Goals
After the bombing in London subways, investigators took four days to identify suspects of the bombers from 3,000 surveillance cameras in London subways.
The goal is to develop a semantic object detection system for real-time video processing as the event happens, as well as afterwards.
The by-product of this technology is the reduction of network data traffic and evidence retrieving time. Consequently, it would preserve privacy as the data emission becomes minimal, or on-demand.
Results
We tested algorithms on the real footage from Bombardier’s C-100 People Mover.
