Research on what?

One of the issues we are dealing with is the detection and annotation of behaviors that are normally very rare, usually referred to as anomalous events. The application is to monitor the activity within relatively confined spaces. Another issue is monitoring the entry and exit from these defined spaces based on face recognition and other human features. A third emphasis is on affective recognition, in which we are concerned with measuring a person’s mood based on the facial expression exhibited while passing in and out of the confined space. These objectives present a considerable challenge to researchers and involve issues of object pose, illumination, occlusion, data attrition and real-time functioning.
