First Workshop on Video Analytics in Public Safety (VAPS)

The first Video Analytics in Public Safety (VAPS) Workshop, organized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), was held June 6, 2016, in San Diego, California. The workshop was a satellite workshop of the Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Broadband Stakeholder Meeting, which was held June 7-9. The goal of the VAPS workshop was to create an environment where technical stakeholders of all types could exchange knowledge, practices, needs, challenges, issues and ideas to jointly identify the critical research and development (R&D), resources, standards, and collaboration vehicles and infrastructure to support the creation of a robust public safety video analytics R&D ecosystem.
