Research problems linked to this topic
- Which technologies are most likely to disrupt the pattern of global trade and investment in the coming decades and what impact will they have on productivity growth?
- What risks to personal privacy are emerging from the increasing ability to identify data characteristics unique to a person?
- How can candidate technologies for lawful knife detection and vehicle interdiction achieve usable size, weight, and power configurations?
- What technologies can assist police officers in stand-off knife detection?
- Technology or techniques to identify prohibited and restricted articles (for example, people, money, drugs, tobacco, counterfeit goods and species that require a permit under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora [CITES]).
- What technologies can mitigate work-related trauma experienced by police staff? For example, using computer vision technologies to reduce manual assessments of child exploitation images.
- What methods for data fusion and linkage across datasets best retain the anonymity of identifiers?
- How can policing maintain the integrity of the evidential chain when processing and analysing audio-visual data?
- What emerging biological or behavioural measurements and calculations can be used to ascertain or impersonate a person’s identity?
- What are the potential investigative opportunities for policing through the use of emerging biometrics, including the current limits of biometrics to identify and trace individuals?
- How can policing overcome challenges around the collection, processing and storage of (usually large) files from audio-visual materials, including when working with still compared to moving images?
- How can policing improve the process and workflow surrounding digital forensics, including democratising the ability to run safe, rapid and effective forensics at a crime scene?
- Using biometrics, digital and behavioural aspects to assure identity and to understand and mitigate the possible deception of systems.
- What counter technologies may be used to trick large scale audio-visual data processing and analysis systems used by the police and how can they be mitigated?
- What ‘lab in a box’ or other similar technologies are available to the police for forensic crime scene investigations?
- What advances in analysing microbiomes and genetics can be utilised to identify or track criminals from traces found at crime scenes?
- Can Germanium on Silicon SPADS be introduced to LIDA systems for CAVs, providing greater accuracy when identifying surrounding attributes and over greater distances (using QKD to ensure a secure system)?
- How can sensors be embedded in police uniforms and what functionality might they be able to provide? For example, greater environmental and situational awareness, such as through identifying the presence of narcotics, pollutants or CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) contamination.
- How should government make best use of biometrics and other technologies for government service users to prove their identities? What are the most useful applications of homomorphic encryption for digital government?
- What methods and policies could policing use to identify deepfakes rapidly and automatically, while retaining victim privacy?
- What computational and analytical techniques can deliver accurate, large scale, automated image capture, processing, and amalgamation, while maintaining privacy and proportionality?
- What is the best-in-class digital tooling available for the forensic analysis of text, media and metadata?
