Harassment Detection
Archangel identifies persistent unwanted following, cornering behaviour, and uncomfortable physical proximity, alerting staff to intervene before situations escalate.
How It Works
Under the hood
Harassment is harder to detect than violence because the physical signals are subtler. Archangel's model is trained on the spatial and temporal patterns that characterise harassment situations. It tracks when one individual consistently follows another's path, maintains unusually close proximity despite the other person moving away, or positions themselves to block exits and movement routes.
The system monitors the relational dynamics between individuals. When one person repeatedly changes direction to avoid another, and that second person mirrors those direction changes, the system recognises the pursuit pattern. It also identifies cornering behaviour where someone is backed into a physical space with limited exit options.
Confidence scores factor in duration, persistence, and the relative body language of both parties. A brief close encounter in a crowd scores differently from sustained following across multiple camera zones. When the threshold is reached, security receives the alert with a movement trail showing the pattern of behaviour across the venue.
Why It Matters
The real-world impact
Harassment in venues often goes unreported. Victims may feel embarrassed, unsure if what happened was serious enough to flag, or unable to find staff quickly enough. By the time they do report, the harasser has often moved on.
Archangel gives venues the ability to spot these patterns without requiring the victim to report. Staff can check in on the situation, offer assistance, or remove the individual. This creates a safer environment and sends a clear signal that the venue takes patron wellbeing seriously.

Capabilities
What it detects
Purpose-built detection models tuned for real-world conditions and operational environments.
Pursuit Pattern Recognition
Detects when one individual persistently follows another across a venue, tracking mirrored directional changes and maintained proximity over time.
Cornering Detection
Identifies when a person is positioned with restricted exit routes while another individual blocks or limits their movement options.
Proximity Violation Tracking
Monitors interpersonal distance and flags sustained invasive proximity, especially when the other party shows avoidance behaviour like stepping back or turning away.
Cross-Camera Trail Mapping
Links behaviour across multiple camera zones to build a complete picture of persistent following, even when the individuals move through different areas of the venue.
