Distributed Enhanced Processing Architecture - DEPA

All security systems perform the same fundamental task – sift through everyday events, identify those that are unusual because they pose a risk to either health or security, and then bring these events to someone’s attention. This editing process has traditionally taken place manually. Human operators observe events as they unfold through “live” monitoring and/or watch recordings of the events.

A fundamental factor in the success or failure of this approach is the human’s limited attention span. Typically, long periods of uneventful monitoring are punctuated by the occasional false alarm – this period often exceeds the attention span of a human observer. Even the most dedicated, best-trained security professional loses focus after less than an hour on duty.

To counter this problem and to aid human attention, effective security systems must provide automated solutions to assist this sifting process. The arrival of end-to-end digital IP-based systems offers a fundamental advance in the development of event-based recording techniques through intelligent analytic capabilities. However, the implementation of such solutions has been hampered by an inefficient workflow dictated by legacy system architecture. By mimicking age-old human security organizations, these systems consolidate intelligence on the back-end. This creates workflow bottlenecks that limit capabilities, drive up costs, and create systems that exceed the limits of a human’s attention span. Sony’s Distributed Enhanced Processing Architecture (DEPA) is a fundamental advance in system design that divides up processing tasks by placing analytic capabilities in third-generation network cameras matched with back-end processing capabilities. This workflow innovation has produced a new generation of systems that are inherently more efficient and effective, and also respect the boundaries of human attention. The arrival of DEPA marks a new stage in the development of security systems – a stage akin to the shift from centralized MIS-focused, mainframe based corporate computing to today’s decentralized, networked environment.
