Extracting Intelligence from Sensor Data
Whether the issue is global security or campus safety, our responsibility is to correlate the available information, identify the risks, and respond accordingly. We have the data. We have the sensors. Data are being captured, whether through simple devices (such as RFID tags, GPS devices, or door sensors) or devices capturing raw data that is then parsed by an intelligence engine (such as recognizing a face, or a torpedo, or certain words in a conversation). continued
