Improving safety for automated forestry work

Whitepaper by the PENTA MANTIS VISION project (April 2024)

Contributions from: TNO, IDEAS, Adimec, Grass Valley

The PENTA MANTIS (iMAgiNg Technologies of Industry and Security) Vision project1 takes on the challenge to bring image capturing, image quality and processing to the next level for broadcasting & high-end security/safety systems. In the past decade image capture and video-based applications have made major leaps with the transition from HDTV to 4k ultra HD (and beyond), the introduction of high dynamic range, and the broadening of the spectral range. The overall goal of the MANTIS Vision project is to further improve image capture systems for high-end security & safety and broadcast. By combining the latest advances in image capturing, quality & processing technology with focus on system cost reducing implementations, we strive to open paths for new value adding functionality while maintaining ease of use.

An example of potential future use is the MANTIS use case Automated Forestry Work. In this use case the knowledge developed within the MANTIS project from 4 of the partners (IDEAS, TNO, Adimec and Grass Valley) is exploited to a concept of automated person detection for the operators in forestry work.
