This chapter presents a collection of intelligent video technologies that can be adapted for troop and military installation protection.
Abstract
Troop and military installation protection requires that modern computer vision methods be harnessed to enable a comprehensive approach to contextual awareness. These technologies include aerial analysis for object detection and tracking, site-wide tracking from networks of fixed video cameras, person detection from moving platforms, biometrics at a distance, and facial analysis for the purposes of inferring intent. The authors hypothesize that a robust approach to troop protection will require the synthesis of all these technologies into a comprehensive system of systems. (Publisher abstract provided)
