Full motion video and video analysis were two hot topics at this week’s GEOINT Symposium. Streaming video gives analysts and ground forces a current and realistic view of the operational environment.
At the BAE Systems booth, attendees viewed demonstrations showing the new video analysis capabilities for SOCET GXP® v3.1, and learned how to best interpret video scenes in high-definition streaming video.
The SOCET GXP Video Analysis tool reads and displays live video feeds or saved video files from airborne sensors. It uses the image metadata and a video sensor model to establish accurate geopositioning for detailed analysis and intelligence reporting.
BAE Systems developed the Video Analysis capability to give analysts a convenient way to work with video and transmit critical data and reports to decision-makers. The latest innovations in video compression provide remarkable quality from the smallest amount of video data. Analysts see crisp, clear, high-definition video in much smaller files, saving bandwidth and storage costs.
The Video Analysis tool is integrated with Google Earth™ to provide sensor position, field of view, and situational awareness for video footprints.
BAE Systems offers video analysis training through its GEOINT Tradecraft Advancement Center. Expert instructors provide courses to get video analysts up and running quickly.
The development of increasingly adaptable and advanced platforms and sensors accelerates the need to transform motion imagery (MI) into intelligence to support military operations. BAE Systems’ multiphase training program fully qualifies MI analysts through advanced training and technology solutions.
The program offers practical exercises with video feed tailored for the exploitation and production phase of the MI analysis cycle. Demonstrations and group discussions ensure participants absorb material and understand objectives.
Other hot topics at today’s sessions included:
- Creating contextual awareness for data
- Data fusion and technology dissemination
- Demand for all source analysts
- Task force diversity and cultural context
- Space and time data
- Automation and integration of workflow processes
- Significance of a multi-int environment
- GEOINT training and deployable training teams are critical
- Minimize facilities and workstations
