I^2 S^3 the Integrated Intelligent Secure Sensor Systems Project

Secure systems are of growing importance for protecting the assets and rights of business and individuals, who are increasingly reliant on surveillance equipment for deterrence of criminals and enforcement of justice. The Integrated Intelligent Secure Sensor Systems project (I²S³) integrates the novel technology necessary to extend the capabilities of surveillance equipment to provide preemptive warnings by detection of suspicious activity. Advanced reconfigurable hardware provides an ultra low power platform to underlie the image analysis and novel remote biometric identification algorithms. Each of the distributed sensor nodes is secured through a novel technique named ICmetrics which exploits synergies between biological and artificial systems.
