Person retrieval largely relies on the appearance features of pedestrians. This task is rather more difficult in surveillance videos due to the limitations of extracting robust appearance features brought by the cross-view and cross-camera data with lower ...
We propose a deep-learning approach for people detection on depth imagery. The approach is designed to be deployed as an autonomous appliance for identifying people attacks and intrusion in video surveillance scenarios. To this end, we propose a fully-conv ...
This thesis assesses the surveillance operated on the mobile phone network by governmental actors (intelligence agencies, police, army) and the relationship between monitored spaces and their users. Indeed, some new surveillance devices used by intelligenc ...
In this article, I discuss the process of designing an object to protest against a specific surveillance device: the IMSI catcher, a controversial object used to monitor GSM networks. Being widely used in protests, I develop a tactical approach based on ob ...
This paper has been written as a response to « Six critical questions about smart specialization » by R. Hassink and H. Gong. The paper starts with a reminder of what has not changed in terms of the basic principles and raison d’être of smart specializatio ...
Emerging new imaging technologies, such as HDR (High Dynamic Range) or UHD (Ultra High Definition), have a significant impact in various applications. One of them, namely, visual privacy protection in video surveillance is an important and increasingly pop ...
Contextual adaptation of ASR can be very beneficial for multi-accent and often noisy Air-Traffic Control (ATC) speech. Our focus is call-sign recognition, which can be used to track conversations of ATC operators with individual airplanes. We developed a t ...
Mini-drones are increasingly used in video surveillance. Their areal mobility and ability to carry video cameras provide new perspectives in visual surveillance which can impact privacy in ways that have not been considered in a typical surveillance scenar ...
The widespread usage of digital video surveillance systems has increased the concerns for privacy violation. Since video surveillance systems are invasive, it is a challenge to find an acceptable balance between privacy of the public under surveillance and ...
This paper describes the progress of the DEMO design and R&D activities in Europe. The focus is on a systems engineering and design integration approach, which is recognized to be essential from an early stage to identify and address the engineering and op ...
