The Imagery Library for Intelligent Detection Systems (i-LIDS) is the UK government's new standard for Video Based
Detection Systems (VBDS). The standard was launched in November 2006 and evaluations against it began in July
2007.
With the first four i-LIDS scenarios completed, the Home Office Scientific development Branch (HOSDB) are looking
toward the future of intelligent vision in the security surveillance market by adding a fifth scenario to the standard. The
fifth i-LIDS scenario will concentrate on the development, testing and evaluation of systems for the tracking of people
across multiple cameras.
HOSDB and the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) identified a requirement to track targets
across a network of CCTV cameras using both live and post event imagery. The Detection and Vision Systems group at
HOSDB were asked to determine the current state of the market and develop an in-depth Operational Requirement (OR)
based on government end user requirements. Using this OR the i-LIDS team will develop a full i-LIDS scenario to aid
the machine vision community in its development of multi-camera tracking systems.
By defining a requirement for multi-camera tracking and building this into the i-LIDS standard the UK government will
provide a widely available tool that developers can use to help them turn theory and conceptual demonstrators into front
line application.
This paper will briefly describe the i-LIDS project and then detail the work conducted in building the new tracking
aspect of the standard.
