Herta BioSurveillance Facial Recognition Software Integration

Wavestore integrates with the full suite of Herta products: BioSurveillance, Bio Surveillance Next, BioFinder, BioAccess, BioMarketing. Additional Herta modules – a host of additional modules can be added to the Herta system to provide functionality such as automatic enrolment, and image importation.In order to facilitate integration between Wavestore and Herta there is a middleware module available from Wavestore called Herta Bridge, which is easily installed via an install wizard on each computer running Herta software.

This establishes connection to Wavestore’s Metadata Engine, which is an option you must include when specifying your Wavestore VMS edition. By changing simple setting on the Herta Bridge application, users can define the kind of event that is communicated to the Wavestore

Metadata Engine:

1. Detection event when the Herta system detects a face in front of the camera (face detection).
2. Identification event when the Herta system detects a face and then looks for a match from its database.

Images from cameras selected to facilitate facial recognition from across the site are streamed from the Wavestore VMS server to the Herta
system, which in turn checks faces against its database in real time. Herta processes the captured image and sends back any associated data to the Wavestore Metadata Engine. For real-time facial recognition applications, each Herta computer can manage up to 4 camera streams (depending on specification) and multiple computers can also be used within a system
