In Russia, created a new security system for museums

Samara developers have created a computer vision system designed to protect valuable museum exhibits. About this, with reference to the representatives of the company "Open Code".

"An intelligent monitoring system monitors each exhibit and allows you to reliably protect museum valuables. If the system detects that one of the visitors violates the rules of the museum, it will give a warning signal. For example, if a visitor overcomes a barrier to stole or ruin an exhibit, then the system will respond with lightning speed, "says Oleg Surnin, head of Open Code.

According to planet-today.ru,, developers of technology for the protection of museum exhibits, the question arose especially sharply after the painting "Ai-Petri. Crimea" by Arkhip Kuindzhi was stolen from the Tretyakov Gallery. The canvas was simply taken out of the museum in broad daylight - neither the security nor the security system helped.

“Protecting museum objects from kidnappers and vandals is an extremely important task related to the preservation of the cultural heritage of mankind. Accordingly, we approached the development of our platform with full awareness of this fact. In the foreseeable future, the system will be tested in the Hermitage, and then the implementation of the complex will be carried out and in other museum institutions of the Russian Federation, "notes Surnin.
