Video surveillance standardisation activities, process and roadmap: ERNCIP Thematic Group Video Surveillance for Security of Critical
Infrastructure
The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of standards in video surveillance, including the need for standards, an overview of existing relevant standardisation efforts including gaps, and a roadmap for future standards development.
The first part of the document identifies the need for standardization. The programming mandate M/487 issued by the EC to standards bodies in 2011 to study existing standards in the security domain, to establish gaps, and to propose a standardization work programme, did not directly address video analytics or video surveillance in its remit, hence these areas remain weakly addressed. The report provides a case study on post-event investigative video analysis illustrating the requirements for such standards, especially on interoperability aspects.
The report then details standard development organizations relevant to surveillance, including an overview of their work. This includes interface standards organizations, working groups and technical committees, and relevant ISO/IEC standards including on alarm systems, multimedia, forensics, video surveillance, and risk analysis. Standardization also covers benchmarking activities, whose aim is to effectively assess the performance of algorithms and systems in order to attain robustness under varying conditions. The history of relevant initiatives is provided in this report, including details on specific programmes, projects, and methodology. Prior work on certification on video surveillance systems is also described.
The report then details a gap analysis of standards in video surveillance. This includes lack of standards at different levels of interoperability, lack of a universally agreed set of performance evaluation benchmarking metrics for video analytics, and the lack of European level certification for surveillance systems or its components.
Finally, the report makes a number of recommendations for video surveillance standards. This includes new work items to (1) develop one or more EU standards for surveillance of critical infrastructure, and (2) to develop a harmonized certification procedure for video surveillance systems and components for protection of critical infrastructure at EU level.
