Abstract: PANORAMA aims to research, develop and demonstrate generic breakthrough technologies and hardware architectures for a broad range of imaging applications. For example, object segmentation is a basic building block of many intermediate and low level image analysis methods. In broadcast applications, segmentation can find people's faces and optimize exposure, noise reduction and color processing for those faces; even more importantly, in a multi-camera set-up these imaging parameters can then be optimized to provide a consistent display of faces (e.g., matching colors) or other regions of interest. PANORAMA will deliver solutions for applications in medical imaging, broadcasting systems and security & surveillance, all of which face similar challenging issues in the real time handling and processing of large volumes of image data. These solutions require the development of imaging sensors with higher resolutions and new pixel architectures. Furthermore, integrated high performance computing hardware will be needed to allow for the real time image processing and system control. The related ENIAC work program domains and Grand Challenges are Health and Ageing Society - Hospital Healthcare, Communication & Digital Lifestyles - Evolution to a digital lifestyle and Safety & Security - GC Consumers and Citizens security.
VANAHEIM

Abstract: The aim of this project is to study innovative surveillance components for the autonomous monitoring of multi-Sensory and networked Infrastructure such as underground transportation environment.
SUPPORT
Other partners: Inria Sophia-Antipolis (FR); Swedish Defence Research Agency (SE); Securitas (SE); Technical Research Centre of Finland (FI); MARLO (NO); INLECOM Systems (UK).
Abstract: SUPPORT is addressing potential threats on passenger life and the potential for crippling economic damage arising from intentional unlawful attacks on port facilities, by engaging representative stakeholders to guide the development of next generation solutions for upgraded preventive and remedial security capabilities in European ports. The overall benefit will be the secure and efficient operation of European ports enabling uninterrupted flows of cargos and passengers while suppressing attacks on high value port facilities, illegal immigration and trafficking of drugs, weapons and illicit substances all in line with the efforts of FRONTEX and EU member states.
Dem@Care
Title: Dementia Ambient Care: Multi-Sensing Monitoring for Intelligent Remote Management and Decision Support
Other partners: Inria Sophia-Antipolis (FR); University of Bordeaux 1(FR); Cassidian (FR), Nice Hospital (FR), LinkCareServices (FR), Lulea Tekniska Universitet (SE); Dublin City University (IE); IBM Israel (IL); Philips (NL); Vistek ISRA Vision (TR).
Abstract: The objective of Dem@Care is the development of a complete system providing personal health services to persons with dementia, as well as medical professionals, by using a multitude of sensors, for context-aware, multiparametric monitoring of lifestyle, ambient environment, and health parameters. Multisensor data analysis, combined with intelligent decision making mechanisms, will allow an accurate representation of the person's current status and will provide the appropriate feedback, both to the person and the associated medical professionals. Multi-parametric monitoring of daily activities, lifestyle, behaviour, in combination with medical data, can provide clinicians with a comprehensive image of the person's condition and its progression, without their being physically present, allowing remote care of their condition.
Collaborations in European Programs, except FP7
ViCoMo
Coordinator: International Consortium (Philips, Acciona, Thales, CycloMedia, VDG Security)
Other partners: TU Eindhoven; University of Catalonia; Free University of Brussels; Inria; CEA List;
Abstract: The ViCoMo project is focusing on the construction of realistic context models to improve the decision making of complex vision systems and to produce a faithful and meaningful behavior. ViCoMo goal is to find the context of events that are captured by the cameras or image sensors, and to model this context such that reliable reasoning about an event can be performed.
