“This kind of research is critical to the ongoing
development of advanced security tools and will feed
directly into the products ObjectVideo is making available
to a growing number of private and public sector
customers,” says Clara Conti, CEO of ObjectVideo.

ObjectVideo will team with academic experts to study
specific challenges related to tracking people and objects,
like vehicles at night, as they move from one camera view
to the next across a security system.
