Abstract

Summary form only given. Current ONR and joint ONR/DARPA programs in video surveillance technology are presented. These include: omni-directional video in a panoramic periscope for submarine situation awareness and mast-mounted omni-cameras for force protection of surface combatants in harbors and for shoreline protection. Ongoing research projects on automated detection and tracking of humans and small craft for AT/FP are discussed in relation to emerging requirements. Research progress, challenges and opportunities in video-based human activity recognition are explored. New DARPA initiatives in facial expression analysis and deception detection for checkpoint screening are presented.
