    Airport Outputs

    Attention, dwell, navigation, friction, incident and KPI views

    Airports already hold rich spatial data from passenger movement, infrastructure and operations.

    For any airport, Lumirithmic automates camera/sensor interpretation, selects suitable CV/ML models, tunes them for the airport environment and exposes configurable outputs. This extracts relevant and contextual behavior intelligence that can be used with agentic AI tooling.

    AIRPORT REQUIREMENT

    Move beyond crowd counting


    • Measure what passengers looked at and for how long.
    • Understand how passengers navigate through a space from curb to gate.
    • Identify where passengers slow down, hesitate, turn back or cluster.
    • Measure whether screens, signage, layouts or operational changes improve movement.
    • Support passenger experience, operations, commercial planning and safety use cases.
    Attention and wayfinding context

    Technical translation

    A configurable camera + sensor ML layer built for attention, dwell, navigation and friction analytics.

    INPUT LAYER

    Airport inputs and raw sensor data


    • Fixed CCTV and overhead camera feeds.
    • Lidar, occupancy and spatial sensors where available.
    • Digital screen, signage, retail, gate and service-point locations.
    • Airport zone maps and curb-to-gate journey layouts.
    • Flight waves, intervention dates, peak periods and known disruption windows.
    • Optional personnel video sources such as bodycam or smart-glasses footage for review and incident context.
    Raw spatial data and movement overlays
    CAMERA AUTOMATION LAYER

    Lumirithmic interpretation of the input data


    • Detect passengers, groups, queues, objects, screens, signs, counters and decision zones.
    • Track anonymised movement within selected camera views.
    • Estimate orientation, dwell, stop-start behaviour, path direction and speed change.
    • Extract behavioural events: attention, engagement, hesitation, path reversal, queue confusion and clustering.
    • Convert raw footage into structured, timestamped events that can be searched, reviewed and measured.

    • Marks events with timestamp, camera, location, duration and confidence score.
    • Links detected events to nearby footage for fast review and escalation.
    • Supports natural-language search such as "show unattended item events near Checkpoint 3 between 2pm and 4pm."
    • Extends to other incident classes, including crowd surge, person down, restricted-zone entry, blocked exits and queue overflow.

    Outcomes

    • Faster incident detection
    • Reduced manual review time
    • Higher escalation accuracy
    • Consistent event documentation
