Three-Dimensionalizing Surveillance Networks James Elder, Project Leader York University
The challenge • To use persistent visual surveillance data to maintain and improve the security and efficiency of our urban centres in the face of rapid growth and increasing complexity
Goals • Automatic, efficient, scaleable methods for extraction and integration of 2D and 3D urban data at street level • Surveillance video, UAV photogrammetry, airborne & terrestrial LIDAR… • Automatic inference of 3D scene properties • Scene segmentation, building characteristics, foliage modeling • Automatic inference of 3Dscene dynamics • Human and pedestrian traffic • Integrated reporting and 3D visualization • For efficient human interpretation • Integration into distributed software architecture • CAE S-Mission architecture

What are the goals of this workshop? • To understand each other’s interests. • To form specific collaborations with well-defined objectives to be achieved over the next 4 years.
Suggested Approach • Form the collaboration around one or more specific students (or postdocs). • Establish a working relationship between the student and individuals in the partner organization. • Program in a specific period in which the student works on site with the partner.
Funding • The project has been told by GEOIDE that we must demonstrate some financial commitment from our partners. • If we do not have this commitment, the project will be cancelled. • This commitment could be demonstrated through partial support of a designated student.
Accelerate Canada • Accelerate Canada is an internship programme for graduate students and postdocs run by MITACS. • The government matches funds provided by a company to fund a student/postdoc for a specific length of time. • The program is available across Canada and may also involve public sector agencies.
Example: Accelerate Ontario • 4-month research project • Student/postdoc spends roughly 2 months on site with company • Company provides $7,500 • Government provides $7,500
Schedule • We need to line these up now, or at least by the fall, so that we can report back to GEOIDE. • Please see www.mitacsinternships.ca for more details.
