KEY TECHNOLOGIES FOR ENHANCING SECURITY AND USER SATISFACTION AT AIRPORTS

摘要

Traveller flows and crossings at the external borders of the EU are increasing and are expected to increase even more in the future; trends which encompass great challenges for travellers, border guards and the border infrastructure. In this paper we present three non-intrusive technologies and scientific contributions addressing relevant security and efficiency requirements at airports: (i) 3D vision based detection of humans and left items in secure zones; (ii) vision-based passenger tracking across views within a camera network; and (iii) indoor localization and navigation for traveller guidance, assistance and services. The proposed computer vision-based technologies will reduce delays and queues for travellers; improve the user experience at the border infrastructure, and at the same time support border guards in achieving a higher level of security by preventing unauthorized border crossings.
