“Then software to detect suspected criminal activity, to alert a human operator.”
CDS = Criminal detection software?? OMG! How will it work, will there be a “furtiveness quotient” (FQ) I’m not going ACLU on you, I’m just wondering how such an initiative might work!
I’m not sure, I read something about the UK trying software that did that on their closed circuit cameras. They had speakers attached to some of them too, so the operator could talk into it.
I can see learning programs studying past criminal incidents and looking for mathematical patterns in the video. Except it takes a lot of processing power to do. I’d probably ask an experienced beat cop what he notices when he gets a feeling a crime is going to happen.
Of course the cameras now or in the future with more tech can filter for things like sex, age, ethnicity.. like 70% of crime in some euro nations is muslim immigrants.
