Title

INDECT - Intelligent Information System Supporting Observation, Searching and Detection for Security of Citizens in Urban Environment

Code

7E09021

Summary

The main objectives of the INDECT project are: • to develop a platform for: the registration and exchange of operational data, acquisition of multimedia content, intelligent processing of all information and automatic detection of threats and recognition of abnormal behaviour or violence, • to develop the prototype of an integrated, network-centric system supporting the operational activities of police officers, providing techniques and tools for observation of various mobile objects, • to develop a new type of search engine combining direct search of images and video based on watermarked contents, and the storage of metadata in the form of digital watermarks, • to develop a set of techniques supporting surveillance of internet resources, analysis of the acquired information, and detection of criminal activities and threats. The main expected results of the INDECT project are: • to realise a trial installation of the monitoring and surveillance system in various points of city agglomeration and demonstration of the prototype of the systém with 15 node stations, • implementation of a distributed computer system that is capable of acquisition, storage and effective sharing on demand of the data as well as intelligent processing, • construction of a family of prototypes of devices used for mobile object tracking, • construction of a search engine for fast detection of persons and documents based on watermarking technology and utilising comprehensive research on watermarking technology used for semantic search, • construction of agents assigned to continuous and automatic monitoring of public resources such as: web sites, discussion forums, UseNet groups, file servers, p2p networks as well as individual computer systems, • elaboration of Internet based intelligence gathering system, both active and passive, and demonstrating its efficiency in a measurable way.
