Multi-Modal Situation Assessment & Analytics Platform

The MOSAIC platform involves multi-modal data capture and analytics. The distributed intelligence within the platform enables decision support for automated detection, recognition, geo-location and mapping, including intelligent decision support at various levels to enhance situation awareness, surveillance targeting and camera handover. MOSAIC will develop and validate: I) a framework for capturing and interpreting the use-context requirements underpinned by a standard data ontology to facilitate the tagging, search and fusion of data from distributed multi-media sensors, sources and databases; II) a system architecture to support wide area surveillance; III) algorithms which enable disparate multi-media information correlation to form a common operating picture; IV) tools for the extraction of key information from video, un-controlled text and databases; V) algorithms to represent decisions and actions within a mathematical framework; VI) an integrated system solution which includes techniques for tagging different multi-media types with descriptive metadata to support multi-level fusion and correlation of surveillance and other data intelligence from distributed heterogeneous sources and networks.
