A System for Video Surveillance and Monitoring The thrust of CMU research under the DARPA Video Surveillance and Monitoring (VSAM) project is cooperative multi-sensor surveillance to support battlefield awareness
Under our VSAM Integrated Feasibility Demonstration (IFD) contract, we have developed automated video understanding technology that enables a single human operator to monitor activities over a complex area using a distributed network of active video sensors
The goal is to automatically collect and disseminate real-time information from the battlefield to improve the situational awareness of commanders and staff
Other military and federal law enforcement applications include providing perimeter security for troops, monitoring peace treaties or refugee movements from unmanned air
