Special Session for EU Projects: 16 July, 09:30-11:00
|
This year we will have a special session (16.July.2015, organised by the LASIE Project) of invited talks by relevant EU projects.
We have invited presentations related to EU-funded projects especially in the areas of security, crime prevention, imaging systems and applications, social impact of such technologies and any other relevant fields. We offer the opportunity to disseminate your results through oral presentations, posters and demonstrations. During the conference we expect that there will be opportunities to hear from and to network with end users, practitioners, suppliers and researchers. We will have a special EU Projects session on the 16th July 2015. We will not require papers for the presentations on those days, but you are free to submit using the normal call for papers in this conference. Projects presenting on the special half day session can have one complementary delegate attend the full conference and will be offered exhibition space for demonstrating results to the conference delegates.
Please contact Dr Apostolos Axenopoulos for further details on the arrangements.

PARIS will define and demonstrate a methodological approach for the development of surveillance infrastructure which enforces the right of citizens for privacy, justice and freedom and takes into account the evolving nature of such rights, e.g. aspects that are acceptable today might not be acceptable in the future, and the social and ethical nature of such rights, e.g. perception of such rights varies.
The methodological approach will be based on two pillars, first a theoretical framework for balancing surveillance and privacy/data protection which fully integrates the concept of accountability, and secondly an associated process for the design of surveillance systems which takes from the start privacy (i.e. Privacy-by-Design) and accountability (i.e. Accountability-by-Design).
The theoretical framework will first be defined in a generic way and guidelines will be provided to define specialized conceptual frameworks (e.g. for a given country), which are called SALT frameworks (Social / ethicAl / Legal / Technological). Examples of SALT frameworks will be provided. The case of SALT frameworks interplay (i.e. exchanging surveillance data) will be analysed. A framework management tool will be developed (1) to allow for the creation and edition of a conceptual framework and (2) to subsequently act as a reference to surveillance system designers.
A SALT compliant design process will then be defined, i.e. surveillance and privacy balance according to the specialized framework will be ensured through the process. Two use case will be demonstrated, one based on video search technology which focuses on the archived data, and one based on biometrics technology which focuses on embedded systems sensor like data. The two use cases will used different SALT frameworks. The resulting methodology will be promoted through associations and standardization bodies.
The project is 36-months long and has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement number 312504.
Martin Boyer: is working as research engineer at AIT. He graduated in electronics from FH Technikum Wien in 2003. During 2002 and 2003 he developed digital filter and data transmission systems to measure the state of power-grid overhead and underground cables. From 2003 to 2006 he worked as a software developer in the field of engine control units especially improving adaptive cruise control systems and contributing to a patent in the field of injector drift compensation. From November 2006 he worked as a software architect on research projects with the Austrian national railways in the field of track geometry and applied geodesy. He joined AIT in 2011 as research engineer in the area of video and security technology with a strong focus on distributed computation of video processing tasks. The resulting system is utilized in multiple projects, among others as base for the video processing of ABC systems in the FastPass project, as well a use case demonstration in the PARIS project.
Stephan Veigl: has an MSc in Computer Science from Vienna University of Technology. He is a software engineer at AIT focusing on modern concepts and architectures for video and image processing. Mr. Veigl has researched and implemented tracking algorithms for embedded systems as well as desktop computers. Currently, he is working on the software design of a modular, service based video analytics system capable of processing both, offline and live data. This system is utilized in multiple projects, among others as base for the video processing of ABC systems in the FastPass project, as well a use case demonstration in the PARIS project. |
| P-REACT |
Petty Crimes (also known as Volume Crime) take place on a daily basis affecting citizens, local communities, business owners and infrastructure owners. Petty Crime incidents such as theft, criminal damage and anti-social behaviour are on the rise in Europe due to the economic crisis and in turn incidents adversely impact the local socioeconomic environment.
The P-REACT project will design and develop a low cost surveillance platform that will detect Petty Crime incidents. The solution will encompass intelligent video and audio sensors to detect petty crime incidents, a cloud based monitoring, alert detection and storage platform. Technology trends in computer vision, motion detection, video retrieval, semantic video analysis and cloud technology will be exploited.
The solution will focus on connecting citizens, business owners, infrastructure owners and security and law enforcement personnel so that Petty Crime incidents can be effectively dealt with and prevented in the future.
The project will ensure that legal, ethical and end user needs are properly balanced and addressed ensuring a 'Privacy-by-design' solution approach.
Juan Arraiza: Staff Researcher at Vicomtech, leader of security related R&D projects and Project Coordinator of the FP7 P-REACT project. He graduated in Computer Science from Deusto University in 1997. After a MPhil in Software Engineering at Deusto University (1998-1999) he first worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers as an E-Business consultant (1999-2000) and then he moved to Thomson Reuters Aranzadi where he worked as software engineer, then as project manager, and finally as the manager of the Project Management Office (2000-2012). Juan is PMP certified since 2005 and he is currently working on his PhD thesis in Project Management.

| 3D-Forensics |
3D-Forensics is a project funded by the EU 7th framework programme (FP7-SECURITY)
with a 28 month duration from 1 May 2013 to 31 August 2015.
Its objectives are 1) Development of a mobile high-resolution 3D scanning system for forensic evidence recovery at crime scenes;
2) Development of 3D data analysis and processing software tools to provide results which may be used in the investigation and prosecution of crime;
3) Test and evaluation of the 3D scanning system with processing and analysis software by members of the forensic community;
4) To supplement the expertise of a SME based consortium with further end user and applied research knowledge for efficient and effective development of a new product.
