Submission + - Big Brother is Watching You in 360-degree HD (veracium.com)
Anonymous Coward writes: "DHS plans to discreetly deploy millions of basketball-sized 360 HD video surveillance systems in public venues and urban areas. They have installed a prototype Imaging System for Immersive Surveillance (ISIS) unit, which uses image stitching technology to provide perfect 360 degree edge-to-edge HD video, and enables forensic analysts to zoom and pan different areas without disrupting the ongoing coverage, at Boston Logan International Airport. The system automatically detects abnormal events and helps operators identify suspicious incidents in large, open areas with a resolution equivalent to dozens of HD television monitors.
“We've seen that terrorists are determined to do us harm, and ISIS is a great example of one way we can improve our security by leveraging our strengths," Dr. John Fortune, the main DHS man behind the project said."
