Scene to twin scanning

Assembling an urban digital twin typically requires two parallel sensing systems—one for surveying the built environment and another for tracking the dynamic movements of humans and objects. Intel's SceneScape provides a comprehensive solution to "scene to twin scanning", addressing both challenges by combining data streams from cameras and other sensors. Operators can define visual analytics queries to monitor regions of interest, cordons, and dwell time. By comparing historical analytics, present behaviors, and future predictions, deep understanding of how people interact with the built environment and each other can be revealed.

Initial applications tend to prioritize securing and monitoring sensitive areas such as airports, hospitals, retail stores, factories, and warehouses. As technologies for rapid deployment of digital twins that can model both the static built and dynamic human environment become more widespread, these tools can be leveraged for design of urban environments to maximize climate adaptation and livability benefits.
