Proposal idea/content The extremely large volumes of real-time and offline data streams available on the smallest of crafts or individual surveillance officers is proving overwhelming. The data comes from multiple sources of varying quality, provenance, and from differing jurisdictions. We propose Project CUMASC (Irish word for fusion): To develop and live-test a system to automatically interpret imagery and sensor data in a noisy environment; To aggregate surveillance pictures incorporating inputs from different analysts; To detect sentiment from sound, text and imagery data; To ensure data provenance and ethical guidelines under civil and military law.
