  Duos Technologies, Inc.

 Duos, now a privately owned corporation headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, provides a broad variety of sophisticated, technology-based applications, advanced automated control systems, and intelligent security. With the need for a general hardening of security world-wide, Duos re-focused to develop and deploy intelligent security technologies including artificial intelligence integrated with actionable video surveillance solutions - very applicable to Homeland Security initiatives. Since then, the Company has specialized in the hardening of critical infrastructures with a main focus on the rail and transportation industries.

 Recently, Duos was awarded a contract for the turn-key development of the first virtual rail corridor security system known as the National Capital Region Rail Pilot Project. While Mr. Arcaini cannot elaborate on this project, he will speak about the general landscape of security systems using artificial intelligence and the current and future development of security technologies.

About Duos’ Technologies
Praesidium™

 The PRAESIDIUM™ sensor detection suite analyzes and processes incoming video and sensor feeds utilizing algorithms to detect specific activities and events for security and surveillance applications. The system is designed to simultaneously detect multiple events and to process each event in accordance with user-defined parameter settings, and creates cognitive information enabling decision makers to evaluate threats in real-time and collaborate using the same data. PRAESIDIUM™ allows both real-time local and remote monitoring using a customized browser-based interface. From simple installations to highly complex, richly sensored urban site setups, the PRAESIDIUM™ sensor detection suite provides the most advanced, accurate, and flexible video analysis available in the marketplace today.

 PRAESIDIUM™ on a system level features automatic failure recovery, strong encryption, custom policy management, diverse alarm notification methodology, multi-type sensor support, low bandwidth requirements for remote video and sensor access, and months of archive capability.

3D-IS (3D Immersive Surveillance)
 3D-IS is a real-time immersive visualization system that integrates information in a common coordinate system. With 3D-IS, the user can move in time and space, and as every live video and sensor meta-data is co-registered in the same environment, it is possible to move backward, forward, or jump to any recorded moment in time. Seamless transition from 3D virtual environment to live video and the ability to freely fly through a scene renders this application supremely intuitive and provides the impression of remote immersive tele-presence. Using Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras and automatic camera handover, the user can maintain continuous view of a target as long as it is in the coverage area.

 3D-IS Global Edition (GE) extends 3D-IS by adding features that help manage data flow in a geospatial context, and permits users to navigate through and process mission critical real-time information from the globe level all the way down to street and camera/sensor feeds. Especially in situations where data overload is a pressing issue and there is a need to work in terrestrial zones, 3D-IS GE helps the user by dividing information to priority sorted, custom configured, manageable portions.

Virtual Fence / Virtual Perimeter
 Duos’ Virtual Fence / Virtual Perimeter technology provides intrusion security to seamlessly harden the nation’s rail corridors, bridges, and tunnels. A variety of monitoring technologies, including high-quality fixed video cameras, high resolution day/night pan/tilt/zoom video cameras positioned at strategic locations, and other sensor-based detection devices establish virtual fence lines and/or virtual perimeters within the field of view of each camera, capable of distinguishing between moving vehicles, people, and other objects.

 Real time video feeds are “stitched together” and overlaid over satellite imagery to provide spatial orientation. Events are automatically digitally recorded, time stamped, and stored for later retrieval. A powerful video search engine searchable by time, date, camera number, and location allows easy retrieval of stored video files.
