Machine Vision Technology and Motion Tracking.
Indigo Vision is a growing company that offers some serious competiton for VLab. Like wise Genetec of Quebec offers similar features as Indigo Vision. Both of these companies have implemented MPEG-4 and distributed systems. Though they may integrate floor plans with the location of cameras, they do not include automated tracking of objects in grid space, and across camera views.
Point Grey research is a camera manufacturer specializing in spatial imaging, they would have an interest in a tracking solution.
March Networks is a growing company and could well be a
party interested in VLab's development of tracking software.

Vlab advantage: cost/scalability Indigo advantage: mpeg 4 and analysis tools.IndigoVision has established itself as the leading manufacturer of complete IP-based system solutions for transmission, control and storage of live-networked video for the security surveillance market. IndigoVisionâs headquarters is based in Edinburgh, UK, and employs 60 people, two-thirds of whom are engineering based.
employees 120 overview
Our business strategy is to be a one-stop-shop for partners to buy
either off-the-shelf products for Live Networked Video applications, or
license the technology they need to get into the Live Networked Video
business. Partners include Baxall, Ultrak, Panasonic, Securicor and
StorageTek. IndigoVision uses industry standards wherever possible to maximize interoperability and minimise development. Where standards do not exist or lack required features, IndigoVision develops its own solutions. One example of this is the companyâs VideoBridge protocol for intercommunication between Live Networked Video devices that view, record, retrieve and analyze their video. This protocol sets up connections between devices, controls their operation and terminates connections. It has been designed to enable the creation of the next generation of video products with the smallest size, lowest cost and lowest power consumption.
The company also has 3 sales offices, in London,
Boston, and Tokyo and was listed on the London Stock Exchange (IND.L)
in August 2000. The company is headquartered in
Edinburgh, Scotland. Products
VideoBridge Control Center is a highly scalable
application that allows local or remote management of any CCTV system,

The software, which analyses CCTV footage, could help
spotÊsuicide attempts, overcrowding, suspect packages and
trespassers. Sergio Velastin at Kingston University, London, has spent a decade developing his algorithms (New Scientist print edition, 11 December 1999). The trick, he says, is to keep it simple. Face recognition software by its very nature involves complex image analysis and tries to do too much. As a result, operators are often disappointed It was the product of 10 years of research and collaboration between six European countries, in a European Union funded project. Now Velastin has set up a company, Intelligent Pedestrian Surveillance and Observation Technologies (IPSOTEK), to market the technology.
Already, he says, organisers of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela festival in
India have contacted him. They want to use CCTV with automatic
surveillance to help manage congestion and prevent people being crushed
or injured next spring when more than a million pilgrims are expected
to descend on the town of Ujjain in the state of Madhya Pradesh.
The total number of CCTV cameras in Underground stations across London is set to increase from 6000 to 9000 over the next few years, and they are also being installed on trains. That will make the need for a system like IPS all the more acute. This pattern is being repeated in cities around the world.
The Director of Ipsotekk, Sergio Velastin , has experience in
implementing distributed systems.
