Goal
The task of IIS is to develop realtime image processing algorithms for recognition, localisation and identification of humans. There are no limitations regarding environmental conditions. To retrieve the resulting video sequences, content related description and organisation schemes basing on the existing MPEG-7 standard  will be developed. In this way scalable and efficient access to content information will be obtained.
