20080267458 | FACE IMAGE LOG CREATION - A system and method are provided for constructing face image logs from video surveillance that are complete and concise in the sense that the logs contain only the best images available for each individual observed. The quality of the face images are assessed and scored based upon a plurality of image criteria. The image criteria are combined to an overall quality score. The quality score is associated with the face image enabling the face log to be purged so that only high quality face images are contained in the log. | 10-30-2008 |
20110109742 | BROKER MEDIATED VIDEO ANALYTICS METHOD AND SYSTEM - A method comprises transmitting video data from a source end to a central server via a Wide Area Network (WAN). The video data includes video data relating to an event of interest, and is captured using a video camera disposed at the source end. Via a plurality of streams, the video data is transmitted from the central server to each one of a plurality of different video analytics engines. Different video analytics processing of the video data is performed using each one of the plurality of different video analytics engines. | 05-12-2011 |
20110113461 | VIDEO ANALYTICS BASED CONTROL OF VIDEO DATA STORAGE - A method comprises receiving first video data at a source end, the first video data including video data relating to an event of interest captured using a video camera disposed at the source end. The first video data is retrievably stored in a memory storage device. Video analytics is performed on the first video data to identify a first portion of the first video data that is representative of the event of interest. Subsequently, portions of the first video data other than the first portion are deleted from the memory storage device. | 05-12-2011 |
20120194676 | VIDEO ANALYTICS METHOD AND SYSTEM - A method for performing video analytics comprises capturing video data using a video source disposed at an acquisition end. The captured video data is stored at the acquisition end, and non-adjacent single frames of the captured video data are transmitted from the acquisition end to a server via an IP network. The non-adjacent single frames of captured video data are transmitted one at a time at known time intervals, or a burst of a plurality of non-adjacent single frames is transmitted at another known time interval. At the server, video analytics is performed on a current one of the non-adjacent single frames for detecting an actionable event relative to a previous one of the non-adjacent single frames. In response to detecting an actionable event, a signal for requesting previously stored video data captured between the current one of the non-adjacent single frames and the previous one of the non-adjacent single frames is transmitted to the acquisition end via the IP network. | 08-02-2012 |
20120195363 | VIDEO ANALYTICS WITH PRE-PROCESSING AT THE SOURCE END - A method for performing video analytics includes receiving at a source end video data including first video data relating to an event of interest. Using video analytics, other than a data compression process, pre-processing of the video data is performed at the source end to reduce the bandwidth requirement for transmitting the video data to below a bandwidth limit of a Wide Area Network (WAN) over which the video data is to be transmitted. The pre-processed video data is transmitted to a central server via the WAN, where other video analytics processing of the pre-processed video data is performed. Based on a result of the other video analytics processing, a signal is generated for performing a predetermined action, in response to an occurrence of the event of interest at the source end. | 08-02-2012 |
20130222589 | SINGLE-CAMERA DISTANCE ESTIMATION - Systems and methods for estimating distances to objects or features are described. The distance estimation tracks features across images captured from a single camera and uses an estimation of the ground motion to determine the distance estimate to the tracked features. | 08-29-2013 |
20140036073 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ANONYMOUS VIDEO ANALYTICS PROCESSING - A method includes receiving, at a peer node, statistical data based on video data and relating to the video data, but other than a video content and an image content of the video data. In particular, the peer node is other than within a trusted group of nodes trusted for accessing the video data. At the peer node, the statistical data is analyzed to identify predetermined patterns therein. Upon identifying a predetermined pattern, a signal is provided to a trusted processor relating to the identified pattern. | 02-06-2014 |
20140036090 | COLLECTIVE BROADCASTING BASED ON GEO-LOCALIZED VIDEO STREAMING - A method for providing streamed video data from a plurality of sources within a known geographic area includes receiving at a server, via a communication network, first video stream data captured within the known geographic area using a first user device and second video stream data captured within the known geographic area using a second user device. The first video stream data is provided from the server to a display device associated with a user for being viewed by the user. An indication that the second video stream data is available to be viewed in addition to the first video stream data is also provided, from the server to the display device, via the communication network. | 02-06-2014 |
20150106738 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING IMAGE OR AUDIO DATA - A system for performing video and or audio analytics includes a sensor at a source end. The sensor is for capturing sensor data comprising at least one of video data and audio data, and for providing at least a portion of the captured sensor data via a data output port thereof. The system also includes a data store having stored thereon machine-readable | 04-16-2015 |
20150154840 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING VIDEO ANALYTICS RESULTS - Video data relating to a field of view is captured by a video camera. The captured video data is provided to a cloud-based processor via a communication network and is processed. thereon according to a video analytics process to detect an actionable event within the captured video data and, in response to a detected actionable event, an alert signal relating is transmitted to an electronic communication device that is associated with a user. Based on the alert signal an alert message is displayed via a display portion of the electronic communication device and a user interface is provided in association with the displaying of the alert message supporting selection by the user of a video-display device. A user input indicative of selection of the video display device is received via the user interface. The captured video data is then displayed in the human intelligible form on the video display device. | 06-04-2015 |
