Beginnings of scientific researches
Aristoteles (384 – 322 B.C.) I. M. Sechenov (1829 – 1905),
„Cerebral Reflexes“
Charles Darwin (1809 – 1889),
„The Expression of the Emotions
in Man and Animals“
Beginnings of scientific researches – cont.
Konrad Lorenz (1903 – 1989)
• Nobel prize winner (physiology and medicine)
• idea of measurement of the intensity and
amplitude of reflection motion
• such measurement will enable aggression
intensity measurement
Behavioral detection of the 21. century

chief of the Research and Development department of the
Russian National Research Institute Elektron
VibraImage - introduction
• first version in 1995
• principle: frequency (or amplitude) measurement using special camera
• special attention to facial parts
• head movements (incl. its muscles) the most frequent movements on human body in one´s life
• continuous micromobility (VER)
• head and facial muscles movements = vibrations
• 3 basic modes
VibraImage - Micro mode
VibraImage - Micro mode
• observing, research and analysis of psychoemotional state of an individual
• vibration parameters (microvibrations)
• change in emotional balance = change of the internal energy
• detectable emotions: aggression, stress, tension/anxiety, suspect/inhibition, neuroticism, self-regulation, balance…
• detection speed cca 3s!!!
VibraImage - Micro mode, cont.
• main output: external vibraimage („vibra-aura“), visualised emotions
• every emotion has statistically stated limits (in relation to installation region and local ethnic groups)
VibraImage - Micro mode, cont.
• how to read „vibra-aura“:
– breaks in aura uniformity and mixed colours = currently unbalanced state of mind
– asymmetry = deviation
– colours – see previous slide
– ideal „vibra-aura“ symmetric, uniform in colour and shape
– potential dangerousness = summation of aggression, stress and tension degrees
VibraImage - Micro mode, cont.
– example of aggression and strong tension, although trying to hide it and inhibit it
VibraImage - Micro mode, cont.
• example of calm and balanced man and his „vibra-aura“
VibraImage - Micro mode, cont.
• frequency histogram (green curve)
– micromovements frequency distribution
– abnormalities seen at first sight
– secondary use
VibraImage - Micro mode, cont.
• conditions for correct function: – person is sitting or standing without significant
movements!!! – frontal position, at reasonable distance – glasses absence – not too much make-up – stable lighting intensity – if possible, unicoloured background without moving
objects (generally absence of external vibrations) – black-and-white image (for better resolution)
VibraImage - Micro mode, cont.
• applications:
– medicine and psychological researches
• psychiatric clinics
• oncological clinics
– Germany – bus transportation company (drivers´ fatigue detection)
– help in selection procedures
– airport security
VibraImage - Macro mode
VibraImage - Macro mode
• produced in 2005
• observing, research and analysis of psychoemotional state of a group and its members (face detection available as well)
• macrovibrations
• no work with „vibra-aura“
• colours cover the human body and head – spectrum beginning with no colour, then yellow (certain tension,
nervousness) and orange one, ending with the red one
• potential dangerousness = mathematical evaluation according to red colour area
• satisfactory time again cca 3s!!!
VibraImage - Macro mode, cont.
VibraImage - Macro mode, cont.
VibraImage - Macro mode, cont.
• statistics: Russian airports – daily approx. 20 suspects (other sources: 10% pax)
• ATTENTION! DETECTED TERRORIST!!!
• necessary to ignore fast moving personnel
• numerical parameters help with differentiation
• no frequency histogram
• any chance to cheat? No…
• no need for frontal view, other conditions for correct function remain the same as in previous Micro mode
VibraImage - Macro mode, cont.
• potential errors sources
– multilayered dresses
– glasses
– changing lighting intensity (flashing bulbs)
• according to SPb. Airport statistics only 5% erroneous detections
• applications:
– controlled entry to buildings
– airport security
VibraImage - Mode Lie Detector
VibraImage - Lie Detector
• produced in 2008/2009
• individual application
• revelation of non/verbal lies
• first contactless lie detector ever!!!
• microvibrations, more than 40 independent parameters (for lie detection 8 – 12 parameters satisfactory)
• words unnecessary
• significant parameters changes observed in case of fears, excitement and lying
• CQ, RQ
VibraImage - Lie Detector, cont.
• comparison of reactions to CQ and RQ
• conditions for correct function remain the same as in the previous modes
• examples of observed parameters:
– F3 … general mental energy of examinee (high level = high level of excitement/aggression lie)
– S2 … indicates movements asymmetry, incl. brain hemispheres activity (significant changes in this activity lie)

VibraImage - Lie Detector, cont.
• applications:
– criminalistics (South Korea, police)
– airport security (e.g. in suspicious rooms)
VibraImage - SUMMARISATION
• advantages:
– modern contactless detection
– impossibility to influence results (unlike e.g. thermal cameras)
– fascinating detection speed (3s)
– low error rate (declared 5%)
– user friendliness
– continuous dynamic modernisation
– mathematical and graphical confirmation
VibraImage - SUMMARISATION
• disadvantages:
– in case the strict instructions for installation and usage are not followed, danger of errors (lighting stability, external vibrations and movements, light reflections…)
– need for calibration for given region
– need for perfect, precise and sophisticated technical training

VibraImage© system!!!
