Use case

Access Control for Secure Areas

Reliably recognizing safety helmets and high-visibility vests

Basler offers an embedded vision system well-suited for access control at construction sites and many other secure areas. This system uses artificial intelligence to determine if people are allowed to enter secure areas by checking whether or not they are wearing safety helmets and high-visibility vests.
Access control for secure areas

Secure identification and classification

The system first identifies people who want to enter the secure area. Then the Deep Learning algorithm classifies objects (in this case the helmets and high-visibility vests), enabling the system to recognize whether the lead person is wearing the required safety gear. The system will only grant access if both the safety helmet and vest are present.

A dashboard displays the evaluated data, showing how many people were allowed or denied access.

Software solution with Deep Learning

The main component of this solution is the application software, which is based on a customized Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). This model uses the latest Deep Learning and on-device processing techniques for a fast and reliable response. The CNN is trained on the host side, while its execution (inference) takes place on the device itself.

This safety system offers:

  • High reliability and speed

  • Lower labor costs with improved safety standards

  • A robust system optimized for image processing

  • Industry-proven, durable hardware

  • Various integration options thanks to a cost-efficient, slim design

  • Extendable neural network for flexibility in deployment
