Video based detection systems
Video based detection systems (VBDS), are intelligent detection systems which provide automated surveillance through real-time video analysis and event detection.
Video-based detection systems are required to detect defined alarm events in each scenario with minimal false alarms. An alarm event may be, for example, the presence of a parked vehicle in a certain zone, or a bag abandoned by its owner.
VBDS tend to struggle with changing environmental conditions, particularly when used for outdoor applications.These variations often cause systems to generate a high number of false alarms, reducing their effectiveness.
Imagery library for intelligent detection systems (i-LIDS)
To help develop and evaluate VBDS to meet government requirements we have developed an imagery library to help academics and system manufacturers test the performance.
About i-LIDS
VBDS provide automated video analysis and event detection. i-LIDS is the government's benchmark for video-based detection systems (VBDS). The government is committed to promoting the development of VBDS to help in policing and counter-terrorist operations.
More about i-LIDS and datasets, availability and pricing, and system evaluation.
