Analogue filterAnalogue filters are a basic building block of signal processing much used in electronics. Amongst their many applications are the separation of an audio signal before application to bass, mid-range, and tweeter loudspeakers; the combining and later separation of multiple telephone conversations onto a single channel; the selection of a chosen radio station in a radio receiver and rejection of others.
Privacy engineeringPrivacy engineering is an emerging field of engineering which aims to provide methodologies, tools, and techniques to ensure systems provide acceptable levels of privacy. In the US, an acceptable level of privacy is defined in terms of compliance to the functional and non-functional requirements set out through a privacy policy, which is a contractual artifact displaying the data controlling entities compliance to legislation such as Fair Information Practices, health record security regulation and other privacy laws.
Expectation of privacy (United States)In United States constitutional law, expectation of privacy is a legal test which is crucial in defining the scope of the applicability of the privacy protections of the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It is related to, but is not the same as, a right to privacy, a much broader concept which is found in many legal systems (see privacy law). Overall, expectations of privacy can be subjective or objective.
Filtre linéaireUn filtre linéaire est, en traitement du signal, un système qui applique un opérateur linéaire à un signal d'entrée. Les filtres linéaires sont rencontrés le plus souvent en électronique, mais il est possible d'en trouver en mécanique ou dans d'autres technologies. Une réponse impulsionnelle est la sortie d'un système dont l'entrée est une impulsion de Dirac(). Les filtres linéaires peuvent être divisés en deux groupes : les filtres à réponse impulsionnelle infinie et les filtres à réponse impulsionnelle finie.
All-pass filterAn all-pass filter is a signal processing filter that passes all frequencies equally in gain, but changes the phase relationship among various frequencies. Most types of filter reduce the amplitude (i.e. the magnitude) of the signal applied to it for some values of frequency, whereas the all-pass filter allows all frequencies through without changes in level. A common application in electronic music production is in the design of an effects unit known as a "phaser", where a number of all-pass filters are connected in sequence and the output mixed with the raw signal.
Video content analysisVideo content analysis or video content analytics (VCA), also known as video analysis or video analytics (VA), is the capability of automatically analyzing video to detect and determine temporal and spatial events. This technical capability is used in a wide range of domains including entertainment, video retrieval and video browsing, health-care, retail, automotive, transport, home automation, flame and smoke detection, safety, and security. The algorithms can be implemented as software on general-purpose machines, or as hardware in specialized video processing units.
Filtre numériqueEn électronique, un filtre numérique est un élément qui effectue un filtrage à l'aide d'une succession d'opérations mathématiques sur un signal discret. C'est-à-dire qu'il modifie le contenu spectral du signal d'entrée en atténuant ou éliminant certaines composantes spectrales indésirées. Contrairement aux filtres analogiques, qui sont réalisés à l'aide d'un agencement de composantes physiques (résistance, condensateur, inductance, transistor, etc.
Digital videoDigital video is an electronic representation of moving visual images (video) in the form of encoded digital data. This is in contrast to analog video, which represents moving visual images in the form of analog signals. Digital video comprises a series of s displayed in rapid succession, usually at 24, 30, or 60 frames per second. Digital video has many advantages such as easy copying, multicasting, sharing and storage. Digital video was first introduced commercially in 1986 with the Sony D1 format, which recorded an uncompressed standard-definition component video signal in digital form.
List of government mass surveillance projectsThis is a list of government surveillance projects and related databases throughout the world. ECHELON: A signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection and analysis network operated on behalf of the five signatory states to the UKUSA Security Agreement. Data Retention Directive: A directive requiring EU member states to store citizens' telecommunications data for six to 24 months and allowing police and security agencies to request access from a court to details such as IP address and time of use of every email, phone call, and text message sent or received.
Économie de la surveillancethumb L'économie de la surveillance (ou capitalisme de surveillance) désigne un champ émergent et florissant de l’Économie tirant profit de la surveillance numérique de la population. En 2013, le chiffre d'affaires du secteur du courtage des données personnelles était trois fois supérieur au budget total annuel alloué par le gouvernement américain à ses services de renseignement ( de dollars aux États-Unis). Malgré ses enjeux socioéconomiques, légaux et éthiques, le sujet reste méconnu, même si ce secteur fait parfois les gros titres de l'actualité.
