SAFEGUARD SAFEguardinG pUblic spAces through intelligent thReat Detection tools SAFEGUARD aims at developing a next-generation holistic suite of tools that significantly improve LEA capabilities to protect public spaces against terrorist attacks through the entire lifecycle of their operations. To this end, SAFEGUARD leverages the successful outcomes of EU-funded projects (S4AllCities, CONNEXIONs, CREST, PREVISION, PRAETORIAN), providing a complete and powerful framework for intelligent threat detection relevant to the context of safety of public spaces. The outcomes of the project will result in the improvement of public spaces, such as malls, open crowded areas and events by deploying tools and technologies for acquiring intelligence regarding terrorist attacks and supporting LEA operations in an efficient and effective manner. Moreover, SAFEGUARD aspires to develop knowledge on the potential use of AI techniques and algorithms…

CHROMATA

CHROMATA

CHROMATA Dances, Songs, Myths and Customs for the Development of Technologies for Intangible Cultural Heritage The preservation of the intangible cultural heritage (e.g., traditional dances, songs, stories, techniques etc.) is a challenging task, since it is more difficult than maintaining tangible objects. The main purpose of the national project CHROMATA is to design and implement an interactive virtual reality platform that will gather elements of the intangible cultural heritage from available sources in areas of cultural interest and will constitute the starting point for the creation of indoor and outdoor environments of virtual and augmented reality that can (a) revive and represent the elements (e.g., traditional dances, stories, etc.) of the intangible heritage and b) create new spatial and virtual transcripts, thus promoting new uses for it. For the implementation…

REA

REA

REA According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are currently more than 1 billion people worldwide (about one in seven) who have some form of disability. It is estimated that over 150 million adults worldwide face serious movement issues and are not functionally independent. Care and rehabilitation are important factors in maintaining and improving the quality of life of people with physical or mental injuries. At the same time, they have important short-term and long-term economic implications for both individuals and their families, as well as for the health system and society. With the aim of upgrading the monitoring and support technologies currently used in clinical and non-clinical rehabilitation and patient care environments, the goal of the project is to develop an innovative interconnected virtual agent with enhanced interactive…

e-ΧΝΗΛΑΤΗΣ Intelligent spatio-temporal integration of environmental, cultural and touristic routes One of the most powerful advantages that Greece has as a travel destination is the unique way in which it combines its natural environment and cultural heritage. On one hand, lakes, rivers, caves, gorges, mountains, forests, national parks and parks, ecosystems, beaches, archaeological sites, monuments, historical sites, museums, synthesize a rich and diverse network of sites and points of interest. Many cultural events (e.g. festivals, exhibitions, concerts, performances and other artistic events, sport events, etc.) should be added to these attractions, which, on a consistent basis and throughout the year take place almost in every corner of the country. This impressive ensemble can fuel and enrich the content of large or small tourist routes and tours throughout the Greek territory…

DESMOS

DESMOS

DESMOS Smart Interconnected Infrastructures for Security and Protection The goal of DESMOS project is to combine technology and human resources to provide a protection and security environment for citizens, emphasizing on tourists, by creating the appropriate infrastructure to address a set of ‘urgent’ situations. Given that the use of mobile and portable devices is now widespread, the project intends to use existing technology and customization for the benefit of citizens. Emergencies that may arise may be of a medical nature (allergies, medical conditions), dangerous incidents (e.g. thefts, vandalism) or situations encountered in crowded places (e.g. child disappearance). Within the framework of the project, a platform for participatory cooperation between people and infrastructures will be created and through the reporting of incidents and emergencies using ICT, assistance will be provided by…

CoFly

CoFly

CoFly The main aim of CoFly project is to develop an operational framework for micro air vehicles (MAVs) that would be affordable and widely distributed in the marketplace. In addition, the main objective is to provide the entrepreneurs the ability to complete high precision manual labour operations with lesser cost and time-consuming way, meaning without the need of a MAV operator expert. Although a large variety of affordable MAV platforms is available, their majority offer limited control functionalities. Moreover, a wide spectrum of navigational sensors and computing systems, capable to be attached on a MAV, is also available. Thus, a MAV platform with advanced functionalities comprises the ultimate objective of the project, including an interactive navigation system as well as conceptual and autonomous decision-making abilities. The final product will increase…
