New software can detect IS executioners from video – WaarMaarRaar.nl

Spanish researchers have developed a system that can be tracked wherever a video is recorded. The program can be important in the fight against IS. In this way, the executioners of the terrorist movement can be detected.

The program that researchers Ramón Llull University in Barcelona have built uses a localization technique that recognizes audiovisual data from a global database of image and sound.

,, Audio is just as useful as visual information, sometimes even more valuable. Next, we use mathematical methods to determine a location. This has already succeeded several times “, Xavier Sevillano tells the Daily Mail.

Many of the videos that are on the Internet have an accompanying text about the location, time and other details. But that does not apply to any movie. When that is the case, all the data are joined together, after which they are released upon an algorithm. In this way, the data can be compared to a world-wide collection of videos that is already localized.

Although the system is innovative and can be useful in the fight against IS should not be too soon there. Only three percent of the videos can be traced to a location three kilometers deviates from the actual location. One percent of the videos can be determined precisely by the kilometer.

To make the system more effective, the database needs to be bigger. Provided that succeeds, it may in the future be very useful for business loss, disappearance or other calamities. The condition is that there must be recent video on the Internet. This can also be a film that is shared on social media.
