We are developing a full-fledged database mining system for police department's massive crime database for identifying crime patterns and criminal behavior. Currently, we are working on relational data mining in the APD database of crime reports. Since police departments in Texas have equipped their cars with video cameras for recording their proceedings, new video databases will soon start building up. Criminer is a scalable database mining system using a novel graph based techniques. The key research will develop new methods for collecting and understanding large amounts of video information. The research involves the search for interesting patterns in video, audio, image, text and other types of data. We are specifically interested in mining tasks such as pattern discovery, supervised pattern learning, clustering, and anomaly detection. The investigation of the use of graph-based relational data mining (RDM) for mining video data requires massive computational power such as the requested cluster. Criminer can extract high and low level features. The high level features include officer IDs, dates, types of violations, motorist information, speed radar readings, global positioning system data, vehicle telemetries, and light bar (pursuit light) activities. The low level features include audio and camera and object motions, colors as well as sizes, trajectories, shapes and speeds of objects.
