C Academic beneficiaries (4000 characters max) Please summarise how your proposed research will contribute to knowledge, both within the UK and globally. Please look broadly beyond narrow research fields. We recognise that in generating new knowledge, a crossdisciplinary or single-disciplinary approach may be the most appropriate. Applicants are asked to clearly state their chosen approach and provide justification for that choice. List of beneficiaries How the research will benefit other researchers in the field Whether there are any academic beneficiaries in other disciplines and, if so, how they will benefit and what will be done to ensure that they benefit What other researchers, both within the UK and elsewhere are likely to be interested in or to benefit from the proposed research. Relevance of the research to beneficiaries Identify the potential academic impact of the proposed work Show how the research will benefit other researchers (this might include methodological or theoretical advances Identify whether the research will produce data or materials of benefit to other researchers, and explain how these will be stored, maintained and made available D Impact Summary (4000 characters max) The Impact Summary (4000 characters max) should address the three questions: Who will benefit from this research? How will they benefit from this research? What will be done to ensure that they have the opportunity to benefit from this research? Who will benefit from this research List any beneficiaries from the research, for example those who are likely to be interested in or to benefit from the proposed research both directly or indirectly. It may be useful to think of beneficiaries as users of the research outputs, both immediately, and in the longer term. within the commercial private sector? policy-makers, government and government agencies within the public sector, third sector or any others? (museums, galleries and charities) within the wider public? How will they benefit from this research Describe the relevance of the research to these beneficiaries, identifying the potential for impacts arising from the proposed work. Please consider the following when framing your response: Explain how the research has the potential to impact on the nations health, wealth or culture. security, surveillance What will these impacts be, and what is their importance? What are the realistic timescales for the benefits to be realised? What research and professional skills will staff working on the project develop which they could apply in all employment sectors? Actions taken to ensure this Please detail how the proposed research project will be managed to engage users and beneficiaries and increase the likelihood of impacts Communication and engagement plans Collaboration arrangements Plans for exploitation Relevant experience and track record Oxford Brookes Computer Vision Group has very well established channels for making technology transfer from research to product and a track record of achieving this. The group has now well trodden paths for exploiting IP with a track record of company interactions including Sony, Vicon, 2d3, HMGCC and Sharp. Prof. Torrs links with Yotta, Microsoft, Sony in particular, and throughout the industry in general will provide a fertile ground for exploitation.
E Impact plan Please detail how the proposed research project will be managed to engage users and beneficiaries and increase the likelihood of impacts Methods for communications and engagement Collaboration and exploitation in the most effective and appropriate manner Track record in this area and the costs of these activities E.1 Communications and engagement Describe engagement with the identified beneficiaries, for example: How have beneficiaries been engaged to date, and how will they be engaged moving forward? How will the work build on existing or create new links? Outline plans to work with intermediary organisations or networks. What activities will be undertaken to ensure good engagement and communication? Secondments of research or user community staff Events aimed at a target audience Workshops to provide training or information dissemination Publications and publicity materials summarising main outcomes in a way that beneficiaries will be able to understand and use Websites and interactive media Media relations Public affairs activities E.2 Exploitation and application Identify the mechanisms in place for potential exploitation, both commercially and non-commercially Do you have any specific partnership, collaborative or exploitation agreements in place? Oxford Brookes Computer Vision department already has an established record for exploiting IP, and interactions with company, including Sony, Vicon, 2d3, HMGCC and Sharp. How will the outputs with potential impact be identified? What structure and mechanisms can you put in place to exploit and protect the outputs from the research, during and at the end of the grant lifecycle? Intellectual Property Rights management and exploitation will be managed by the Research and Business Development Office (RBDO) at Oxford Brookes University, which has access to financial and other resources to enable Intellectual Property and its commercial exploitation to be effectively managed, whilst maximizing the widespread dissemination of the research results. This includes, as appropriate, finance for patenting and proof of concept funding; IP, technology and market assessment; resources for defining and implementing a commercialization strategy though licensing, start-up company or other routes. E.3 Capability Who is likely to be undertaking the impact activities? For example: The Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator PhD students and post-doctoral researchers who may be involved in activities in addition to research; Specialised staff employed to undertake communication and exploitation activities; Technical experts to write publications, web pages and user-friendly interfaces. What previous and relevant experience do they have in achieving successful knowledge exchange and impact? How will they acquire the skills? E.4 Resource for the activity If there are any resource implications as a result of implementing the knowledge exchange and/or impact activities, please ensure these are documented in the financial summary and also in the Justification of Resources section of the proposal. Research results will be fully disseminated and published via international journals and conferences, and the Oxford Brookes website. Currently the Oxford Brookes vision group the proposer belongs to maintains a full programme of publication at all the major conferences in addition in the related fields of graphics and machine learning. All published papers and the generated code will be made available on a website that will be established specifically for the project. Many companies are active in the commercialization of vision-based products, in particular in the fields of automatic surveillance, gait biometrics, human computer interaction, image-based web retrieval. I expect to exploit my personal links in this sense with researchers in several world class companies (many of them with research divisions in Europe) like Microsoft Research, Honeywell Labs (I. Cohen), Boston’s Mitsubishi Electric Research Lab (M. Brand, S. Ramalingam), GE (G. Doretto), Google (A. Bissacco).
