SVS Demo System Camera Requirements

1. SVS Demo System Camera Requirements Rick Kjeldsen

2. Demo System Overview • Shows basic capabilities of SVS using live cameras • Live cameras are more compelling than recorded video • Includes a variety of use cases to appeal to various customers • Shows targeted use cases with video files • Use cases which are hard to get live, such as rail crossings, city streets, boat traffic, etc • Used by sales teams world wide • Instructions available on SVS Wiki • Also available via Smarter Cities Live web site • Constant availability

3. Required views and use cases(priority order) • Building Entrance or similar with good volume of person or vehicle traffic that varies throughout the day • Alerts record specific activity, e.g. people entering building, so can show usage statistics • Close view of people approaching camera where face details are visible • People search using facial attributes (bald, glasses, head color, etc) • Full body view of people approaching camera where clothing color is clear • People search using clothing color • Road with regular traffic • Search for and count cars, Alert on “speeding” • 2 or more cameras with non-overlapping views where 50% or more people or vehicles pass through both scenes • Multi-camera search • Ideally these are people search cameras with one near-field and one mid-field • Open area where people take different paths • Show person track summaries and heat maps • Waiting area • Alert on loitering and “abandoned” packages • Transient parking area • Alert on “illegal” parking • “Secure zone” with low activity • Alert on specific activities that can be considered “suspicious” • e.g. person entering area or approaching a device, >1 person in area, or person jumping over fence

4. Camera Requirements • The views on the previous slide can be combined in any workable combination. Examples of good combinations are: • 1 & 8, 2 & 3 & 5, 6 & 7, 1 & 3 • Ideally there should be 6 separate cameras, but as few as 3 are acceptable if a good selection of use cases are covered • Some cameras should be indoor and some outdoor • If we can find a camera where people put down “abandoned” objects regularly, then that use case should be high priority • An outdoor building entrance or entrance lobby is a good candidate because we can show customers that we captured them as they arrived. • Cameras images must be clear and well lit with good color • Most cameras must not move (PTZ) • Having one camera that does move occasionally will enable us to show we handle it. • At least one outdoor camera should have good night images

5. Security and Privacy Issues • Current • Demo only available on IBM intranet (9.2.. network) • Demo only shown to IBM customers by IBM personnel • Demo systems and software are password protected • Demo password distributed with demo instructions on as-needed basis • Video storage (VMS) password is not distributed • Video captured from system (e.g. for research purposes) is stored on secure server • Meets corporate instructions for customer data • Proposed • Post signs in all locations where video is captured • Prominent warnings distributed with demo instructions that video and images are not to be saved or published
