and monitoring. They can be used in place of a PTZ camera when post-incident digital PTZ is desired and effectively monitor large areas like parking lots, schools, and construction sites. Also, they can be used in close-up applications such as ATMs, card-locked garage entries, and multi-door entryways where both high image detail and wide field of view (FOV) are required. Until recently, only fisheye lenses had been available for an ultra-wide FOV. Fisheye lenses have the well-known barrel distortion seen in almost all wide-angle lenses with FOV greater than
80 degrees. This distortion causes the image to look curved and resolution to be reduced as the object moves farther from the center of the image. The distortion effect can be eliminated with software (creating a rectilinear lens image), but at the cost of compromised time or processing power. Objects at the edges of the image are compressed and details are lost when information travels through the lens and software is unable to recapture the information. By contrast, Theia has developed a family of rectilinear lenses giving a different ultra-wide view without the barrel distortion or loss of edge resolution of fisheye lenses. Rectilinear lenses keep straight lines in the real world straight on the image sensor. This creates an effect called 3D stretching, or lean-over, in which objects at the image edge seem to be stretched because they are being “flattened” onto a plane.
Wide-Angle FOV Another advantage of the higher resolution available from megapixel cameras is the ability to cover a much wider area with the same or better resolution compared to analog cameras. Because the total available pixels spread across the FOV is greater, the FOV can be increased without decreasing image resolution. Table 1 below compares the FOV of different cameras at a distance of 32 feet from the subject at the same image

With less money in the hands of consumers, the demand for all types of goods decreased, which caused global manufacturing production to decline. However, now, as the global economy rebounds, global manufacturing is slowly starting to see green again instead of red. Global manufacturing output grew by 2.4 percent in the third quarter of 2013, according to a recent report published by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). In the first half of 2013, statistics provided by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) showed that global motor vehicle production went up 1.6 percent from 2012. Although both of these numbers are considered low, growth, no matter the amount, is a hopeful sign that both global manufacturing and the global economy have begun to heal. By region, the UNIDO report pointed out a slight improvement in overall
22
manufacturing output in industrialized regions such as North America, East Asia, and Europe. In the U.S., most of this improvement is attributed to increased production in the electronic goods, motor vehicles, and furniture markets. The report noted that US production of motor vehicles rose at a rate of 5.8 percent in the third quarter. Specific factors that have contributed to growth in motor vehicle production include low interest rates and the declining unemployment rate. On the other hand, overall manufacturing growth in Europe has been more fragile. Growth in the eurozone has been marginal; however, growth outside of the eurozone has been slightly better. Motor vehicle production in Germany rose 2.2 percent in the third quarter, opposed to production rate drops in both France and Italy. A sharp decline in production in Russia was also observed where motor vehicle production plunged by 27 percent compared to the same period the previous year. In Asia, Japan saw meager motor vehicle production
growth of 1.7 percent, whereas Malaysia saw nearly 10 percent growth from the previous quarter. With unimpressive growth numbers, manufacturers are now more than ever looking for ways to not only improve efficiency, but also reduce unnecessary costs.
Production Efficiency Saves Time and Money The automotive industry has many stringent requirements when it comes to production processes. Safety must come first when it comes to parts and assembly. Therefore, it is crucial that even the slightest defects be caught before becoming part of a finished product. Meticulous inspection of a production line, however, can be costly and time consuming, therefore efficiency is key. Time wasted is money wasted and with the economy as it has been, no one has either to waste. Using video surveillance cameras,

Fixing Problems Before They Start:
RFID in Manufacturing Radio frequency identification (RFID) is commonly used to track items, but its usefulness in helping manufacturers prevent production errors is becoming more widespread. As more and more manufacturers integrate RFID technology into their production processes, the RFID market is seeing growth. By using RFID for error detection and not just tracking, the higher price tag of RFID will prove its worth in overall savings. n By Eifeh Strom
T
he use of radio frequency identification (RFID) to track and tag objects dates back to the 1940s. Nowadays, not only does RFID help supply chain visibility, but it is also used to improve inventory management and operational efficiency, reduce labor costs, and enhance information accuracy.

These benefits are helping to spur the growth of the global RFID market, which is expected to reach US$11.6 billion in 2018, according to a report by Frost & Sullivan. Continuous research and development in the RFID industry along with growing end-user awareness are thought to be
www.asmag.com
some of the main drivers for growth. However, one of the main challenges facing the market is the hesitation of end users to invest in a technology that has a higher price tag than other systems such as barcodes. Without sufficient knowledge of the benefits of RFID and concerns that customer return
22
on investment (ROI) does not match its startup costs, growth in the RFID market has been hindered. One way manufacturers are utilizing RFID to not only improve their ROI but also the overall efficiency of their facility is by using RFID technology on the production line. Manufacturers are no longer looking to just track products throughout the production process, but use RFID to detect errors during the processes before they become major problems down the line. By using RFID for both error detection and production efficiency, manufacturers are able to save both time and money.
Early Detection Means Savings Not falling behind schedule on a production line is extremely important in a manufacturing facility. Manufacturers are on strict deadlines set by customers to get their products to them in a timely manner. One delay on one production line not only costs the facility time, but starts a chain of events that can end up costing the facility a lot of money. In order to stop problems on the production line before they get too far out of control, manufacturers across industries have begun taking advantage of RFID technology in helping to reduce errors. Brian Ma, Sales Representative at GIGA-TMS, a manufacturer of RFID readers and antennas, pointed out that every RFID project is unique with its own set of challenges. “Every successful ultra-high frequency (UHF) project has three major components — the transponder, the antenna, and the reader. All three of them have to be carefully chosen and configured.” As such, finding the right equipment can be a RFID project’s biggest challenge.

Error Detection in Textile Printing Textile printing factories receive large shipments of fabric bundles for printing. Several shades of the same color, which are difficult to distinguish, may come to a factory for printing. This can easily lead to errors if a worker is told to simply pull a general color and throw it onto the line. If a mistake is made and the wrong bundle gets put onto the production line, not only is precious time wasted, but money and resources as well. To cut back on errors, a top textile printing factory, which prints for internationally known brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Gap, etc., wanted to find a solution that would help detect errors. Ultimately, a passive UHF RFID solution by GIGA-TMS was chosen. A passive UHF RFID solution was chosen for this project for several reasons, as pointed out by Ma. First, UHF RFID has a longer reading range than either low-frequency (LF) or high-frequency (HF) RFID tags, which is useful in a high-volume industrial setting. UHF RFID is also highly configurable as well as reusable. In this particular case, the reusable nature of the UHF RFID tag was a deciding factor for whether or not the factory opted to deploy a RFID solution. Unlike barcodes that cannot be reused, some UHF RFID tags can not only be reused hundreds of times, but can also
JAN 2014
Shlomo Matityaho, CEO, Logitag
withstand extreme temperatures. In this case, the factory needed the tags to be able to be reused at least 700 times in extremely high temperatures. Another advantage is that UHF RFID has multi-tag detection capabilities, which can save a lot of time when dealing with large quantities of fabric shipments. However, these advantages do come at a price — at over $1 per tag this technology does not come cheap. For this reason, UHF RFID tags are most often used to track items of high value, advised Ma. Despite this, ROI for this technology will come to surface as long as end users are willing to invest in the costs for initial implementation and time to figure out the best solution. Mistakes in the printing process can cost the factory up to $100,000, according to Ma. This is not because the fabric itself is expensive, but because one mistake pushes back the entire printing process. Reducing the amount of errors on the production line, as well as being able to track fabric bundles throughout the entire printing process allows management to make sure the right fabric is being printed on. In the event an alarm is set off, management is able to fix the problem before it is too late. Additionally, the RFID information can be used to see which employees are

Autonomous Cars Revolutionize Intelligent Transportation Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) aim to reduce traffic accidents, curb pollution, and increase efficiency. Now that autonomous cars are slowly becoming a part of ITS, traffic regulations and laws as we know it will likely change dramatically in the next decade. n By Christine Chien
R
ecently, automobile manufacturers such as Ford, BMW, Audi, and several others, have been releasing new models of semi-autonomous cars. Experts are also making predictions that fully autonomous cars will be available within the next 10 years. Once the technology reaches full maturity, there will no longer be a need for human drivers. By utilizing improved sensors and cameras, autonomous cars will revolutionize intelligent transportation systems (ITS) through vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-

to-infrastructure communication in the future. By utilizing the integrated network, cars will be able to communicate with each other, surrounding infrastructures, and the system itself, effectively reducing the number of accidents, the time and energy wasted in traffic by speeding up vehicle mobility, and pollution from the emission of carbon dioxide from fuel exhaust. Currently, Google is at the forefront of driverless car research and testing, already logging an accident-free record of over 400,000 miles since April 2013.
www.asmag.com
Based on a report from a non-partisan US think tank, the Eno Center for Transportation, “Preparing a Nation for Autonomous Vehicles: Opportunities, Barriers, and Policy Recommendations� claims that even with adoption rates of just 10 percent, autonomous vehicles have the potential to save the US economy at least US$25 billion annually, while 50 percent of crashes and related injuries could essentially be avoided. According to its estimated figures, if 10 percent of the vehicles on the road are autonomous, it could lead to 211,000
22
fewer serious crashes and 1,100 fewer deaths per year. In order to eradicate all accidents in which human error is proven to be a factor, a full 90 percent of vehicles would need to be autonomous. One of the technologies that can be used to prevent such accidents is the collision avoidance system. The application of the collision avoidance system is presently in the niche stage but it is expected to grow at a rapid rate in the coming five years, according to MarketsandMarkets. The major reason behind the growth of collision avoidance systems is due
22
to the improvement that will be made for the communication technology between vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure.
Increasing Adoption Acting as a precursor to fully autonomous cars, semi-autonomous cars are progressively becoming more visible in the market, which will ultimately lead to increased adoption. According to MarketsandMarkets, the semi-autonomous market for passenger cars will be worth $21.4

billion by 2018. Europe has consistently been the first region where innovative and sophisticated technologies are popularized at a high rate. Meanwhile, APAC is the largest passenger car market in the world, with estimated sales of over 30.9 million passenger cars in 2013. This market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 9.5 percent over the next five years. Furthermore, APAC will be a major market for semi-autonomous cars due to improving infrastructures, changing government policies towards safety, changing lifestyles, and etc. The report also indicates that in the next few years, many countries including China, Korea, and Japan, will make some of the driver assistance systems mandatory in passenger cars. In Europe, the Automotive Council UK is investing approximately $1 billion to deploy a fleet of 100 driverless vehicles in Milton Keynes by 2017. These vehicles will be fully electric and equipped with sensors and software for autonomous navigation to provide taxi services between downtown and the train station. In the Swedish city of Gothensburg, Volvo Car Group will play a large role in "Drive Me – Self-driving cars for sustainable mobility," a large-scale autonomous driving pilot project in which 100 self-driving cars will use the public roads in everyday conditions. This project is a joint venture initiative between Volvo, the Swedish Transpot Administration, Lindholme Science Park, and the City of Gothensburg. The research and development phase of the project will commence in 2014 and the first cars are expected on the road in 2017. In China, the city of Hangzhou recently made an agreement with Kandi Technologies to lease 20,000 electric vehicles to test the new technology.

First Video Image Performance Standard Hits the Road Underwriters Laboratories published the first video image performance standard for the security industry in September 2013. This video image performance certification provides a tool for differentiating cameras in the marketplace. Although the goal of this standard is to offer end users and systems integrators an impartial resource for evaluating video image performance, widespread adoption may take time, as getting differing opinions within sales channels to come to a consensus is never an easy task. n BY MICHELLE CHU
I
n September 2013, after 18 months of preparation, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a US-based independent safety science company, published the US security industry’s first video image performance standard, UL2802. UL aspired to provide end users and systems integrators (SI) with a tool that not only effectively informs them of a camera’s performance when faced with price versus performance decisions, but also helps them clearly identify if the device is as good as it is advertised, according to Neil Lakomiak, Business Development Manager of Built Environment at Underwriters Laboratories. “We’ve been approached by various groups of people in the last several years,
7822
JAN 2014
asking us if we’re willing to develop standards around video. I think one of the major issues is that they’ve wanted to be able to compare the performance between different cameras for their given applications,” Lakomiak said. “I would say this idea was primarily coming out from the end-users community and some of the manufacturers. It was developed to differentiate each camera’s capabilities while facing numerous cameras coming with similar functions in the marketplace. As a result, the development team has built up a set of nine requirements based on a camera’s specifications.” The nine attributes, which include image resolution/sharpness, TV distortion, relative illumination, dynamic range,
www.asmag.com
maximum frame rate, gray level, sensitivity, bad pixel, and veiling glare, are believed to be the most crucial characteristics of image quality, according to Lakomiak.
Testing Procedures The standard is designed to assess the image quality of individual cameras based on a set of nine criteria. For example, UL2802 tests gray level by using an emissive test target made up of 12 lamps with uniform emissive surfaces at different luminosities. The difference between adjacent luminosity levels is half an optical stop. The picture taken of the test target is analyzed based on the signal levels and signal-to-noise ratio from the image of each lamp in the picture. The final
22
gray-level score will depend on the signal levels and signal-to-noise ratio retrieved from the image of the 12 lamps. The test for veiling glare is conducted under an ambient light source to generate consistent light around the camera. One picture is then taken with the light turned off and another one with the light on. The score is determined by comparing the gray-level degradation and color shift when the light source is on and off.
Definition of Score Range To certify a camera, a manufacturer must send in their product for the nine-step test. The camera will then be given scores, from zero to 100, for each test. For dynamic range, cameras that receive a score between zero to 20 are
suitable for indoor applications; 20 to 40 are ideal for outdoor applications on a cloudy day or in the shade; 40 to 60 are good for applications with partial sunlight; 60 to 80 are capable of being applied under strong sunlight; and 80 to 100 are applicable to any lighting condition. In regard to sensitivity, cameras that score between zero to 20 may work well under the lighting conditions in a bar; 20 to 40 could be used in twilight; 40 to 60 are suitable for full-moon lighting conditions; 60 to 80 are good for partial-moon lighting; and 80 to 100 are good for nightglow illumination (see more details in Chart 1). According to Lakomiak, getting low scores only suggests that the camera does not perform well under those conditions — it does not exclude them

CNB IS PREPARED FOR A COMEBACK Recently, CNB was able to overturn a considerable rumor of being sold after embracing a new major stakeholder and newly appointed CEO. Determined to win back the glory it was once surrounded by, CNB has come forth with new strategies for product innovation and customer-oriented marketing. CNB is ready to take on challenges and move further in the market. n Contributed by CNB Technology
C
NB Technology disproved the rumors of being put up for sale when they announced the takeover of the new stakeholder and an appointment of a new CEO, Se-Young Hong. It is obvious that CNB is determined to move forward to a new chapter. As a well-known brand in the security industry, CNB once led the Korean security industry with compelling revenue growth. After overcoming the flash point, CNB is determined to regain its previous status not only as one of the leading companies in the security industry, but is also ready to take a leap forward. E & Investment, registered and listed as one of the 40 New Technology Venture Capital Companies by the Financial Supervisory Service, Korea’s government regulatory authority, became the largest stakeholder of CNB on Oct. 10, 2013. This new stakeholder made a sound investment and aimed to create profits through the solid growth of CNB, which is expected to provide a safety net for this company. In addition to providing investment of emergency funds, E & Investment plans to increase staff and start up various business development plans to stabilize the company and drive its future growth. “During the transitional period, CNB had suffered a lot from the
8422
JAN 2014
unprecedented attacks and rumors. However, the new investor showed its commitment to facilitating the management of the company by recruiting professional executives and enlisting additional processes after identifying problems through communication with the employees. Accordingly, both the company and the employees are gradually showing their determination that they can do it again,” Hong said.
Regain Leading Position CNB has kept a watchful eye on the continuous global market demand for analog cameras. Its new product
development on analog cameras will focus on megapixel technologies, according to Hong. On the other hand, the company is continuing its development of network cameras to keep its lineup up to date. The company’s goal for 2014 is to target domestic and overseas markets with a full lineup of analog and network video surveillance products, as well as improved services for their global customers. In Korea, they are ready to roll out some new plans for their distributors. One of them is to give distributors discretionary power so that they can respond to various projects, continued Hong.
ABOUT Se-Young Hong, THE NewLY Appointed CEO of CNB Technology Se-Young Hong, CNB’s new CEO, has been involved in product development and research since he graduated from the Engineering Department of Seoul National University. He started up a business to provide security equipment — mostly exported to the U.S. — for police cars in the 1990s. At that time, CNB was manufacturing the zoom modules for their cameras. Therefore, Hong was able to maintain a close relationship with CNB for decades. Hong officially joined CNB in February 2013, as per the former CEO’s request. Hong’s long-term business experience with CNB and his leadership capability saved the company from the rumored-to-sell uncertainty. Upon the dramatic change of the major stakeholder a couple of months ago, Hong was promoted to CEO in October 2013.
