Andy Coleman · 2007
Summary form only given. This overview talk will first introduce the Home Office Scientific Development Branch (HOSDB) as organisation and then will offer a summary of our programmes in the area of the physical security sector. The talk will explain how HOSDB is contributing to protection and law enforcement. I will use a series of examples to cover this area. In the second part, the talk shall focus on vision based systems and on HOSDB initiatives on this technology. I will provide a strategic view of initiatives aimed to cause innovation in the industry and academic research. I will then cover our initiatives in bench marking and in video evidence analysis. Finally, I will provide an overview of future technology trends from the HOSDB perspective.
