SenSen leads in live awareness tech for smart cities & AI
Live awareness technology is rapidly emerging as pivotal to smart cities and business processes. Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are also positively impacting it. When implemented effectively, live awareness can accurately identify, track, and predict the behaviour of a multitude of entities, ranging from chemicals and objects to individuals. This enables real-time situational understanding and informed decision-making, resulting in more efficient, safer, and cleaner urban environments with decreased costs, minimal disruption, and enhanced cohesiveness.
One of the key innovators in this field, SenSen.ai, is making strides with its state-of-the-art SenDISA platform, which is redefining the scope of real-time awareness and data analysis. Central to SenSen’s technology is a sophisticated method known as Data Fusion. SenSen's Sensor AI systems effectively merge data from various sensors—a process termed Sensor Fusion—with digital information sourced from external enterprise systems. This integration forms the backbone of SenDISA’s functionalities, enabling it to adapt and evolve across diverse industries.
The foundation of SenSen’s Data Fusion includes several key components: Stream Fusion, which merges real-time data streams that overlap in time and space; Tracking Fusion, which monitors the evolution of objects over time; Join Fusion, which associates data about objects using criteria such as proximity or relational metrics; Sensor Graph Fusion, which constructs a dynamic network from diverse sensor data sources; Map Fusion, which aligns detected objects with a continuously updating shared map; and Geometric Fusion, which integrates data from different sensor coverage areas to unveil new geometric insights.
For over 15 years, SenSen has refined SenDISA into a versatile and robust sensor AI platform. Its ability to intelligently fuse data has enabled unprecedented use cases, making it an invaluable tool for the future.
SenSen's proficiency in Data Fusion has facilitated the development of several applications:
- SenForce is an automated parking enforcement system that uses data fusion from multiple sensors, including vehicle geolocation, number plates, and parking signs, to provide irrefutable evidence of violations.
- SenMAP EMT tackles urban GPS signal blockages by combining GPS with visual and other sensor inputs for accurate location tracking in cities such as Chicago, New York, and Brisbane.
- SenTAS profiles heavy vehicles by fusing data on their dimensions and movement, offering real-time traffic analytics without the need for recalibration.
- SenTrack leverages data fusion to tag and track objects across extensive camera networks, providing detailed analytics on occupancy and people counting.
SenSen claims unmatched expertise in Data Fusion, and that's what sets its products and the SenDISA platform apart. As the global landscape becomes increasingly interconnected, Live awareness technologies like SenSen's will lead the way towards smarter, more aware cities and businesses.
