Tue, 01 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Funding: EU FP7, SEC · Mar 2011 – Jun 2014

SAPIENT is a 40-month Collaborative Project which aims to specify how and when smart surveillance should be used (or not) and its characteristics to be effective and scalable to rapidly adapt to changing situations.

The project will provide the Commission, data protection authorities and other stakeholders with a set of criteria for data protection and integrity that could be used to verify that surveillance systems and the sharing of information respect the privacy of citizens.

Objectives

Establish guidelines for smart surveillance deployment
Create criteria for data protection and integrity verification in surveillance systems
Ensure privacy respect in information-sharing practices
