BACKGROUND Investigation into personal health has become focused on conditions at an increasingly local level, while response rates have declined and complicated the process of collecting data at an individual level. Simultaneously, social media data have exploded in availability and have been shown to correlate with the prevalence of certain health conditions. OBJECTIVE Facebook likes may be...

We present a distributed vision-based surveillance system. The system acquires and processes grey level images through one or multiple Camera Units monitoring certain area(s) via a Local Area Network (LAN) and is capable of combining information from multiple Camera Units to obtain a consensus decision. It can be trained to detect certain type of intrusions, for example pedestrians, a group of ...

In a surveillance system, video signals are generated by multiple cameras with or without spatially and temporally overlapping coverage. These signals need to be compressed, fused, stored, indexed, and then summarized as semantic events to allow efficient and effective querying and mining. This paper presents the hardware and software architecture of SfinX, a next-generation video-surveillance ...

Introduction EIDSS supports collection and analysis of epidemiological, clinical and laboratory information on infectious diseases in medical, veterinary and environmental sectors. At this moment the system is deployed in Kazakhstan at 150 sites (planned 271) in the veterinary surveillance and at 8 sites (planned 23) in human surveillance. The system enforces the one-health concept and provides...

ADVISOR is an automated visual surveillance system for metro stations which was developed as part of the project ADVISOR, involving 3 academic and 3 industrial project partners. The ADVISOR system aims at making public transport safer by automatically detecting at an early stage dangerous situations which may lead to accidents, violence or vandalism. In order to achieve this people are tracked ...

GerOSS (German Obstetric Surveillance System) is primarily composed as a system to improve treatment of extremely severe and very rare complications of pregnancy and delivery (e.g. eclampsia, HELLP syndrome (Haemolysis Elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count) or uterine rupture) typically culminating in a chaotic, uncontrollable sequence of events [1, 2] using a web based documentation and i...

The development of commercial real-time location system (RTLS) enables new ICT solutions. This paper presents an intelligent surveillance system for indoor high-security environments based on RTLS and artificial intelligence methods. The system consists of several software modules each specialized for detection of specific security risks. The validation shows that the system is capable of detec...
