Scanners were used to screen VIPs at this year's Brit Awards in London's O2 Centre

Peter George calls it the protection of a paradox. The People want security, But you don't want to queue to spend a long time for a security inspection.

He is The Chief executive of Evolv technology, a US company headquartered just outside of Boston, the development of systems, the search for firearms at major public events, and perhaps, One Day , to see the symptoms of the Covid-19.

Evolv was asked if he can build arches in the doors and The Company . examine opportunities to expand to allow the space between the sensors to go larger crowds through more quickly

Mr. George has a background in Internet security, he says, qualifies him for the search for needles in a haystack. Evolv sells safety sheets contain a combination of electronic surveillance and AI software to sift through the signals and recognize, gun-toting individual among thousands of People filing into a rock concert.

This discrete technology was used to screen VIPs at this year's Brit Awards in London's O2 Centre .

Traditional metal detectors, and raise a lot of alarms for innocent metal objects, creating a bottle-neck for the paying customers that just want your seat in a stadium or concert hall.

Peter George is in the hope to reduce the protection of a paradox

This is a very high alarm rate prompted Evolv mix AI software with radar false alarms and keep the masses flowing in a place with no annoying interruptions.

This is not only in search of The Shape of a pistol, as defined by the software, But also for small fragments of metal to create Packed in a closed room, the shrapnel an explosive device was illustrated in a tragic way, in the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing.

Evolv software developer wrote algorithms to interpret that forms such as signatures, catalogued with The Outlines of knives and pistols, than to make reasons to the attention of the operator.

The density of metal is an important indicator for a weapon, the presence and Mr. George that his colleagues have been programmed to respond to The System in 1/38th of the second.

- The AI software, analyzed the results, and it is database of a lot and this gets uploaded automatically in Evolv's own.

Each sheet sold will be explored in Evolv ' s home archive over The Internet . So it will be updated in the other scanners. The System is developed with the user-base grows, or as Mr. George says, "we are all smarter when we share the data we collect. "

Evolv hopes to add thermal imaging capabilities for your Scanner in The Course of the year 2020. In Theory , could detect People with high temperatures, one of the symptoms of Covid-19.

Dr. Simon Worrell is Lodge an immuno specializing in pandemic planning for the health and safety consultancy company Collinson. He says that the use of AI to assess human scans "sounds good, But I just don't know how effective he will be."

taking paracetamol, for example, the temperature of the bottom of a Covid-19 carrier. And precautions are still of the utmost importance. "The physical distance is important. "

experts temperature says tests alone are not enough to make you think on the spot Covid-19

He, that compliance with layers of protection, temperature checks, masks, and stay apart, is The Way to beat The Virus .

the Canadian threat protection specialist Patriot -One technologies its AI to explore the team, how you can be matched with its existing systems, identify a person with a gun in a crowd of People , to Pick Up People with elevated temperatures.

But Martin Cronin, CEO of Patriot , and a former British Foreign Office diplomat urges caution. "It is not so easy to recognize, temperatures. You can't thermal just a camera on a crowd of People . Factors such as the ambient temperature, or whether or not someone has an elevated temperature due to exercise can undermine the accuracy of the scanning devices. People should be wary of the bold claims the response to the temperature Scans. "

part of The Challenge is to ignore the tuning-AI-software, to keep such distractions and isolate the indicators which are important for Virus -makers from the crowded places. Patriot You want to means a pen down a number of anomalies, including The Absence of approved face masks, it is that a visitor merits further attention.

It is difficult enough to search for the training of the systems, hidden weapons.

Patriot is found, the radar has a good job, to find peeking under coats and jackets, what it thought were weapons. Unfortunately, The Number of false alarms is unreasonably high.

Patriot is A system can be, disguised under flower pots

the AI was designed to be of help in the form of machine-learning technology, the so to speak " from the forms caught on the radar-scan and to check if they are really a threat posed.

With a thrust of AI is increased the success rate, But it still wasn't up to a stage where it could be unleashed confused about The Public , without the usual objects, with the tools of a terrorist.

The System was just working fine in some environments, while in others, the signals due to external influences, such as emissions from Consumer Electronics . was confusing

The Answer was even more technology. Patriot bought several companies, with additional AI-detection know-how.

Video images of guns and knives are supplied, which differ in the KI-software, teaching it to between the different objects.

And The Company to be connected to a surveillance technology, security cameras, suspended in the usual transparent protrusions from the hallway, blankets in the customer sites.

Mr. Cronin brought together the KI of the ingredients, the pooling of data from different systems. He compares it to The Way People combine all their senses to understand The World around you.

AI-monitor, you can claims information from multiple sources

He is that the AI software has now disturbances by construction, it eliminates noise and electronic signals to delete a false positive and dogged early studies. And it provides anonymous, the technique leave as individuals. "We are not looking for objects, People . "

But the algorithms, which is the basis for smart systems foxing through mundane events.

On a High School campus in the USA is a weapon detection scanner was confused by the sudden appearance of umbrellas on A Day of Heavy Rain . To identify retrained, which could be updated an umbrella as a non-threatening object, the software will then, via Patriot -One user-network.

the Different societies throw up different problems. In North America , the priority is to detect guns. For aspiring UK-users of The System may be on the lookout for a knife. In both cases, But the idea is, to install, unobtrusive security architecture.

So the Next Time you walk into a corporate reception or at The Entrance of a public building, take a look at the large planter, the frame of The Door to go in. You could have just been checked out for weapons. Or maybe, One Day , a Virus .
