CCTV to outwit Jason Bourne

A closed circuit television (CCTV) system to outwit even the most elusive secret agent or criminal has been devised by scientists.

The flaws in the present systems were revealed in the Hollywood blockbuster The Bourne Ultimatum.

In the film, Jason Bourne, a rogue CIA agent played by Matt Damon, tells another character, via a mobile phone, how to evade the searching eyes of CCTV cameras while charting his way across the concourse of Waterloo Station in London.

The new system plugs the surveillance gap by enabling an operator to choose a suspect and follow him through dense crowds, and any subsequent changes in appearance.
