Dataset applications

Information on how to apply for datasets, pricing and system requirements.

Applications

For event detection datasets complete the application form and end-user licence agreement.  Your application must be accompanied by the correct payment. More information about pricing.

For multiple-camera tracking datasets complete the MCT application form and the relevent end-user licence agreement for commercial companies or academic institutions.

Application forms will be dealt with on a first-come. first-served basis. Each application form must be accompanied by a signed and dated copy of the end-user licence agreement.  A member of the i-LIDS team will contact you to discuss your application once it has been processed.

A user guide is supplied with public datasets  and it describes the library structure, user interface and the procedure we use to evaluate systems at our trials.

There are some system requirements to be considered when applying for a dataset. 

System requirements

Each public dataset is provided on a 500GB USB2/Firewire external hard drive - except the MCTS Scenario which is 1TB - in either NTFS or Mac format as required. 

The video is rendered in "Quicktime MJPEG" format. Apple's free "Quicktime" viewer is required to view the video. Users with "Quicktime Pro" can easily join adjacent clips together.

To obtain a composite output signal at full frame rate, it is suggested that users use a video editing package and DVD burner to export i-LIDS footage onto a DVD which can then be played on a stand-alone DVD player.

Internet Explorer 6 is the recommended browser for accessing the user interface

Applicants must be developers of VBDS.
