A new press release posted on EurekAlert! features Associate Professor Paul Schrater's work on video surveillance. Schrater, Komal Kapoor, Nisheeth Srivastava and Christopher Amato (CSAIL) use mathematics on video surveillance to reach a compromise between the accuracy of an alert (which would trigger an alarm unneccesarily) and the speed needed to allow security staff to respond to an intrusion.
Accoring to Amato, "In addition to port and airport security, the system could monitor video information obtained by a fleet of unmanned aircraft. It could also be used to analyze data from weather-monitoring sensors to determine where tornados are likely to appear, or information from water samples taken by autonomous underwater vehicles."
