Intelligent Camera™: Amazing Results … Extraordinary Value

Embarcadero Systems Corporation’s Intelligent Camera™ is an engineering and software innovation for Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) that provides new efficiencies and accuracy at the terminal. Used with any CCTV system, Intelligent Camera addresses terminal efficiency at its heart — the gate — where terminal operators are burdened by the complexity of scheduling, security, and logistics surrounding the transfer of containers. For high-volume terminal operators, Intelligent Camera increases the accuracy of existing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) portals. For lower-volume terminal operators Intelligent Camera can be used as a data collection solution.

Intelligent Camera Benefits

  • Automates the collection of container and chassis numbers utilizing your existing CCTV equipment
  • Extends the life of your capital investments and helps you avoid costly technology expenditures
  • Integrates with your existing OCR Portal and Terminal Operating System to deliver automated container validation with high confidence factors
  • Reduces time lost by clerks needing to manually adjust cameras.
  • Requires minimal disruption to operations, infrastructure and business processes.
  • Provides the low-density terminal operator with an effective and affordable data collection solution

Intelligent Camera: Your Competitive Advantage
Intelligent Camera is an engineering and software innovation for CCTV that complements and improves the accuracy of Optical Character Recognition engines. Intelligent Camera also provides the low-density terminal operator with an effective and affordable data collection solution. The features of Intelligent Camera include:

  • Auto image analysis and camera positioning: Identifies the size and type of equipment then automatically tilts and zooms the appropriate camera for accurate image capture.
  • Equipment number recognition: Equipment identification numbers are converted from images to text, with high levels of accuracy, automating the data collection process.
  • Super resolution imaging: Maximizes the data capture accuracy and CCTV performance through active camera dithering across multiple frame captures
  • Image capture: Allows for storage, quick recall, and interpretation of images of trucks, drivers, containers, and chassis.

ESC’s new camera technology adds intelligence to your gate system by using image analysis and pattern recognition. Intelligent Camera uses your existing infrastructure, boosting data collection accuracy of your OCR portal without the complexity and added cost of new equipment.

Intelligent Camera: A Huge Step to Efficiency

Using your existing gate CCTV system, Intelligent Camera detects the presence of equipment. Through image analysis, it determines if the truck is a bobtail, has a bare chassis, or carries a container. Intelligent Camera automatically positions the camera and captures equipment numbers to feed the OCR engine. The Intelligent Camera system reports accuracy rates as a percentage of throughput of up to 94 percent, depending on how the system is deployed and integrated into the TOS.

Intelligent Camera eliminates clerks’ need to manually adjust cameras in order to read equipment identification numbers. With Intelligent Camera, the correct camera is automatically positioned and properly focused on the equipment number when a clerk selects a lane.

ESC’s new camera technology adds intelligence to your gate system. It is an innovative and huge step for terminal operators seeking to maximize the productivity of their two-stage gate system, while increasing accuracy.

Intelligent Camera reduces manual input of container and chassis numbers into the Terminal Operating System, thereby helping terminals improve accuracy, gate security, and operating efficiency.

Intelligent Camera lowers the cost of accurately identifying equipment by adding intelligence to your existing CCTV systems.
