The Blaxtair Pedestrian and Machinery Anti-Collision Camera
The only one of its kind, the Blaxtair is the only smart camera able to distinguish a person from another obstacle in real-time and alert the operator in case of danger. When combined with effective organization and best practices, this reliable and efficient device, composed of a camera, calculator, and LCD screen, is THE answer to the safety parameters imposed on companies working in the industry, materials handling, recycling, infrastructure construction, and quarry or mining.
TECHNOLOGY: Recognition of people using Image Processing
The Blaxtair uses its sensor to continuously scan the blind areas around the machine and reconstruct its environment in 3D.
The identification of the nature of each obstacle is based on powerful video recognition algorithms developed by the French Atomic Energy Commission. If a person is detected in the danger zone, depending on the imminent risk, the Blaxtair gives off a visual and sound signal to alert the driver. A control screen in the cabin allows the driver to judge the critical nature of the situation.
FAQs
The Blaxtair Pedestrian Anti-Collision Camera is a smart camera system that can distinguish a person from other obstacles in real time and alert the machine operator to danger. It combines a camera, a calculator, and an LCD screen into one integrated safety device.
Blaxtair pedestrian detection works by continuously scanning the blind areas around a machine and rebuilding the surrounding environment in 3D. Video recognition algorithms then identify whether an obstacle is a person, and the system alerts the driver if someone enters the danger zone.
Blaxtair pedestrian detection for forklift use is built around image based person recognition rather than radio or radar signals, so it does not depend on a pedestrian wearing a tag. This makes it a strong complement to radar based systems for sites with untagged foot traffic.
The Blaxtair anti collision camera runs on video recognition algorithms originally developed by the French Atomic Energy Commission. These algorithms analyze the reconstructed 3D scene around the vehicle to classify obstacles and flag genuine pedestrian risks.
The Blaxtair Pedestrian Anti-Collision Camera is used across materials handling, recycling, infrastructure construction, and quarry or mining operations. It suits any environment where heavy machinery shares space with pedestrians in areas the operator cannot see directly.
Yes, the Blaxtair is often deployed alongside other visibility and detection equipment as part of a layered safety approach. Combining it with a Kill Zone Light or a Forklift Blue Spot Light helps cover both close range blind spots and wider pedestrian zones.
AI based pedestrian detection is more reliable than manual spotting because it continuously monitors blind areas without fatigue and reacts within moments of identifying a person. This reduces reliance on line of sight alone, which is often obstructed on active work sites.
