Dallmeier presented their latest video solutions for
airport security and operational efficiency at
Inter Airport Europe 2017.
With the Panomera® multifocal sensor system, Dallmeier demonstrated the latest technology for airport security at the inter airport trade fair. Panomera® is a patented camera technology, which was specially developed to enable comprehensive video surveillance of expansive areas. The multifocal sensor technology makes it possible to display wide expanses as well as long distances in unequalled resolution quality, in real time and at high frame rates of up to 30fps – and the area can be monitored from a single location. An outstanding feature of the system is its unique combination of an overall view with simultaneous high detail resolution at every distance. One Panomera® with eight sensors can replace as many as 35 standard megapixel cameras.
This offers many advantages for airport security, whether on take-off or landing runways, the taxiways and hangars, the terminal buildings and baggage handling systems, car parks or access roads. At airports, huge premises with a variety of areas must be monitored around the clock. The multifocal sensor technology provides a comprehensive overview of all activity around the airport and airfield. Besides the documentation of take-offs and landings, queues of aircraft at the runway, cargo and goods during loading or repairs and construction works can be fully documented and checked. In addition, debris or parts on the runway or the aircraft taxiways or fatigue cracks on the runway can be detected reliably.
In conjunction with intelligent video analysis and management systems, the monitoring of all landside and airside areas contributes significantly to the overall safety and security of visitors and passengers as well as maintaining smooth operations across the airport. Since security personnel are provided with a comprehensive overview of the entire airport, regardless of where their individual focus may be at any given time, they can react quickly to any incidents. Video technology can therefore assist airports with the implementation of the Europe-wide optimisation concept of Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM). A-CDM specifically aims to enhance the operational efficiency of airports, which opens up various application areas for video technology.
