The intelligence community is working on amping <\/strong>up people-recognition power to spot, in live videos, shooters and potential\u00a0terrorists before they have a chance to\u00a0attack.<\/p>\n

Part of the problem with current video surveillance techniques is the difficulty of recognizing objects and people, simultaneously, in\u00a0real-time.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0Deep Intermodal Video Analytics, or DIVA<\/span><\/a>, a research project out of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence,\u00a0will attempt to automatically detect suspicious activities, with the help of live video pouring in through multiple camera\u00a0feeds.<\/p>\n

ODNI<\/span>\u2019s Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency is gathering academics and private sector experts for a July 12 \u201cProposers\u2019 Day,\u201d in anticipation of releasing a work\u00a0solicitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DIVA<\/span> program will produce a common framework and software prototype for activity detection, person\/object detection and recognition across a multicamera network,\u201dIARPA<\/span> officials said in a synopsis of the project published June 3.\u00a0\u201cThe impact will be the development of tools for forensic analysis, as well as real-time alerting for user-defined threat\u00a0scenarios.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, the tech would scour incoming video surveillance and body-camera imagery from areas of interest for people and objects who could present a threat, or individuals and items that might have been involved in a past\u00a0crime.<\/p>\n

This is the type of video-recognition system that might have been used for identifying would-be suicide bombers before\u00a0the Paris and Brussels attacks, some\u00a0video analytics experts\u00a0say.<\/p>\n

Privacy laws in the United States and Europe differ, so it is unclear whether such activity-recognition software would have been legal to use on video\u00a0around the time of\u00a0the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. Nextgov<\/em>\u00a0has contacted ODNI<\/span>for\u00a0comment.<\/p>\n
