CERTH-ITI recently released its VIA annotation tool as open source under the GPL license. You can check it out on SourceForge.
Video Image Annotation Tool (VIA) is a windows application to manually annotate video and images. It provides a user friendly interface for the accurate and undemanding live and "frame by frame" annotation of video and and region-based annotation of still images integrating results from a segmentation algorithm.
The development of this tool has been supported by the Bootstrapping Ontology Evolution with Multimedia Information Extraction (BOEMIE)(FP6-027538) and aceMedia(FP6-001765) projects.

The MEDUSA project, funded by the European Defense Agency (EDA), has started. The project is aiming to study a combination of different types of sensors for supporting operations within urban environments. ITI's contribution to the project will be in the area of data fusion algorithms, video processing and semantic analysis.
The essential improvement that the MEDUSA project will be implementing
is the provision of a means to address major existing capability
shortfalls: (i) in the fusion of data from multiple diverse types of
sensors and (ii) in the data representation, by means of a consolidated
and integrated view, including overlaying across 3D GIS (Geographical
Information System) models to facilitate decision-making by commanders
of control and support operations.
