  • Abstract
    Audio and video processing promise significant enhancements to current human intensive tasks such as transportation and border surveillance. Operational solutions are now emerging that promise effective, objective, and affordable systems that provide automation of missions ranging from broad area surveillance to close in deception detection. This paper summarizes challenges and exemplifies operational solutions in both audio and video processing. Included is a detailed capability description of several operational systems and their applicability to homeland security missions.
