So, the EU just started this project, check out the link: Welcome to INDECT homepage — indect-home

The main objectives of the INDECT project are:
  • to develop a platform for: the registration and exchange of operational data, acquisition of multimedia content, intelligent processing of all information and automatic detection of threats and recognition of abnormal behaviour or violence,
  • to develop the prototype of an integrated, network-centric system supporting the operational activities of police officers, providing techniques and tools for observation of various mobile objects,
  • to develop a new type of search engine combining direct search of images and video based on watermarked contents, and the storage of metadata in the form of digital watermarks,

Basically, a controlled society. For christ sakes, they're talking about watermarking contents!!

Don't know about you but this freeks me out.



Peace.
