Interdisciplinary Research
00 Despite the different areas of application the vast majority of systems bear similar core characteristics
• Reliability, accuracy, timeliness, robustness etc
01 Research areas are called to find applicability and make impact in ONE complex and multidimensional community
10 Areas are not independent/standalone • Our aspiration is therefore to assist the community by
combining research conclusions acquired through EU projects we are involved in.

Product outcomes from EU ongoing research programs:
Intelligent Audio Analytics
Audio covers a 360-degree area and adds as much to our understanding of events as the captured images
Implemented Solution:
• Based on well-established methods from the fields of audio coding, machine learning and speech recognition
• Allows efficient operation on low cost power limited devices (or embedded systems)
• Manages the detection abnormal events
• Implements speaker independent speech recognition module • For the detection of pre-specified key words through the decomposition of the audio scene;
• Critical for the seamless triggering of a surveillance system
UAVs & more...
• ADITESS is also specialized in the designation of unmanned vehicles ( both aerial and ground)
• Over the years we have designed a variety of UAV systems (Mini-UAV ) • The systems are designed with high efficiency and minimized development and operational cost
• Without compromising the general aviation standards
• The Mini-UAV systems can be utilized for: • Navigation in controlled civilian airspace
• Compliance to certification requirements that will become applicable to all UAS addressing homeland security operations
Remote Sensing
• Implementation of security systems for sea and landmark surveillance with the use of satellite images
• Through our research we have developed an automated motion detection algorithm
• allows the combination of pictorial information and geo-information
• The algorithm seamlessly deals with: • the identification of patterns
