Software-supported prototyping and real-time implementation of intelligent multisensor-based safety control systems

Objective

In the proposed project, the design of an electronic surveillance system for the detection of human intruders into protected areas on the basis of multi-sensor input signals will be demonstrated. Using already simulated neural network-based algorithms, the focus of the proposed Demonstration Project will be on integrated system realisation in one single software environment for all design steps. These include graphical input of the neural network topology, source and DSP program development supported by the tool's automatic code generation features, system evaluation on the same standardised PC-based platform, and final evaluation of the design process using the DSP-based target prototype system. Expected impacts will be on the minimisation of design costs and time-to-market as compared to traditional design methods.

Furthermore, easy maintenance and further improvements of the target system is expected to be supported by future releases of the prototype Design tool. One example will be an improved functionality by tool-supported integration of Fuzzy Concepts into the next version of the surveillance system.

Since classical business areas show saturation effects, the proposed project is expected to strengthen Alcatel's activities in the development of new strategic market opportunities, such as intelligent information processing products. Alcatel SEL's interest in participating is related to the introduction of novel design methods for Artificial Neural Network and Fuzzy Logic-based information processing systems and has therefore a strategic dimension. Hence, a next generation prototype software tool will be used for rapid prototyping and fast realisation of a Neural Network-based product for the evolving market of security systems and services.
