CCTV cameras with an ear for trouble
"INTELLIGENT" CCTV cameras are being developed in the UK which will be able not only to see trouble but to hear it.
The technology allows the sounds of breaking glass, shouting, or the noise of a crowd gathering to be "learned" by software in the cameras.
The three-year project by the University of Portsmouth aims to adapt artificial-intelligence software already being developed to identify visual patterns.
