"As areas within the forest are very wide, valuable trees and trunks have been often stolen and it is hard for the police to catch the culprits." explained a Forestry Bureau official from the Council of Agriculture in Taiwan. "Though every consideration was given to increased manpower to guard the areas and to installing LED electrical fences, these were still either not efficienct or too expensive."

According to the requirements raised, TDV proposed its Moving Object Detection solution to the Forestry Bureau for their woods and tree trunk protection. TDV's robust Moving Object Detection features anti-lighting and environment-proof protection, and further required no adjustment on parameter settings.

TDV Moving Object Detection algorithm returns to the nature of the problem-- it converts images into another dimension and highlights the features of the object to reduce the impact of interference to a minimum. This is why TDV's solution requires no parameter adjustments to adapt to various lighting conditions, including shadow interference. Compared to similar algorithms on the market, TDV believes that its algorithm can achieve higher performance with less computing power consumption.

TDV IVS and DSP solutions exploit the characteristics of DSP to achieve, what they maintain are, better results than similar software executed on PCs to perform complex algorithms. Further, based on the moving object's behavioural characteristics, TDV can make out the object's type or action, such as walking people can be distinguished from cars or cats and dogs, or the action of a human climbing over a wall can be distinguished from a cat jumping on to and down from the wall, etc.
