2004 World Yearbook • Maritime Security died 7.3 mil- lion tons of cargo includ- ing more than 540.000 vehicles. "As a major port in the U.S. we look for advanced security technologies that provide the intelli- gence needed to effectively deny threats," said Charles White, JAX-

PORT Director of Security. "ObjectVideo's technology can distin- guish between an every day occurrence and a potential threat to provide us with actionable intelligence in real time.

Additionally, its video tripwire feature enables us to create sophisticated securi- ty rules that empowers us to quickly extend or retract perimeter lines to adjust to different MARSEC security conditions." Object Video recently received a U.S. patent for its video trip- wire feature available in ObjectVideo

VEW. Port security personnel can cre- ate virtual perimeters on land and water by simply drawing a video tripwire directly on a computer snapshot of the camera's view. Rules can be configured according to a number of criteria that allow detection based on the direction an object is moving and object type (boat, vehicle, person, etc.).

Since the lines are virtual and do not have to be physically moved, personnel can make instant adjustments in the perimeters to respond to changes in a port's security level or to address specif- ic maritime threats.

Because JAXPORT is a designated port for U.S. military cargo transporta- tion, agencies including U.S. Customs, federal protection and local law enforce- ment are involved in protecting it.
