BriefCam Wins UK Defence and Security Accelerator Hackathon

BriefCam, the provider of Video Synopsis and Deep Learning solutions, won the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) Hackathon. The event, sponsored by the UK government, was designed to simulate real world incident response and was held on Nov. 26-27, 2018 in London.  

BriefCam earned the hackathon victory by using its next generation platform to successfully identify a real world subject of interest in a terror simulation. BriefCam searched hundreds of hours of video from dozens of cameras and files looking for a subject based on limited known details. BriefCam was able to leverage low resolution, low frame-rate video files as well as simulated, high resolution, live streams to verify several images of the suspect. The subject of interest was accurately identified in less than two hours. The breadth of multimedia formats that are represented in real world investigations, particularly proprietary CCTV, provided a significant learning curve for everyone involved around the need for near real time ingestion.
