Security in Football Stadiums Under Pressure: How Sky-Walker Can Restore Order

Football stadiums are facing a safety challenge ⚽🔐

It's heating up in the Belgian football world, and not just because of the competition on the field. The recent Zwanzederby between Union and RWDM is under high tension, with the Brussel South Police Zone taking extra security measures. In this article, we'll discuss the growing security issues in football stadiums and how an advanced PSIM platform like Sky-Walker can help improve the situation.

Increasing Unrest and Security Measures 🚨

After two intense encounters between Union and Anderlecht, the Zwanzederby between league leader Union and promoted team RWDM is on the schedule. The South Police Zone is taking extra precautions due to the risky nature of the match. This includes a significantly reduced number of tickets for RWDM supporters, extra police "spotters" in plainclothes to maintain calm, and reduced police visibility to prevent provocations.

These measures are intended as a deterrent, given the rivalry between the teams and RWDM's recent performance, currently hovering at the fourteenth position. However, supporters feel targeted, and Marc Cortois, the president of the RWDM supporters' federation, emphasizes that the majority of their fans are 'good family men.'

Sky-Walker & VAIBS: Harnessing the Power of AI

The true strength of Sky-Walker's PSIM platform comes to light when seamlessly integrating VAIBS (AI Video Analytics).

1) Cross-Camera Tracking

Effortlessly select a target for camera tracking with the Cross-Camera Tracking feature. This functionality allows automatic tracking of individuals through the software, ensuring optimal security, particularly in crowded environments like football stadiums where visually following a person can be challenging.

2) Weapon Detection

Train the software to identify weapons in various formats, adapting to the specific circumstances of different locations. Recognizing a weapon in a football stadium might differ from identifying one in other ennvironments.

3) Suspicious Route Activity

Receive notifications when an individual deviates from the expected trajectory, such as a football fan attempting to exit through an entrance or making an unauthorized entry onto the field.

4) Facial Recognition

Link the facial recognition technology to a blacklisted database containing individuals with a history of criminal activities or bad reputations as a "football fan". This ensures they cannot enter the stadium for a specified period, enhancing security measures.

5) Emotion Detection

Automatically identify emotions, particularly anger, in the faces of football fans. This proactive feature allows quicker reactions, helping to prevent potential outbreaks and contribute to maintaining a safe environment for everyone.

Conclusion ✨

In a time when security in football stadiums is becoming an increasing concern, advanced technologies like Sky-Walker's PSIM platform with VAIBS functionalities can help create a safer and more controlled environment. Through the integration of AI video analysis, security teams can quickly respond to unwanted incidents, providing both supporters and players with a safer sports experience.
