"Surveillance platform based on multi-source video analytics, localized data and cognitive interfaces" (SV3D)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2013,

"The current surveillance systems used in big buildings or infrastructures are based on the juxtaposed display of multiple alarms, sensors, and independently captured and processed video feeds. That array of inputs generates such a volume of information that is near to impossible to manage by the system users. The SV3D project aims at designing and implementing a security software platform to face ...
