center to analyze surveillance videos from crimes, disasters

The world's first center for analyzing surveillance camera footage collected during disasters or crimes has opened at the University of Indianapolis . The Indy Star reports.

"Administrators at the Digital Multimedia Evidence Processing Lab demonstrated Monday how state-of-the-art software can help solve crimes by making otherwise unusable images valuable.

The lab also will serve as a unique command center during terrorist attacks or national emergencies, allowing officials to analyze images from sources such as surveillance cameras and cell phones. With the proliferation of technology, demand is rising for a central location to analyze and interpret digital image".
