Automated excerpt
In this paper, we present ESauron — the first proof-of-concept system that can detect diverse forms of spy cameras (i. e. , wireless, wired and offline devices) and quickly pinpoint their locations. Whenever the visual scene changes, bursts of video data processing (e. g. , video encoding) suddenly aggravate the memory workload, bringing responsive EMR patterns. ESauron can detect spy cameras by intentionally stimulating scene changes and then sensing the surge of EMRs even from a considerable distance.
