WHAT I WANT: LIST OF COMPANIES and TECHNIQUES IN VIDEO SECURITY I want to assemble a list of companies and secondly research groups and thirdly papers working in the general area of video security. The industry is currently dominated either by ?Digital Video Recording? (DVR), typically 8 to 16 channels, or by ?CCTV? (Closed Circuit TV). Companies that make only these products are not my current interest. I?m specifically interested in companies using computer vision techniques as, or in, their products. Computer vision techniques may include tracking people, identifying whether they left bags or suitcases in public areas, tracking cars, ships, monitoring traffic, setting alarm conditions if intruders enter excluded areas, tracking between multiple cameras, identifying the movement patterns of people (whether they dwelled near an advertisement or not, determining whether lines are moving too slowly or whether there are ?too many? people in line etc), identifying faces, identifying where faces are looking and so on. NOTES: * Lots of camera companies will come up, but I?m interested in companies that are employing computer vision techniques in software and/or embedded in hardware. * Lots of University research groups and technical papers will come up, keep the URL stated in report format below. * Not interested in patents -- that's a subject of a different question. WHERE TO START THE SEARCH: ICS West is the biggest security tradeshow but it runs the gamut from deadbolts, smoke guns, pressure sensitive optical fiber to deep IR thermal cameras. The vendor list is below, you could filter it looking for some of my suggested keywords below. Vendors at ICS: http://www.iscwest.com/app/homepage.cfm?appname=180&moduleID=324&LinkID=9174&Date=4/01/2003&campaignid=84&iUserCampaignID=17741393 The home page of ICS West is at: http://www.iscwest.com/App/homepage.cfm?moduleid=42&appname=180 Personal lists might help, such as: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/spider/lowe/vision.html Then it?s back to Google or Clusty or your bag of tricks (any way to search on companies specifically, sort of a meta-Froogle?) to ferret out these mostly small/new companies that are employing computer vision in video security. Make sure to look at Google?s sponsored links. Obviously, some of these companies will be located in Israel. Sometimes you can go to venture capital company websites and look for likely companies in their portfolio of companies. SOME SUGGESTED SEARCH WORDS: Security system, Surveillance system, remote surveillance, security forensics, computer vision surveillance, machine vision surveillance Wide-area surveillance Video security, video surveillance, remote video surveillance, video intrusion, Automatic video surveillance, video tracking, video analysis, automatic video analysis, video behavior analysis, video object detection, video theft detection, video monitoring, automatic video monitoring, video alarms, video steering, pan tilt zoom steering, video perception, video forensics, computer vision surveillance, machine vision surveillance. Camera steering, camera tracking, camera monitoring, automatic camera monitoring Automatic perception Image analysis, automatic image analysis, Image recognition, image forensics Scene analysis, scene detection, automatic scene analysis Stereo vision, stereo monitoring, stereo security, stereo people tracking Analysis of depth image, analysis of disparity images Face detection, face recognition, face tracking. Object detection, object recognition, object tracking, People tracking, people finding Person tracking, person finding Intruder system, intruder detection, video intrusion, Left object detection, removed object detection. Behavior detection, behavior analysis Access control, access monitoring Multi-camera, camera grid, tracking in a camera grid Computer vision, computer vision security, computer vision monitoring Machine vision, machine vision security, machine vision monitoring Pool Surveillance Real-time appended to any of the above REPORT FORMAT: Your search should be primarily focused on companies producing software and/or hardware for video surveillance that makes use of computer vision/machine vision techniques. Along the way, if links you investigate end up being papers or university groups ? don?t waste them, just append as described below Example search: google: security system video surveillance Brings up lots of stuff: ? stuff ? GeoVision Digital CCTV link is really: ?Henry?s CCTV Center? NOT of interest ? just sells cameras, recording and display. ?Lots of stuff? page 2 of google returns ?VistaScape? at http://www.vistascape.com/home.htm is of interest. Computer vision outdoor tracking. ?somewhere down the list: Cooperative Research Centre http://www.cssip.edu.au/research/VSAProject.html shows up. Oops, not a company, a research group but interesting ? copy into the research group list. Report should then be (in order of my priority interests): COMPANIES ******************* Name, URL, [notes if any (such as ?looks stale?)] Name, URL, notes ? RESEARCH GROUPS ******************* URL 1 URL 2 ?. TECHNICAL PAPERS ******************* URL 1 URL 2 ? Notes: * Comma separated list, each entry on one line. * Again, focus is on finding companies, but I?m also interested in relevant research groups and technical papers that may crop up. Just copy the URL if these crop up. EXPECTATIONS: Please provide some early feedback about what you are finding so I can see how on track it is. I?d expect several tens of companies, most small, some large. I hope the list is mostly relevant and not filled with ?misses?. Depending on how many companies you are finding, a bunch of Research groups and thirdly papers are also appreciated. That is, if you end up stuck on ~10 companies rather than ~50-100 we might switch over to research groups and papers. If it ends up mostly research groups and papers, I?d expect ~$1 per otherwise several 10s of companies. Will tip for obvious effort and/or results. |

Hello - If you need any additional or different information, simply post a clarification request, and I will address your needs. The question is not finished until you're satisfied. Thank you. I'd like to point you to 4 sources that are particularly relevant to your query: 1) Biometric Information Directory http://www.biometricinfodirectory.com/ Simply click the "Sign-in" button on the left, and you'll be taken to a test-drive of this database service, which lists dozens of companies in the Biometrics field (which is particularly relevant to this topic). You can access the companies' names (only) on the free trial. Select sub-topics such as "iris", "face," etc. and this will take you to firms employing video technology. The free trial lists the company names only. For a fee of $200, you can gain access to the contact information for each company, in addition to a breakdown of the companies' status as private or public. 2) Security Magazine http://www.securitymagazine.com This magazine publishes a buyer's guide that spans the entire scope of this industry. You can access the guide online. Click on Buyer's Guide on the right, then choose a category from one of the pull-down menus. 3) Additional vendors can be found at these two links: Find Biometrics www.findbiometrics.com Choose a category on the right, and scroll down to see a list of "additional vendors." A few links to companies in Telemetry here at a personal page http://www.tamug.tamu.edu/labb/Links.htm I've assembled a list of several dozen sites that fall within the scope of your target description.
