Title: Complex Event Detection in Video and Communications

Agency / Branch: DOD / NAVY

Contract: N00014-10-M-0286

Award Amount: $69,953.00

Abstract:
We will demonstrate the feasibility of detecting tactically meaningful complex events in sensor input streams using an efficient pattern matching technology embodied in the Soar cognitive architecture. Our focus in Phase I will be on video streams, such as those that might be produced by unattended ground sensors or unmanned aerial systems. To reduce risk, we propose devoting a portion of our effort to the problem of reliably producing simple or atomic event markers from the video stream, so that our complex event detection capability has a solid foundation of input data.
