Analog Security Cameras transmit the video feed via a coaxial cable. A digital video recorder (DVR) converts the analog signal to a digital signal and stores it on the hard drive.

An anchor tenant, also referred to as an anchor store or key tenant, is a significantly larger tenant in a mall, often a department store or chain of retail stores. They are usually found at the ends of shopping malls.

Anomaly detection involves the identification of events, behaviors, or objects that deviate significantly from the norm or expected patterns. In the context of video analytics, it aims to identify abnormal activities captured by security cameras.

An anonymous people counter counts people in real time, without making use of any graphical or video data. This ensures anonymity, and protects the privacy of the detected objects identified as people.

Automatic Number-Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a technology that uses optical character recognition (OCR) and image or video analytics techniques to read and capture the license plate information from vehicles.

Automatic Number-Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras are specialized security cameras designed to detect, capture, and log vehicle license plates.

An Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) is a body that manages flight traffic on behalf of a company, region or country. ANSP can be private or public legal bodies.

Air Operations Area (AOA) is the portion of the airport designed and used for aircraft landing, takeoff, or surface maneuvering including the associated hangars, navigation, and communication facilities.

Actual Off Block Time (AOBT) is the time the aircraft pushes back / vacates parking position. AOBT is equivalent to Airline / Handlers ATD – Actual Time of Departure or ACARS=OUT.

Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) systems automatically collect the number of passengers entering and leaving at each stop.

Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) Certification is a formal process through which APC systems and their implementations are evaluated and approved by recognized authorities or organizations.

An Application Programming Interface (API) is a way for two or more computer programs to communicate with each other.

Apron or Ramp is a designated area of an airport where aircraft are parked, unloaded, loaded, refueled, and boarded by passengers. The apron is typically located adjacent to the terminal building.

An Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is a small jet engine located typically in the tail section of an aircraft, which provides electrical and pneumatic power when the main engines are not running. The APU allows the aircraft to operate autonomously.

Actual Take Off Time (ATOT) is the time that an aircraft takes off from the runway. ATOT is equivalent to ATC ATD–Actual Time of Departure or ACARS = OFF.

Actual Turn-round Time (ATTT) is the time period between actual in block time and actual off block time (AOBT – AIBT).

Understanding of the target audience and analyzing the customer behavior play a crucial role in retail industry.

Average Transaction Value (ATV) refers to the average amount a consumer spends on a single purchase.

Actual Taxi-In Time (AXIT) is the time period between the Actual Landing Time (ALDT) and the Actual In-Block Time (AIBT). AXIT = AIBT - ALDT

An axle counter in the context of road traffic systems is a sensor device used to monitor vehicle traffic on roads and highways.

Actual Taxi-Out Time (AXOT) is the time period between the Actual Off-Block Time (AOBT) and the Actual Take Off Time (ATOT). AXOT = ATOT - AOBT

Background Change Detection in Video Analytics is a function which detects the change of background of a video or video stream over time. A background change can be triggered by a change in perspective, constructions or a broken camera.

Bandwidth is the maximum data rate of available information capacity on a physical communication link. Bandwidth is equivalent to the maximum available bitrate and usually measured in megabits per second (Mbps).

Business Intelligence (BI) is a process of analyzing data and presenting actionable information that helps executives, managers and employees within organizations to make informed business decisions.

A Bicycle Counter is a device installed at roads to measure bicycle traffic. Bicycle Counters can be realized with different technologies such as radar, lidar or security cameras.
