REACTION project: AI-based detection, recognition and classification of movements in Greece and Cyprus

Funded by the EU, the REACTION Project is a Greece-based project deployed at Evros (the border between Greece and Turkey). It builds on the results of previous EU research projects CERETAB, AIDERS and ROBORDER, to use "advances in artificial intelligence for detection, recognition and classification will enhance unmanned vehicle operations with a fully automated early detection system based on improved multimodal data fusion models." The project also aims to develop deep learning algorithms to analyse video streams from various sensors, and provide predictive analytics by adapting existing models to classify crises and illegal events, improving situational awareness through intelligent data enrichment and threat assessment. It's stated purpose is to : " facilitate the process of collecting information for hazardous events where migrants are involved." It is likely currently deployed at the Fylakio Reception and Identification Centre and in the Evros Region.
