The Boston Marathon Bombing left a scar in the hearts and minds of the people and reminded us that we live in a world where death might be just around the corner.
As already mentioned in the earlier posts, Video analaytics is a tool that is widely used for security purposes. In the case of the recent bombings, Video analytics was used in the investigation process to identify the suspects and locate the origin of the blasts.
The main point of this post is not to praise video analytics that helped capture the suspects in a manner of days.
With the use of video analytics we have a chance at preventing such event from happening.
Experts suggests that VA can be used to identify unattended belonging as was the case in Boston.
Let’s hope that the speed of VA development is faster than the speed of potential terrorists using new technology to unleash a reign of terror again.
