Visual Analysis for Threat Detection in Photosensitive Epilepsy

The occurrence of epileptic photosensitivity (Seizures triggered by rapid visual stimuli) has been steadily increasing since the rise of various video platforms. While there are invasive surgical solutions, noninvasive technologies are generally cheaper and safer to use on average. Video-recording cameras are one such case, being able to directly analyze a 2D recording of an environment for various objects. Given the condition, this could also be used to find p hotosensitive threats within a given area for early warning systems. This could lead to an overall decrease in self-harm caused by seizures and improved quality of life for the affected patient.
