20120008868 | Video Image Event Attention and Analysis System and Method - A video image event attention and analysis system comprising a video image input means, an event attention means, an event report means and a method comprising numerous steps of processes is provided for automatically detecting, analyzing, classifying events from input video image sequences. The changes in the event happen at some small part of visual world embedded in a largely persistent environment. Visual events are characterized through such duality. Accordingly, the method of this invention comprises processes first extracting features of the persistent environment and features of active agents, both are event specific, in separated channels, each followed by a corresponding recognition process, one for environment and one for active agents, and then the dynamical system of their coupling, particular their movements against environment and against each other, are analyzed and results are synthesized and interpreted in a process of hierarchical event classification. | 01-12-2012 |
