Thermal people detection

Gain valuable insights or just detect intruders

thermal people detection on any camera

without in-depth technical knowledge

We offer standard and FREE Thermal people detection algorithms within a visionplatform.ai license.

If you are looking for thermal people detection, be aware of the accuracy levels of standard products. An algorithm is as good as the data it’s trained on compared to the similarity of your data! We know from experience this is very difficult and that’s why almost all out-of-the-box products fail! On a sunny day it might work and then on a rainy day you suddenly have hundreds of false positive alarms.

In visionplatform.ai you take our outstanding thermal people detection algorithm but if you miss detections or get false positives you just add data and retrain the algorithm!

Besides this huge advantage, you can also build on top of it. Want to add classes? No problem, just add the label in the platform, upload your own data, label it, retrain the algorithm and re-deploy it via our platform.

Use-cases with thermal people detection algorithms

intrusion detection

intrusion detection

Intrusion detection is a critical function when deploying security cameras. While most IP cameras can detect motion or objects, accurately distinguishing between people and other elements remains a challenge—often causing false alarms. Set up visionplatform.ai with our AI-powered thermal people detection algorithm and improve it further if needed.

smart city data monitoring

smart city data monitoring

In smart cities, thermal people detection plays a key role in ensuring 24/7 monitoring of public spaces, especially in low-light or night-time conditions where regular cameras fall short. visionplatform.ai’s algorithm enables real-time tracking of pedestrian flow, crowd density, and public space occupancy using thermal imagery. This data supports safer urban environments, better traffic control, and informed planning decisions — all while preserving privacy thanks to the nature of thermal imaging.

public transportation and border control

public transportation and border control

visionplatform.ai’s thermal people detection algorithm improves safety and operational efficiency in public transportation hubs and border control zones — even in challenging conditions like darkness, smoke, or remote areas. By continuously monitoring crowd density and movement, the system helps reduce congestion, streamline passenger flow, and quickly detect unauthorized access to restricted areas such as tracks, tunnels, or gates. This real-time insight supports better incident response and safer operations at airports, train stations, and border crossings.

occupancy management and event security

occupancy management and event security

visionplatform.ai’s thermal people detection algorithm enables real-time occupancy monitoring and large-area crowd surveillance — even from drones or helicopters. By tracking crowd density and movement patterns without relying on facial or identifying features, it helps event organizers manage access control, prevent overcrowding, and ensure safety compliance. Whether during concerts, festivals, or public demonstrations, this privacy-friendly solution enhances situational awareness, enables rapid response to incidents, and ensures a safe experience for all attendees.

Critical infrastructure protection

Critical infrastructure protection

Thermal people detection provides continuous monitoring of sensitive areas such as power plants, data centers, ports,container terminals and chemical facilities. Even in complete darkness or harsh weather, visionplatform.ai enables early detection of unauthorized access or suspicious activity around perimeters and restricted zones. This enhances security response times and reduces dependency on human patrols in high-risk environments.

Search and rescue operations

Search and rescue operations

In emergency situations such as natural disasters, missing person cases, or large-area incidents, thermal people detection provides fast and reliable support to rescue teams. visionplatform.ai can be deployed via drones, helicopters, or fixed cameras to detect human presence through darkness, smoke, foliage, or rubble. This dramatically improves search efficiency, reduces response times, and increases the chances of saving lives when every second counts.
