❝ Automatic recognition of sounds related to threats
Software is being developed that automatically detects sound events such as broken glass, gun shots, explosions, screams, and cries for help, and also determines the sources of such sounds. High accuracy of the systems will enable practical applications.

Potential application: Automatic detection and localisation of a threat based on sound analysis.

Detection of dangerous objects
Research groups are developing algorithms that are designed to detect dangerous objects in a person’s hands (e.g. a knife or a gun) in video footage. It is obvious that situations with a high degree of complexity (such as a crowded scene) may lead to false positives. Accuracy will be affected by such factors as the number and placement of cameras, and lighting conditions. Therefore, full analysis of the benefits may require live trials.

Potential application: Automatic real-time detection of dangerous objects based on CCTV image analysis.

Detection of abandoned luggage
INDECT research groups are developing a system employing innovative video analytics algorithms for the automatic detection of abandoned luggage in airport terminals and railway stations. If the person who has abandoned an object does not return within a pre-defined time-period, a message can be sent warning of an unusual event.

Potential application: Automatic detection of abandoned luggage employing innovative video analytics algorithms on CCTV footage.

Detection of robberies and similar threats
INDECT is designing a tool which makes it possible to identify such events as robberies, including detection of human cries for help.

Potential application: Automatic detection of robberies based on analysis of CCTV recording.

System for threat monitoring based on social support network
The system is designed to monitor threats integrated with information coming from society and a Geographic Information System (GIS). The main focus is on improving distributed knowledge acquisition and management. An example scenario illustrates how citizens and police officers can cooperate with high efficiency and at low cost.

An example of the system would be the scenario where a citizen sends information about a traffic accident. Compared to existing emergency systems (such as “999”), the proposed system will provide more complete information (including the exact location of the accident, multimedia content, etc.), resulting in faster and more efficient response from the appropriate emergency services.

Potential application: Collecting information about threats from society.

he INDECT project adopts a new approach based on threat monitoring (also known as “black/dark screen monitoring”). In contrast to the traditional approach, it focuses on potentially threatening situations, and gives the operator access to the video only when his attention is actually needed. The system automatically detects dangerous events and alerts the operator, who makes the final decision about the action that needs to be taken. The process is carried out in accordance with all relevant regulations .

The research conducted within the project aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of existing video monitoring systems.

INDECT is not installing any cameras in the EU; nor is it filming people at random. It is not connected to any existing database or social network.

In the area of “Threat Detection in Computer Networks” the research focuses on identification of sources which distribute child pornography, or information related to the illegal trade in human organs.

One of the main tools developed within this category is INACT, a system for rapid detection of child pornography on storage devices (mainly hard drives) captured by police forces on the basis of a warrant. INACT is especially useful if the illegal content is hidden in large data volumes.

The final category focuses on the development of “Data and Privacy Protection” techniques.,

There are two main research directions related to this category – development of digital watermarking, and cryptographic algorithms. The digital watermarks are used to secure multimedia content against malicious tampering, and to provide a novel privacy protection mechanism. The approach adopted enables sensitive information, such as faces or license number plates, to be collected and displayed to authorized system users only.

The development of new cryptographic algorithms delivers enhanced security for both data transmission and storage. A modern symmetric cipher has been designed, verified, and implemented both in software and hardware. This research also addresses the potential of adopting quantum cryptography to further improve the security of the solutions developed.

un projet européen de développement de technologies et d’algorithmes pour l’analyse des images de vidéos surveillance, l’analyse des flux réseaux et les techniques de cryptage pour les données privées. Le tout sous le prétexte (comme c’est original !) de lutte contre la pédo-pornographie ou le terrorisme... Ou comment avancer sans sourciller vers le développement de technologies potentiellement liberticides (voir l’onglet « Etical issues » pour avoir l’esprit tranquille)
