Economic benefits from sales of people-tracking and crowd-monitoring technology

Description of impact

Research at Kingston University into methods for tracking pedestrians and monitoring crowds using computer vision techniques has been translated into commercial products by Ipsotek Ltd and BAe Systems, resulting in economic benefits to these companies from sales of these products.
These products have been sold to high-profile customers including the London Eye, the O2 Arena
and the Australian Government, providing significant commercial benefits, employment and growth
for both companies, as well as providing an economic impact for these customers.
