Description

Blaise Diagne de Diass International Airport (AIBD), airport in the Senegalese capital Dakar, will be equipped with video surveillance with facial recognition. The video surveillance with facial recognition will also make it possible to monitor operations with cameras of various types installed throughout the airport. In addition to facial recognition, the system will make it possible to identify people as soon as they enter the bottlenecks that have been defined.

L’Aéroport international Blaise Diagne de Diass (AIBD), aéroport de la capitale sénégalaise Dakar, sera doté d’une vidéo surveillance avec reconnaissance faciale, a annoncé le Secrétaire général de la Haute autorité des aéroports du Sénégal (HAAS), le colonel Ababacar Sédikh Diouf.

"Avec le nouveau système qui va être mis en œuvre, on anticipe déjà parce qu’étant intelligent et qui prend en compte même le positionnement d’un aéronef ainsi que les intrusions qui sont signalées avec des alertes pour que la gendarmerie et les personnels des compagnies puissent réagir en temps réel", a expliqué le SG du HAAS.

Le colonel Diouf a ajouté que la vidéo surveillance avec reconnaissance faciale va aussi permettre de faire un suivi des opérations avec des caméras de types divers installées un peu partout dans l’aéroport.

Selon lui, outre la reconnaissance faciale, le système va permettre d’identifier des personnes dès qu’elles entrent dans les goulots d’étranglement qui ont été définis.

"Tout ce qui se passera à l’aéroport sera vu sur nos écrans. La vidéo va nous signaler les identités et les personnes suspectes vont être suivies et repérées. Ce qui nous permettra de faire un contrôle beaucoup plus ciblé", a fait savoir Ababacar Sédikh Diouf. [CiteRef::znvZTENetViewCreates2022]]
