The visual intelligence system will automatically analyse areas of interest to interpret behaviour and identify potential threats from video data while safeguarding the armed forces.

The system will require minimal human supervision and will be integrated with other components of the Mind’s Eye programme that are being developed by other research teams.

The SRI team includes the University of Leeds, UK, and the University of Maryland, US, which are currently working on overcoming the challenges associated with the deployment of the system.
