Terror tracker system: a web portal for terrorism research

Abstract Terrorism research has fast become one of the more important fields in research of late. Researchers need to be able to quickly make connections from vast storehouses of publicly available resources. The problem of information overload rapidly becomes one of the central challenges to existing information retrieval systems. Commercial search engines are far too generally scoped to be of much assistance to terrorism researchers. We believe that a narrowly focused vertical search engine coupled with several novel information-organization...

Abstract This paper introduces a report that carefully examines how much of a role advanced technology has in the fight against terrorism. The report suggests that while only a few terrorist scenarios have obvious technical countermeasures, developed societies can count on superior technology in their effort to track, spy and fight terrorists, insurgents and militiamen

Abstract The probabilistic multi-hypothesis tracker (PMHT) is an algorithm of considerable beauty. In practice, its performance turns out to be similar to that of the probabilistic data association filter (PDAF) in many cases; and since the implementation of the PDAF is less intense numerically the PMHT has been having a hard time finding acceptance. The task, therefore, is to "make the PMHT work". The PMHT's problems are expressed as "nonadaptivity", "narcissism", and "over-hospitality to clutter". In this paper we show (in section 3) modific...

We present a demonstrated and commercially viable self-tracker, using robust software that fuses data from inertial and vision sensors. Compared to infrastructurebased trackers, self-trackers have the advantage that objects can be tracked over an extremely wide area, without the prohibitive cost of an extensive network of sensors or emitters to track them. So far most AR research has focused on the long-term goal of a purely vision-based tracker that can operate in arbitrary unprepared environments, even outdoors. We instead chose to start with...

Abstract At first glance, at least, it seems the array of counter terrorism technologies under development in the United States and elsewhere would have been useless to prevent the 11 September attacks. Neither airport detectors that can sense plastic weapons and explosives nor state-of-the-art sensors that could ferret out the chemicals, biological agents, or nuclear materials of mass destruction would have revealed the presence of murderous fanatics armed with box-cutters. And if the deed was the work of terrorist networks that operated with...
