Enhancing Disease Surveillance at The Site of Outbreak Using Mobile Phone Technology: The Case of Ngorongoro District Arusha, Tanzania
… performance of human and animal health disease surveillance systems in Tanzania using Ngorongoro district in Arusha region, Tanzania as a case example. The acceptability and reliability of the use of Android mobile phones in the “one health” community- based surveillance system was assessed. The …

An online system for bioterrorism surveillance
… increasing these days, research in bioterrorism surveillance has been conducted to detect the threats at the earliest time. Following this research, some bioterrorism surveillance systems have been developed. Some of these systems use humans as indicators and the others use animals. Both of these …

Application of deinterlacing for the enhancement of surveillance video
As the cost of video technology has fallen, surveillance cameras have become an integral part of a vast number of security systems. However, even with the introduction of progressive video displays, the majority of these systems still use interlaced scanning so that they may be connected to …
