Overview

VSD is Cambridge Pixel's ready-made security and surveillance display application, incorporating many of the common security application requirements into a configurable, standalone executable that runs on a standard Windows PC.

VSD supports multiple radar and camera inputs, providing a clear display of the camera videos and radar data. The intuitive user interface has been designed with touchscreen devices in mind, so that the most commonly used controls are readily accessible within the main application window and are adjustable via large graphical control elements. The appearance of the user interface can be easily customised through configuration file settings.  

The radar portion of the display provides a geographic overview of the situation, showing all of the available radar videos, tracks and secondary data, overlaid on a clear tiled map. The camera video portion of the window shows a large display of the video from the currently selected camera, optionally with another camera video displayed as picture-in-picture. Thumbnails of all available camera feeds then allow rapid and easy selection of a specific camera.

A key feature of the VSD application is its ability to control a camera to follow a selected radar track automatically. This capability is known as slew-to-cue and is further improved in VSD by the built-in video tracking function. Video tracking uses analysis of the camera video imagery to determine the target direction. Once a track has been designated within the radar display, video tracking can provide more accurate camera positioning for enhanced slew-to-cue. A built-in knowledge of local terrain allows the camera to be slewed to a specified height above ground.
