The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has a requirement an Automatic Under Vehicle Inspection System (AUVIS) to be delivered to Parliament Hill located in Ottawa, Ontario by March 31, 2014.
The primary features & capabilities that must be included in an under vehicle inspection system are: The system must be capable of automatically identifying a reference image of the same or similar vehicle for automatic comparison in the system database, based solely on the vehicles undercarriage characteristics and not by way of a license plate or RFID tag or any other vehicle identifier. The system must be capable of automatically identifying any change or difference between a newly scanned vehicle's undercarriage and the undercarriage of the reference image of the same or similar vehicle without the intervention of a system operator and regardless of the vehicle speed up to 30 km/h. All changes or differences identified by the system must be automatically highlighted by the system on the system monitor without operator intervention. The system must do the comparison, not the operator. The system must produce two composite images of the complete undercarriage of a vehicle and not be sensitive to speed up to 30 km/h. Of the two contemporaneous views, one must look forward at ~60° and one backward at ~60° from the one area scan camera. Single images with a 90° viewing angle are specifically non qualifying technologies. The system must be capable of identifying each vehicle's make and model base solely on the vehicles undercarriage image. The scanner must contain an Area Scan camera capable of operating at a minimum of 200 frames per second. The Area Scan Image Processing technology must allow images to be normalized or displayed with minimal distortion, regardless of the speed of the vehicles up to 30 km/h. Running video and line scan camera technologies are specifically non qualifying technologies. The system allows for a vehicle to stop on top of the scanner for up to 10 seconds without changing the quality of the undercarriage images or the system's ability to identify any change to the undercarriage. The scanner must be environmentally sealed and contain environmental controls to cater for cold and humidity via sensors that activate circulating air through an external desiccant filter and/or heaters. The embedded vault must be made of hot dipped galvanized steel and include access holes for cable conduit and drain piping. The vault lid must be a minimum of 20mm thick to protect the scanner and light rails and be capable of being affixed to the vault via counter sunk bolts. The system must be capable of processing a vehicle within 4 seconds of the vehicle clearing the embedded scanner. The system must contain a self cleaning water sprayer to wash the system down on a preset time basis or as required by the operator. System Software The system must contain software that allows for digital stitching of a vehicle in continuous motion to create consistent high-resolution digital images regardless of vehicle speed up to 30 km/h. The system must contain software that includes digital image algorithms that will allow the system to automatically match a scanned vehicle undercarriage image with the same or similar vehicle undercarriage image contained in the system database without the use of a license plate reader or RFID. The system must contain software that will automatically detect foreign objects or changes to a vehicle undercarriage and be capable of providing both visual and audible alerts on the operator terminal. The system must contain software that provides a bi-directional, contemporaneous dual inspection view (forward and backward) of a vehicle undercarriage. The system must contain Windows SQL database software. The system must contain software that provides for remote access and servicing via the Internet from anywhere in the world. The system must contain software that allows the system to automatically distinguish between vehicle types (bus, truck, SUV, car etc) The system must contain software that provides for a "Watch List" and the ability to check a license plate against a vehicle undercarriage and alert when the two don't match or have changed. The system must contain software that allows for the system GUI and soft keyboard to be changed to any language. The system must have software capable to share information between the existing auto-vu system with security Center software. System Performance: Max Vehicle Length: 25 meters standard - longer vehicles can be scanned requires setup. Vehicle Width: 2.75 meters standard - wider vehicles w/optional settings. Vehicle Weight: >30 ton axel weight Max Vehicle Speed: 30 Km/hr Note : The existing LPR ( license plate recognition cameras) are Auto-vu cameras. Security Center software with genetic. Both systems will be able to share information as required. All information must be reliable with exact time stamps.
