Sound Recognition

Zenitel AS, supplier of the STENTOFON brand of security communication systems, and Audio Analytic Ltd, a sound classification firm, announce a licensing agreement integrating Audio Analytic‚Äôs new sound recognition technology with STENTOFON communication products….

According to the companies, this integration of audio technology will allow STENTOFON intercoms and information/help points to automatically alert security CCTV operators to car thefts or break-ins (car alarm detection), office or building break-ins (glass break detection), verbal and physical violence in hospitals, prisons, reception areas, (aggression detection), and firearm crimes (gunshot detection). The intercom analytics will do what video can’t: detect crimes and events by analyzing audio; detect off-camera events or areas where cameras are not located; and detect events regardless of lighting conditions.<br><br>Audio Analytic’s technology is designed to recognise complex sounds by using advanced psycho-acoustic modelling, the science behind how humans distinguish and understand the meaning of sound. Audio Analytic develops and markets software that recognises sounds by means of computer analysis. The CoreLogger sound recognition software can detect a variety of sounds depending on the type of Sound Packs installed with ambient noise.<br><br>“This new audio analytic technology, integrated into our intercoms, will recognise a range of sounds including voice aggression and even key words that might be spoken in a heated or violent situation,” said Kenneth Dastol, CEO of Zenitel. “Intercoms in the past have had a very small degree of accuracy and consistency in identifying unusual sounds. The difference now, with this advanced software, is the capacity and degree of precision that it provides. This integration brings an entirely new level of surveillance and security for all types of applications.”<br><br>“We are very excited about this collaboration. Zenitel is a leading provider of intercoms and we are pleased that they have selected our solution as being the best technology for their needs,” said Dr. Christopher Mitchell, CEO of Audio Analytic. “With the significant domain expertise of both companies, we are looking forward to working together to make safer environments for people and organisations the world over.”
