Camera Network Research Data Collection

REQUEST FOR INFORMATIONThis RFI seeks capability statements relating to the collection of research data from multi-camera video networks in support of computer vision research. Over the past five years, there have been notable advances in computer vision approaches to facilitate tracking and re-identification of persons in security camera networks. However, the primary datasets available to the research community for algorithm training and performance evaluations, while incredibly valuable, are somewhat limited in subject count, camera network scope, and environmental factors, resulting in a disconnect between the data being leveraged by researchers and the types of video data that would exist in actual video networks utilized by public safety and law enforcement entities. Further research in the area of computer vision within multi-camera video networks may support post-event crime scene reconstruction, protection of critical infrastructure and transportation facilities, military force protection, and in the operations of National Special Security
