Titel
Critical event detection along EU borders - an experimental system for interoperable information and sensor data sharing
Abstract
Harbours are important nodes of trading and travelling. They are extremely vulnerable and prone to terrorist attacks, smuggling and illegal immigration. To achieve enhanced situation awareness it is necessary to fuse sensor and information data. By automated fusion of referenced and associated data an aggregation of raw sensor data is achieved. Within the project SOBCAH (Surveillance of Borders, Coastlines and Harbours), an architecture was developed and tested that supports the sharing of information from heterogeneous sources. Additionally techniques of data fusion within video data were used to enhance information and provide operators with relevant details of an event.
