IN A WORLD OF SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS,

catching a criminal suspect on video isn’t much of a problem. For law

enforcement and homeland security, the real challenge is analyzing

the captured video. Often, the video is multiplexed beyond the average

system’s capabilities. Poor lighting, fog, smog, and haze often deny

officials the clear look of the suspect they need, and extracting a

usable still image can be next to impossible.

Not with Intergraph®’s patented technology. We have taken the

technology for video enhancement and analysis to a whole new level

of clarity, user-friendliness, versatility, and affordability with Intergraph’s

Video Analyst®. The product offers law enforcement and security

personnel an incredibly rich suite of tools – featuring Intergraph’s

unparalleled Image Registration technology – to capture, analyze, and

edit all types of videos with unprecedented detail and clarity. In fact,

Video Analyst is compatible with analog and digital video-capture

technologies, allowing it to not only translate any format, but also to

reveal in much greater detail objects and events contained within the

video footage.

Video Analyst offers another critical advantage: an easy-to-learn,

highly intuitive user interface. Running on the Microsoft® Windows®

operating system and built on commercial off-the-shelf video editing

software Adobe Premiere, you can be up and running with Video

Analyst in as little as a few hours. So whether it’s for law enforcement,

security, or general surveillance applications, when you need to clarify

evidence, Video Analyst gives you the absolute cutting edge of

excellence you need – without cutting deeply into your budget.

charlotte, north carolina, USa

A man was murdered in his home during a

robbery. Numerous witnesses described

the clothing that the suspected robber

was wearing, but not the individual. The

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police arrested

several suspects, but questions still

persisted about who killed the victim

and who was wearing which clothing.

Prosecutors needed to connect one of the

suspects to the identified clothing on the

night of the murder.

During the investigation, it was determined

that the suspects were in a nearby

convenience store an hour before the

murder took place. Surveillance cameras

at the store captured the suspects on tape,

but the images were of poor quality and

too dark to make a positive identification.

Using Intergraph’s Video Analyst System the

images were deinterlaced, magnified, and

brightened, clearly revealing the identified

clothing and the suspect.

“Without this [video] evidence, we would not have been able to identify the triggerman.

enables the full spectrum of video processing,

enhancement, and analysis, and image clarification

routines produce greater degrees of contrast,

allowing easier identification of objects and text

from the background. Both of these products

advancing to meet the challengeS of modern video data collectionVideo Analyst continues to provide the

most modern techniques available to help

you meet the changing capabilities of

modern technology. As an example, our

most recent advancement in forensic video

analysis technology: Dehaze. Intergraph’s

revolutionary new patented technology for

removing haze from video can bring new

details into sharp focus. You may specify

an area of interest, rectangle, or ellipse, and

apply the haze removal only to the selected

area. You may also apply Brighten or Auto

Level to restore a more desirable light level

after the haze removal process. Especially

important for use in video that was captured

from unmanned aerial surveillance where fog

and haze may be an issue, this technology

allows you to bring greater detail into your

analytic environment. Intergraph remains

committed to keeping you up to date with

technology to meet the rapidly changing

landscape of today’s video collection advances.
