Virageis a wholly owned subsidiary of Autonomy Corp., makers of enterprise infrastructure software. Virage, San Francisco, specializes in intelligent video analytics and automated monitoring solutions for the security, surveillance and safety markets. The company works with large systems integrators, enterprise customers and government agencies.

“On smaller projects we tend to use distributors, but generally we use specialized systems integrators and partners,” said David Humphrey, managing director of Virage Security and Surveillance.

The security and surveillance side of Virage was originally called Neurodynamics, but the name was changed after it was purchased by Autonomy, said Humphrey.

One of Virage’s offerings, its Command and Control Suite, can recognize the size and colors of objects in a crowded subway station.

Virage’s solutions are capable of: object tracking and scene analysis; counting and behavioral analysis; license plate recognition; container surveillance and management; electronic point of sale monitoring; digital/network video recording and transmission; and video forensic analysis.
