Kelvin Hughes Partners with Cambridge Pixel to Speed Time to Market
for CxEyeT Security Display Solution
CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, April 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Kelvin Hughes
(www.kelvinhughes.com), a world leader in navigation and surveillance
solutions and the developer of the SharpEyeT solid state X-band radar,
has partnered with Cambridge Pixel (www.cambridgepixel.com) to speed
the time to market of its CxEyeT integrated multi-sensor integration
and surveillance control display solution.

Engineers within Kelvin Hughes Surveillance business in Enfield, north
of London, England, needed software components for its new display for
processing and display of radar and video in multi-sensor security
applications. With pressure on time and budget, the company turned to
sensor processing and display specialist Cambridge Pixel for a
solution from its hardware-agnostic SPx range of software modules.
Kelvin Hughes selected modules for radar acquisition, display,
multi-hypothesis target tracking, fusion, camera control, map display
and control functions. These were integrated into an easy-to-use,
touch-screen-capable display that combines sensor data from multiple
SharpEyeT radars, along with geo-referenced maps and multiple
cameras. Radar tracks are displayed in an easy-to-understand format
to assist the user to evaluate and coordinate a response through a
'detect, recognise, identify and then classify' methodology.
Jonathan Field, director of the surveillance security business at
Kelvin Hughes, said: "We have been delighted to build upon our
existing partnership with Cambridge Pixel in the development of the
CxEyeT software. It has been a resounding success and has enabled us
to develop the CxEyeT solution on time and on budget. The two teams
worked seamlessly on the project and we were impressed not just by the
software modules but also by Cambridge Pixel's responsiveness
throughout the project.
"Cambridge Pixel's best-of-breed software modules have enabled the
CxEyeT solution to be built with a modular, extensible architecture
which allows us to offer a wide spectrum of surveillance solutions
from single sensor, single cameras through to multiple nodes with
separate command and control. It perfectly complements our SxV radar
(a lightweight radome version of SharpEyeT) developed for the land
security market. We launched both products at the end of 2013 and the
combination has been really well received by our target market,
providing, as it does, proper integrated situational awareness to
unskilled operators, with minimal training requirement!"
David Johnson, Cambridge Pixel's managing director, said: "We are
delighted that Kelvin Hughes has selected our SPx software components
to provide the core processing and display capabilities at the heart
of its CxEyeT integration and surveillance display software.
"Our field-proven software components support the presentation of
multiple overlapping radar videos with underlay maps, overlay tracks
and symbology. Cameras can be selected and slaved to tracks updated
from the radar or controlled manually by an operator in response to
threats."
Kelvin Hughes CxEyeT software, launched in late 2013, is part of the
company's security surveillance portfolio. CxEyeT integrates multiple
sensors, such as radars and cameras, into a single, easy-to-use
touch-screen-capable display package. It is targeted at security and
surveillance applications including border/perimeter security and
critical infrastructure protection.
