Ipsotek: cooperation with Kingston University for creating new modules. Ipsotek and Kingston University in south west London are working together to create advanced motion tracking and object classification modules.
The project is a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP), a business support scheme run by the Technology Strategy Board.
A recent graduate is employed to work on a strategic project for a company, jointly supported by a company supervisor and an academic expert.
KTPs receive funding of up to 60% of the project costs.
Ipsotek’s objective is to optimise modules for motion tracking, object classification and event detection.
Dr Dimitrios Makris, a senior lecturer at Kingston University, said: “In our collaboration we want to create a general platform that will allow users to inform the surveillance system of scenarios that are of interest and the system will then identify those situations for them“.
