High-definition (HD) is a hot trend in the video surveillance industry in 2010; may 3D become the next hotspot technology in the video surveillance industry in 2011? In the field of consumer and professional broadcasting, 3D technologies are increasingly being received and disseminated, and recently IMS Research has observed many examples of 3D technologies entering the video surveillance market. At the Aziz Trade Show 2010, a few exhibitors exhibited 3D video surveillance products. However, not to mention "cheerful" does not say, in the end what is the benefit of applying 3D technology in video surveillance?
The most important benefit 3D brings to the security industry is depth perception. The extra dimension of depth may pave the way for more accurate and advanced analysis algorithms. One of the best examples is the difference between planar and non-planar objects; the confusion between shadows and entities can be significantly reduced by introducing depth.
IMS Reseach does not believe that 3D technology in 2011 can be widely recognized among security suppliers or end users. The high price of 3D monitors, the high cost of cameras, the innate deficiencies in supplier support, and the inherent technological conservatism in the security industry will all be constraints. However, I believe 2011 will indicate that video surveillance is beginning to move toward 3D. It is estimated that more and more manufacturers will begin to experiment with 3D applications and begin planning to add 3D to their technology development route.
