IDIS A-Cut object tracking technology accelerates real-time video surveillance operations

IDIS A-Cut is a transformative AI-powered technology from IDIS that enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of live monitoring video surveillance operations. It is designed to ensure that surveillance users have complete situational awareness and a new enhanced rapid response tool, overcoming the challenge of locating crucial scenes, featuring objects or people of interest among vast amounts of video footage.
 
A-Cut automatically extracts the best representative image of any target object or person, crops the image, and presents it in a way that makes it easy for operators to find. By simply clicking on the cropped image, the operator is automatically taken to the precise moment in the recorded video stream when the object last appears.
 
With this user-friendly capability, A-Cut provides operators with immediate access to key events, significantly accelerating incident verification. Each cropped image is indexed as a searchable visual moment, allowing for rapid identification of persons or objects of interest across video footage, tracking of movements, and enabling the quick formation of an accurate picture of a sequence of events.
 
The cropped images become even more powerful search tools when combined with IDIS AI Search functions powered by IDIS’s highly accurate deep learning engine. Every cropped image is classified into three categories: people, faces and vehicles.  
 
To make tracking even easier, A-Cut combined with AI Search also identifies object attributes and allows filtered searches—for example, searching for people by age and gender, by clothing color, or whether they have accessories such as glasses, hats, masks, or bags; or searching for vehicles by color or type.
 
A-Cut will help organizations respond more quickly to potential threats, allowing intervention at an earlier stage, says Dr. Seong-Jin Yun, Head of R&D Center Advance Technology Division and SVP, IDIS.
 
“A-Cut technology will prove invaluable in a wide range of monitoring applications,” Yun says. “Whether you’re safeguarding public spaces, overseeing retail operations, or managing security at sensitive facilities, A-Cut delivers unmatched speed, clarity, and control—helping your team retain comprehensive situational awareness and respond quickly and appropriately to a security threat or safety incident.”
