localizes the anomalous and normal events separately. Key word— Anomalous Event,Gradient, HOS, HOG, 1. Introduction The use of surveillance systems in roads, stations, malls, traffic or airports has led to a huge amount of data that needs to be analyzed for safety, retrieval or even commercial reasons. The task of automatically detecting frames with anomalous events from long duration video sequences has concerned

For instance, according to the article “The Rise of the Killer Drones”, drones have provided aerial surveillance over Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan (Hastings). This shows that drones are more a beneficial factor than a threat to the military. UAVs has provided a way for the military to collect information without placing a single boot on the ground. Military drone surveillance has improved the amount of information received, as the military adjusts its capabilities or unit. Yet

providing them with an up-to-date, easy-to-use information resource on the subject. The plan: 26 centers across Europe gathered and analyzed information on an ongoing basis, and communicated it to key audiences Apheis developed a public health surveillance system (Teutsch and Churchill 1994) to provide information at regular intervals on the effects of air pollution on health tailored to the needs of its

This can be done through the internet or through what most usually think of when thinking of surveillance, cameras. Surveillance can be done by anyone who truly wants to do it. It is usually done by big internet corporations like Google, for example, who collects the data of their users all the time and by governments. In this essay, I’ll be focusing on the United States government’s use of surveillance through cameras, their collection of data of the very people they are meant to serve and how that

At approximately 8:46 a.m. on September 11, 2001, an American Airlines jet slammed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, initializing a day of tragedy, sorrow, and despair.

The vast use of surveillance techniques and the invasion of the privacy of Oceania’s citizens is rampant, where one can find telescreens in every home, “[t]he telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously.

Electronic monitoring makes it possible for employers to monitor the activities of their employees continuously and secretly. Although electronic monitoring includes a wide range of practices, three general categories dominate computer-based monitoring, telephone call, accounting and service observation; and video surveillance. a) Computer-based monitoring: This allows an employer to review specific activities of employees who work on computers.

allows law enforcement to use surveillance against more crimes of terror. Before the Patriot Act, courts could permit law enforcement to conduct electronic surveillance to investigate many ordinary, non-terrorism crimes, such as drug crimes, mail fraud, and passport fraud. Agents also could obtain wiretaps to investigate some, but not all, of the crimes that terrorists often commit. The Act enabled investigators to gather information when looking into the full range of terrorism-related crimes, including:
