由創新科技署舉辦的「創新科技嘉年華2012」於去年11月3日至11日假香港科學園舉行，機電工程署參與其中並以互動展示形式，吸引了大批市民的興趣。是次活動有超過20萬名市民到場參觀並透過展覽認識更多日常生活中的創新科技。

本署參展攤位展示了香港邊境採用的先進保安和進出管制技術。我們透過一套結合震動感應電纜、熱能影像系統、閉路電視技術的模擬邊界圍網保安裝置，讓參觀者透過互動模擬系統，了解這套系統如何偵測和辨識入侵者。攤位內亦設置了一些採用影像分析和生物辨識技術的先進進出管制設備，例如指紋和臉部辨識系統，讓市民親身體驗。我們的團隊積極向市民講解及示範，並提供關於邊界保安技術原理和應用的資訊。

InnoCarnival 2012
Showcases Border Fence Security System

EMSD attracted a lot of attention from members of the public with its interactive demonstration system at InnoCarnival 2012. Organised by the Innovation and Technology Commission, the Carnival was held at Hong Kong Science Park from 3 to 11 November, 2012. More than 200,000 visitors attended the event to learn more about innovative technologies in daily life.

The EMSD booth showcased the application of up-to-date technologies for security and access control at Hong Kong border. Visitors could interact with a border fence security model to realize how vibration sensor cables, thermal imaging system and CCTV technology are integrated to detect and identify intruders. State-of-the-art access control equipment using video analytics and biometrics technologies such as fingerprint and facial recognition systems were also set up for visitors to have first-hand experience on their application. The fascinating demonstrations were explained by an enthusiastic team of EMSD staff who provided visitors with information about the theory and application of border security technologies.
