Scientists have developed a software that could help identify ISIS Executioners

Spanish researchers have unveiled software that can scan a video and pinpoint exactly where it was shot. They say the system could help locate execution sites.

 

Researchers from the Ramón Llull University (Spain) created the system capable of geolocating videos by comparing their audiovisual content with a worldwide multimedia database. 

 

In the future this could help to find people who have gone missing after posting images on social networks, or even to recognise locations of terrorist execution, they claim.

The method is based on the recognition of their images or frames and all of the audio.  'The acoustic information can be as valid as the visual and, on occasions, even more so when it comes to geolocating a video,' said Xavier Sevillano, one of the authors.
