About i-LIDS

VA provide automated video analysis and event detection and i-LIDS is the Government's benchmark for VA.  The Government is committed to promoting the development of VA to help in policing and counter-terrorist operations.

The datasets

i-LIDS datasets have been developed in partnership with the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (new window). They have been designed to help evaluate the usability of these systems for government use. The datasets will be available to academics and manufacturers for use in their research programmes.

i-LIDS currently consists of a video library of CCTV footage based on five different scenarios:

Event Detection
  • Abandoned baggage
  • Parked vehicle
  • Doorway surveillance
  • Sterile zone
Object Tracking
  • Multiple Camera Tracking
