  1. Devices III Surveillance Cameras CSE 8394

  2. Surveillance of the Borders • 235 different video surveillance systems currently in operation along America's borders (6000 miles Canada + Mexico) • A 26-camera surveillance system in Douglas, Arizona, and a 32-camera system in Blaine, Washington (Installed in 1990) • Installed in pairs (for day and night vision) • Can read the license plates and movements from 2 miles away • Remotely controlled from miles away through wireless • Problems • Won’t work above 68oF (95% of the time fails) • Very expensive (0.25 mil/camera) CSE 8394

  3. New Technologies • Near Infra Red (NIR) Camera • Simultaneous imaging in visible and near infra-red spectrum • Uses InGaAs-based focal plane array with extremely high spectral sensitivity • LIGHTGRABBER technology • Can capture images at light levels as low as 0.3 lux Demo CSE 8394

  4. Automated Video Security (AVS) • Computer automated image analysis • Automatically detect unusual events and trigger alarms • Reduces the volume of data presented to security personnel.  • Can monitor large areas and handle complex time-varying images CSE 8394

  5. AVS Components • May use existing CCTV surveillance infrastructure CSE 8394

  6. Challenges - Video Surveillance (Conventional) • Automatic detection and tracking of people • Implement simplistic approaches to incident detection • False triggers are generated by moving foliage, passing headlights, cloud shadows etc. • Useful only in highly constrained environments CSE 8394

  7. AVS Solutions • Maximum detection and tracking with minimal false triggers • Can detect stationary objects (packages) introduced into the scene • Sophisticated algorithms • Temporal processing • Model based analysis CSE 8394

  8. AVS Applications • Perimeter security • Interior security • Under vehicle surveillance • Safety • Warning on large animals, joggers • Data acquisition • Traffic data • Counting Bee project to detect explosives Demo page CSE 8394

  9. Integrated Surveillance Intelligence System (ISIS) • State-of-the-art technology to monitor borders from distance • Three components • Remote video surveillance (RVS) • Unattended ground sensors • ICAD software CSE 8394

  10. Underwater Surveillance • Distributed Surveillance Sensor Network (DSSN) • Use of small, inexpensive undersea vehicles (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) for surveillance applications • Based on MIT’s Autonomous Ocean Sampling Network (AOSN) • Sensors communicate acoustically CSE 8394

  11. DSSN (cont’d) CSE 8394

  12. DSSN (cont’d) CSE 8394

  14. Other Side of the Fence CSE 8394

  15. Who are Against Surveillance? • SCP (Surveillance Camera Players!) • Movement to destroy the myth that only suspects fear being watched • Proclaims that any amount of video monitoring will prevent terrorism • Points to the statistical fallacy of facial recognition in a crowd CSE 8394
