What is Intel SceneScape?
It is an advanced video analytics and situational awareness technology developed by Intel that goes beyond artificial intelligence. It is vision-based to generate spatial awareness from sensor data. It transforms data from many sensors to create and provide live updates to a 4D digital twin of your physical space.
SceneScape combines advanced computing capabilities with rugged hardware to provide exceptional information and operational efficiency.
SceneScape uses sensors, such as webcams, to allow us to monitor the movement of people within a designated space, seeing it represented within the application itself, or connecting it to a 3D representation of the space, and then using that data to represent it in digital twins, as mentioned above.
The data generated by the sensors can be visualized in real time through a digital twin or stored for later analysis. Different representations of the data can be made, such as counting people in a global area or dividing it by zones or even calculating the average time spent in a specific area.
For everything to be well visualized, in addition to a good calibration, when deploying these cameras it is important that the space to be analyzed is completely covered, even overlapping from different angles, thus avoiding blind spots and possible errors when performing this counting and monitoring.
Intel SceneScape is able to distinguish that a person is the same, even if viewed from two different cameras, and only count them once.
Possible fields of application
Intel SceneScape can have many different applications, but given the capabilities of SceneScape, all of these applications will share some common characteristics:
Real-Time or Delayed Monitoring: Intel SceneScapes uses cameras to monitor the number of people in a location. This allows for an accurate count of people entering and leaving, ensuring, for example, that the maximum allowed capacity is not exceeded.
Digital Twins: Digital twin technology creates a virtual replica of a given space, allowing the movement of people within the designated area to be tracked digitally. This helps to identify, for example:
- Areas of high congestion and optimize the flow of people.
- In the case of a trade show, whether a booth has been most visited or the time spent in the booth to identify market trends.
In view of these characteristics, we will now detail some examples of fields in which this technology could be applied:
Retail and commerce
Customer Behavior Analysis: Intel SceneScapes uses cameras to track and analyze in-store customer behavior. This includes things like tracking the routes customers take or the time they spend in different sections. This information allows retailers to optimize product layout and improve the shopping experience.
Retail Space Optimization: Intel SceneScapes allows retailers to analyze how retail space is used and make adjustments to maximize efficiency. This includes identifying areas of high congestion and rearranging products to improve customer flow.
Event management and capacity control
Warning and Alarm Systems: When the set capacity limit is reached, the system can activate warnings and alarms to alert event staff. This ensures that immediate action is taken to prevent over-capacity and maintain attendee safety.
Data Analytics: With Intel SceneScape, we can collect valuable data on the influx of people, peak times and most visited areas within the event. These insights allow organizers to optimize space management and improve the visitor experience.
Security and Surveillance
In addition to the possible applications described above, such as capacity control or alerts and alarms, we find:
Access control: SceneScape allows us to monitor and control access to restricted areas and thus ensure that security standards are met.
Threat detection: Intel SceneScape allows us to detect potential threats in real time and notifies security personnel within seconds.
Surveillance automation: Allows us to automate processes, reducing human error and improving response capacity.
Smart Cities
In the context of smart cities, Intel SceneScape can integrate with other urban management systems to improve public safety and traffic efficiency. For example, it can help identify traffic incidents in real time, manage congestion, and optimize public transportation routes.
