3. Beginnings of scientific researches
Aristoteles (384 – 322 B.C.)
I. M. Sechenov (1829 – 1905),
„Cerebral Reflexes“
Charles Darwin (1809 – 1889),
„The Expression of the Emotions
in Man and Animals“

4. Beginnings of scientific researches – cont.
Konrad Lorenz (1903 – 1989)
Nobel prize winner (physiology and medicine)
idea of measurement of the intensity and amplitude of reflection motion
such measurement will enable aggression intensity measurement

5. Behavioral detection of the 21. century
prof. Viktor Minkin, CEO Elsys Corp.,
chief of the Research and Development department of the
Russian National Research Institute Elektron

6. VibraImage - introduction
first version in 1995
principle: frequency (or amplitude) measurement using special camera
special attention to facial parts
head movements (incl. its muscles) the most frequent movements on human body in one´s life
continuous micromobility (VER)
head and facial muscles movements = vibrations
3 basic modes

7. VibraImage - Micro mode

8. VibraImage - Micro mode
observing, research and analysis of psychoemotional state of an individual
vibration parameters (microvibrations)
change in emotional balance = change of the internal energy
detectable emotions: aggression, stress, tension/anxiety, suspect/inhibition, neuroticism, self-regulation, balance…
detection speed cca 3s!!!

9. VibraImage - Micro mode, cont.
main output: external vibraimage („vibra-aura“), visualised emotions
every emotion has statistically stated limits (in relation to installation region and local ethnic groups)

10. VibraImage - Micro mode, cont.
how to read „vibra-aura“:
breaks in aura uniformity and mixed colours = currently unbalanced state of mind
asymmetry = deviation
colours – see previous slide
ideal „vibra-aura“ symmetric, uniform in colour and shape
potential dangerousness = summation of aggression, stress and tension degrees

11. VibraImage - Micro mode, cont.
example of aggression and strong tension, although trying to hide it and inhibit it

12. VibraImage - Micro mode, cont.
example of calm and balanced man and his „vibra-aura“

13. VibraImage - Micro mode, cont.
frequency histogram (green curve)
micromovements frequency distribution
abnormalities seen at first sight
secondary use

14. VibraImage - Micro mode, cont.
conditions for correct function:
person is sitting or standing without significant movements!!!
frontal position, at reasonable distance
glasses absence
not too much make-up
stable lighting intensity
if possible, unicoloured background without moving objects
(generally absence of external vibrations)
black-and-white image (for better resolution)

15. VibraImage - Micro mode, cont.
applications:
medicine and psychological researches
psychiatric clinics
oncological clinics
Germany – bus transportation company (drivers´ fatigue detection)
help in selection procedures
airport security

16. VibraImage - Macro mode

17. VibraImage - Macro mode
produced in 2005
observing, research and analysis of psychoemotional state of a group and its members (face detection available as well)
macrovibrations
no work with „vibra-aura“
colours cover the human body and head
spectrum beginning with no colour, then yellow (certain tension, nervousness) and orange one, ending with the red one
potential dangerousness = mathematical evaluation according to red colour area
satisfactory time again cca 3s!!!

18. VibraImage - Macro mode, cont.

19. VibraImage - Macro mode, cont.

20. VibraImage - Macro mode, cont.
statistics: Russian airports – daily approx. 20 suspects (other sources: 10% pax)
ATTENTION! DETECTED  TERRORIST!!!
necessary to ignore fast moving personnel
numerical parameters help with differentiation
no frequency histogram
any chance to cheat? No…
no need for frontal view, other conditions for correct function remain the same as in previous Micro mode

21. VibraImage - Macro mode, cont.
potential errors sources
multilayered dresses
glasses
changing lighting intensity (flashing bulbs)
according to SPb. Airport statistics only 5% erroneous detections
applications:
controlled entry to buildings
airport security

22. VibraImage - Mode Lie Detector

23. VibraImage - Lie Detector
produced in 2008/2009
individual application
revelation of non/verbal lies
first contactless lie detector ever!!!
microvibrations, more than 40 independent parameters (for lie detection 8 – 12 parameters satisfactory)
words unnecessary
significant parameters changes observed in case of fears, excitement and lying
CQ, RQ

24. VibraImage - Lie Detector, cont.
comparison of reactions to CQ and RQ
conditions for correct function remain the same as in the previous modes
examples of observed parameters:
F3 … general mental energy of examinee (high level = high level of excitement/aggression  lie)
S2 … indicates movements asymmetry, incl. brain hemispheres activity (significant changes in this activity  lie)
P2 … MSD of frequency histogram (large scale  lie)
P5 … defines the most suspicious moments in reactions

25. VibraImage - Lie Detector, cont.

26. VibraImage - Lie Detector, cont.

27. VibraImage - Lie Detector, cont.

28. VibraImage - Lie Detector, cont.
applications:
criminalistics (South Korea, police)
airport security (e.g. in suspicious rooms)

29. VibraImage - SUMMARISATION
advantages:
modern contactless detection
impossibility to influence results (unlike e.g. thermal cameras)
fascinating detection speed (3s)
low error rate (declared 5%)
user friendliness
continuous dynamic modernisation
mathematical and graphical confirmation
price acceptability (6000 $)

30. VibraImage - SUMMARISATION
disadvantages:
in case the strict instructions for installation and usage are not followed, danger of errors (lighting stability, external vibrations and movements, light reflections…)
need for calibration for given region
need for perfect, precise and sophisticated technical training
even unguilties detected in case they differ from others in any way
