Today, surveillance, be it in a military or civilian context, is one of the essential elements guaranteeing the security and safety of individual property, equipment, and people. In the interest of improving surveillance capacity, the IRIS (Intelligent Recognition Information System) project brings together the scientific and technological expertise of CMI Defence, ACIC, the Multitel research center, Liège University, and Belgium’s Royal Military Academy to develop intelligent modules to help detect, recognize, and analyze behaviors and threats.
The innovative concept of decision-making assistance that IRIS proposes will enable surveillance operators to take up the right information at the right time to take the best decision in dealing with a given situation. Soldiers’ and civilian lives, the security of sensitive sites (nuclear power plants, Seveso sites, etc.), and the safety of equipment and facilities depend on such decisions. That is why IRIS will be grounded in the latest innovations, especially in artificial intelligence (computer vision, machine learning, game theory, and so on) to provide the best responses for such current issues.
