Suspect Search takes into account three parameters -- a<br />

full body image, the unique human signature <strong>of</strong> a person<br />

(e.g. size and the way they walk), and the textures<br />

and colors associated with that person like their clothes,<br />

accessories, hair, or skin. The Suspect Search algorithm<br />

analyzes, tags, sorts, and stores images in a database according<br />

to these parameters, increasing search accuracy.<br />

Furthermore, calculations are done in real-time. Video is<br />

analyzed as it is captured, so searches can begin immediately<br />

and results are available within seconds. Another<br />

differentiator is Suspect Search’s ability to simultaneously<br />

search across multiple camera feeds. Once the<br />

target has been located, Suspect Search’s geo-spacial<br />

capabilities allow operators to trace and retrace the suspect’s<br />

route to predict patterns <strong>of</strong> movement for quick<br />

apprehension.<br />

SUSPECT SEARCH BENEFITS<br />

By providing near real-time, actionable information<br />

about the whereabouts<br />

and movements <strong>of</strong><br />

persons <strong>of</strong> interest,<br />

Suspect Search can<br />

accelerate response<br />

times and effect positive<br />

outcomes, whether<br />

that means finding<br />

a lost child faster,<br />

apprehending suspects<br />

quicker, or avoiding<br />

costly shutdowns.<br />
