The Full Story
Crime Mapping with CrimeVu™
Omni-Spatial Intelligence offers cutting-edge crime mapping techniques that enable law enforcement agencies and security organizations to analyze and visualize the geographic patterns and trends of criminal activities. Our advanced solutions involve the collection, analysis, and presentation of crime data using state-of-the-art Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and sophisticated mapping software.
Techniques
At Omni-Spatial Intelligence, we leverage a comprehensive suite of crime mapping techniques, including:​
​
-
Hotspot mapping: Our platforms identify areas with high concentrations of crime incidents, known as "hotspots," by clustering crime data points on maps and employing advanced statistical methods to pinpoint locations with significantly higher crime rates compared to their surroundings.
-
Kernel density estimation: Our solutions create smooth, continuous surfaces of crime density by calculating the density of crime incidents across the study area, enabling our clients to visualize the spatial distribution of crime and identify high-risk areas with precision.
-
Spatial analysis: Our team of experts utilizes various spatial statistical techniques to analyze the relationships between crime and other geographic or demographic factors, such as spatial autocorrelation, spatial regression, and geographically weighted regression.
-
Crime pattern analysis: Omni-Spatial Intelligence's advanced algorithms examine the spatial and temporal patterns of crime incidents, enabling our clients to identify patterns, trends, and potential relationships between different types of crimes or locations.
-
Journey-to-crime mapping: Our solutions map the routes taken by offenders from their home or starting point to the location of the crime, providing valuable insights into offender behavior and identifying potential areas for targeted interventions.
​
Solution
Omni-Spatial Intelligences AI software solution CrimeVu™ incorporates and integrates with several existing platforms and technologies to deliver its comprehensive crime mapping capabilities:
​
-
Hotspot mapping: CrimeVu™ utilizes industry-leading platforms such as Esri's ArcGIS and CrimeStat for advanced hotspot analysis and mapping. These platforms employ techniques like Kernel Density Estimation, Spatial Ellipses, and Getis-Ord Gi* to identify statistically significant crime hotspots.
-
Kernel density estimation: CrimeVu™ leverages the kernel density estimation functionality within Geographic Information System (GIS) software like ArcGIS and QGIS. These platforms use sophisticated algorithms to create continuous surfaces of crime density, enabling accurate visualization and analysis of high-risk areas.
-
Spatial analysis: For spatial analysis, CrimeVu™ integrates with powerful spatial statistics tools like ArcGIS Spatial Statistics Tools, GeoDa, and CrimeStat. These platforms offer a range of techniques, including spatial autocorrelation (Moran's I, Geary's C), spatial regression (Ordinary Least Squares, Geographically Weighted Regression), and cluster analysis.
-
Crime pattern analysis: CrimeVu™ incorporates specialized crime analysis software like IBM Cognos Crime Analytics, Forensic Logic COPLINK, and Ansur Technologies' crime analysis suite. These platforms offer advanced capabilities for detecting spatial and temporal crime patterns, series analysis, and identifying potential relationships between different types of crimes or locations.
​
By seamlessly integrating with these industry-leading platforms and technologies, Omni-Spatial Intelligences CrimeVu™ provides a robust and comprehensive solution for law enforcement agencies and security organizations, leveraging the latest advancements in crime mapping and spatial analysis.
