With increasing security threats across the globe, Hebrew University of Jerusalem Professor Shmuel Peleg’s BriefCamⓇ is a groundbreaking private eye for public safety. BriefCamⓇ utilizes video synopsis technology, which allows for the simultaneous display of objects, events, and activities that occurred at different times in one location. The potentially lifesaving technology was acquired by Canon in May 2018 and has been used at major global events, including the Boston Marathon, Times Square New Year’s Eve Celebrations, and the 2016 Rio De Janeiro Olympics.
