  • FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the apparatus of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 shows the logical architecture of the embodiment of FIG. 1;
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are block diagrams of sub-systems of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 6 is an example of the user interface of the embodiment of FIG. 1.
  • a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated generally at item 1 in FIG. 1.
  • the arrangement of apparatus according to the embodiment of FIG. 1 is in three zones, an identification and psychological profiling zone 2 , an automatic inspection zone 3 and a manual inspection zone 4 .
  • the apparatus of the present invention includes a control center 13 .
  • Control and/or signal paths connect components of the system to the control center 13 .
  • Those components include biometric and heart rate detection station 8 with an attached console 7 , a traffic light 9 , an explosives detection portal 11 , undercarriage scanning apparatus 12 , one or more fixed cameras 17 , an alarm 18 and a physical barrier 19 .
  • the apparatus of the present invention can be placed in multiple locations with each installation networked so as to be controlled by a centralized management system.
  • the benefits of a centralized control include more efficient administration, timely maintenance and a reduction in security personnel required to support the multiple installations. Further for facilities having multiple entry and exit points further data can be recorded as to the time of visit and time of exit including duration of the visit. Placing centralized control yields a holistic approach to security with incidents at the installations being managed and controlled along with other security measures and so avoiding the potential for errors or redundancy.
  • spike or other suitable barriers are also located at either or both of the transition regions between:
  • the logical architecture 21 of the system of FIG. 1 is illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • the central server 22 is running number plate recognition (licence plate recognition—LPR) software 26 , undercarriage image processing software 27 and database software 28 .
  • the central server 22 presents a user interface 23 to a user.
  • a number plate recognition system 31 , driver image system 32 and undercarriage scanning system 33 also have inputs to the central server 22 .
  • FIG. 4 is a representation of the architecture of the number plate recognition system, the software 26 of which runs on the central server 22 .
  • the LPR software 26 is used to recognise the number on the vehicle number plate (which, according to the country, may be the registration or licence plate, etc.).
  • This system includes a central computer 37 (which may or may not be the same computer as the central server 22 of FIG. 3).
  • the central computer 37 interfaces by way of suitable hardware such as frame grabber 38 , communications port 39 and digital I/O card 41 with cameras and sensors 42 and 43 . It will be appreciated that, although these cameras and sensors are numbered as items 42 and 43 in FIG. 4, their physical implementations include the LPR camera 17 of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 5 is a representation of the architecture of the undercarriage scanning and driver verification systems.
  • the central computer 37 interfaces by way of a frame grabber 51 , video switch 52 and multiplexer 53 with driver verification cameras 54 and undercarriage scanning camera 56 .
  • driver verification cameras and undercarriage scan camera are numbered as items 54 and 56 in FIG. 5, their physical implementations include cameras 14 and 17 of FIG. 1 and the undercarriage scanning equipment illustrated as item 12 in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 6 is a representation of an exemplary computer display on a screen as monitored by security personnel.
  • the screen includes a current undercarriage image 70 , the vehicle number plate number and a current image of the driver 62 , as well as a past, reference undercarriage image 80 and a past, reference driver image 65 .
  • Identification of the vehicle, as it is driven into the inspection system, is initiated through cameras providing the vehicle number plate number which appears in the vehicle data image 60 , which also includes the NRIC number of the driver and previous entry and exit times and dates.
  • the current driver image 62 is compared with the stored driver image 65 for inspection by the operator.
  • the actual undercarriage image 70 “stitched” together to show a composite view on screen is then compared to the stored images 80 of the vehicle undercarriage. Where abnormalities 75 are identified, these may be further enhanced for closer detailed inspection by the operator.
  • the vehicle 6 When the vehicle 6 enters the identification and psychological profiling zone 2 , it is detected by the camera 17 , or other detection means. This detection of the vehicle triggers the number plate recognition system. The number plate recognition functions are then assigned to the camera 17 .
  • the detection of the vehicle 6 triggers the number plate recognition system and at the same time the driver is prompted to wind down the window, look into the facial identification camera adjacent to the vehicle, and place his or her hand on a sensor in the biometric recognition and heart rate detection console 7 .
  • the placement of the driver's hand on this sensor also acts as a trigger to activate the facial identification or eye scanning system.
  • the driver may also be prompted to speak so as measure a voice characteristic.
  • the heart rate data that is captured is compared with base-line pulse rate data about the driver to infer whether or not the driver is exhibiting any nervousness.
  • the voice characteristic is compared to existing voice data about the driver to determine the identity of the driver, or to infer whether or not the driver is nervous.
  • the undercarriage scanning equipment is located within a housing, either above ground or below ground level, over which the vehicle will travel.
  • the undercarriage image is created from a composite of images captured by the area scan camera whilst the vehicle is traversing the scanning equipment with the overlapping images “stitched” together to form the complete undercarriage image.
  • the image that is captured of the vehicle undercarriage is compared with previous undercarriage images from a database ( 215 of FIG. 2) and if there is a discrepancy or detected foreign objects between the images an alarm is raised ( 217 of FIG. 2) or other alerting mechanism. These foreign objects may then be highlighted and traced in high resolution on the screen enabling the operator to zoom in for a more detailed inspection.
  • the alarm or other alerting mechanism extends to audible and visual alarm means, while also activates engagable physical barriers such as retractable bollards, raised kerbs or spikes each capable of preventing the vehicle from proceeding or retreating.
  • the installation may include physical protection means so that in the case of an explosion, the extent of the damage is limited, protecting life and property. The protection means may further minimise damage to the security apparatus from the explosion.
  • the apparatus of the invention is further applicable to both fixed installations and portable installations so as to establish an installation at a temporary site for a given event.
