Eagle Pass, TX Police And UCSD Engineers Deploy Video Surveillance System On Camino Real Bridge Along U.S.-Mexico Border
University of California, San Diego (UCSD) engineers
will unveil a novel wide-area, multi camera, computer-vision
system for monitoring a key U.S.-Mexico border crossing between
Eagle Pass, TX and Piedras Negras, Mexico. The prototype system

November 21, 2005 – In Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi, "they paved paradise
and put up a parking lot." In San Diego last week, the big yellow taxi was in
the parking lot -- until emergency officials detonated a car bomb that destroyed
the taxi and sent plumes of charcoal-grey smoke billowing into the clear-blue sky
over the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
Computer scientists at the University of California, San Diego
and the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI), affiliated with
UC Berkeley, have joined forces to launch a full-scale assault on viruses,
worms and other plagues afflicting the Internet. With $6.2 million in funding
over five years from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its new
Cyber Trust program, the scientists will develop technologies to detect,
analyze and defend against large-scale Internet attacks.
