Fujitsu announced today, as an industry first, the development of a new image-sensing technology that can thoroughly and accurately track - without blind spots - the motion paths of multiple individuals as they move while indoor. By employing ceiling-mounted multiple compact surveillance cameras to monitor designated areas, and enabling motorized and accurate extraction of the motion paths of individuals shown in images from those cameras, that technology has potential for practical use in a wide variety of applications, including surveillance of suspicious behavior, observation of consumer purchasing behavior as retail marketing, and task analysis as part of visualization of work efficiencies.

This technology will be exhibited at Fujitsu Forum 2008, which will be held May 15 and 16 at Tokyo universal Forum.
