When Martial Law begins steam-rolling in these larger cities across the CONUS, this is just one of the tools Uncle Sam will unleash to either arrest or plant “protesters” (ie Domestic Terrorist).<\/em><\/h2>\n

Considering how technology like this grows and sharpens itself exponentially, it would behoove the martial citizen to consider how something like this can be abused and in turn, circumvented when the time comes.<\/em><\/h2>\n

\"DIVA\"<\/p>\n

The program is called Deep Intermodal Video Analytics\u2014or DIVA\u2014and it seeks to locate shooters and terrorists before they strike.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The intelligence community is working on amping up people-recognition power to spot, in live videos, shooters and potential\u00a0terrorists before they have a chance to\u00a0attack.<\/h2>\n

Part of the problem with current video surveillance techniques is the difficulty of recognizing objects and people, simultaneously, in\u00a0real-time.<\/h2>\n

But\u00a0Deep Intermodal Video Analytics, or DIVA<\/span><\/a><\/em>, 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.<\/h2>\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.<\/h2>\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<\/h2>\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.<\/h2>\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.<\/h2>\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.<\/h2>\n
