Persistics: Wide Area Surveillance & Analysis by Sheila Vaidya
May 2012 You will hear about a research program in persistent surveillance. To identify terrorist activity and behavior, Livermore researchers have developed a data-processing pipeline that combines graphics-based computer hardware and clever software to extract meaning from wide-area overhead surveillance video.
