National Security using Computer Vision

As, we move towards a society where security of nation is of utmost importance and has to be addressed in a pro-active manner rather than waiting for an intelligence lapse causing losses to human lives and economy of the nation.

We have adequate and cheap processing power, open source tools for analysis and high power satellite images and real-time streams at our disposal (24 X 7 X 365) for allowing a machine to continuously churn and alert if it detects any anomaly. One aspect of the security we discussed about Facial Authentication allowing identification of citizens that are not registered in the security database. The other is identification of any anomaly or nefarious activity happening on unattended or highly sensitive areas using deep learning or machine learning models.

Take this below representational image where in a open field has been changed into a residential block. There can be a presence of Human in unknown area which have very few registered residents in the Image database to avoid decoy. There can be a truck or traffic movement, artillery movement or any other movement that can be detected using Object detection technique to ease the lives of those monitoring the process day and night.

The whole motive behind this approach is to at-least revisit the newer and better ways of analyzing the anomalies in remote areas using image synthesis, deep learning models, computer vision and high and cheap computational power.
