Description

68 cameras were installed on central squares and places in the German city Mannheim to record the moving patterns of people. In this project, which started in 2018, the software is used to detect conspicuous behaviour. The police are alerted and investigate the situation further (Reuter 2018). The cameras were placed in areas with increased incidences of criminal activities. Only two minutes lie between the alert of the system and the intervention by the police on average. As the software is learning, it is increasingly able to detect criminal or violent activity. However, sometimes the alerts are not correct, for instance, the system cannot recognize a hug as not dangerous (heise online 2020). The software is developed by the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies, and Image Exploitation Karlsruhe and is continuously tested and adapted to be suitable for public spaces. Twenty cameras are used to test the software (Ministerium für Inneres 2020).
