​CUSTOMER TARGETING

Lamar Advertising used digital billboards and video analytics to pinpoint drivers who might be interested in the latest installment of the blockbuster movie franchise Transformers 5: The Last Knight. Lamar knew that certain cars were important in the movie, so it employed video analytics to recognize makes and models of cars traveling on the road. When a likely vehicle was spotted, a digital billboard displayed a targeted message—such as "ATTENTION: Your Car is an Autobot!"

Milestone Systems software and Canon IP video cameras enabled the video analytics to identify the vehicles. Many factors had to be taken into account for the digital billboard integration, such as vehicle speed, lighting, and camera angles. Because each location is different, multiple images of targeted vehicles were used to create a database to identify cars as they passed by.

Working like a facial recognition system, the solution immediately recognized a target vehicle and delivered the custom billboard advertisements accordingly, incorporating the car make and model within the message.
