The CLICK (CSIRO Laboratory for Imaging by Content and Knowledge) Security Demonstrator

Abstract

CSIRO Telecommunications and Industrial Physics is developing digital image processing tools using object oriented technology on a PC platform, with an emphasis on the study of image content and the application of domain knowledge. This paper summarises progress made in the following areas: (a) image database browsing, (b) real-time face recognition and verification, and (c) still image and video compression. The focus of the paper is on security applications of these technologies which have been integrated into the CLICK (CSIRO Laboratory for Imaging by Content and Knowledge) Security Demonstrator.
