What is TRAPLE ?

The TRAPLE project proposes a novel approach for the tracking of people in large public environments using multiple sensing technologies (RFID, presence, video cameras).

The information aquired from these sensors is then processed using signal processing and/or intelligent systems' technologies in order to capture information about the individuals present at a specific location.

This information can be used in various systems for example triggering alarms and/or producing targeted announcements.

What are the technical areas relevant to TRAPLE ?

• Video Processing

• Inteligent Systems

How can I also be involved in TRAPLE ?

The first step to be involved in TRAPLE is to have an insterest in the technical/problem areas that are relevant to TRAPLE.

Currenlty, there are open positions for DCTI/ISCTE MSc students to develop their MSc thesis on the areas relevant to TRAPLE.
(Please state your interest before the 5th May 2008.)

In order to know more about TRAPLE, and for applying to the MSc thesis, you can/should contact any of the following DCTI members:

Luis M. Nunes (Inteligent Systems and Sensor Networks),
Rui J. Lopes (Sensor Networks and Video Indexing) and
Paulo J. Nunes (Video Processing).

TRAPLE public annoucement
