U.S. Researchers Aim to Replace Human Surveillance with Computers
Computer software programmed to detect and report illicit behavior could replace human surveillance camera monitoring, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University predict.
According to an article from CNETNews, the U.S. government has funded the development of so-called automatic video surveillance technology by Alessandro Oltramari and Christian Lebiere, both researchers at Carnegie Mellon. The two men state in the article that the applications are in video surveillance, both military and civil, such as detecting a left object.
