20100013931 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CAPTURING, STORING, ANALYZING AND DISPLAYING DATA RELATING TO THE MOVEMENTS OF OBJECTS - A system and method for the capture and storage of data relating to the movements of objects, in a specified area and enables this data to be displayed in a graphically meaningful and useful manner. Video data is collected and video metadata is generated relating to objects (persons) appearing in the video data and their movements over time. The movements of the objects are then analyzed to detect the movements within a region of interest. This detection of movement allows a user, such as a manager of a store, to make informed decisions as to the infrastructure and operation of the store. One detection method relates to the number of people that are present in a region of interest for a specified time period. A second detection method relates to the number of people that remain or dwell in a particular area for a particular time period. A third detection method determines the flow of people and the direction they take within a region of interest. A fourth detection method relates to the number of people that enter a certain area by crossing a virtual line, a tripwire. | 01-21-2010 |
20110193966 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING AND DISPLAYING VIDEO SOURCES - A video system for video surveillance or video monitoring includes a video source, a video control system, and a video management system. The video management system is configured to receive configuration data and generate maps based on the configuration data, wherein at least one of the maps is associated with the video source. The video management system displays the map associated with the video source and displays a graphical symbol on the map which indicates the location of the video source. The video management system then receives a selection of the video source, receives information associated with the selected video source, and displays the received information. | 08-11-2011 |

20140375827 | Systems and Methods for Video System Management - A video system comprises a video source and a video management system. The video management system is configured to receive video from the video source and process the video to generate a report containing information pertaining to activity within the video. The video management system displays the report and receives a selection of an element of the report. The video management system then displays a portion of the video associated with the selected element of the report in response to selection of the element. | 12-25-2014 |
20150199575 | COUNTING AND MONITORING METHOD USING FACE DETECTION - Video is often used to count and identify people entering and exiting an area, such as a store. This information may be used to determine the number and amount of time people are in the area, and other statistics and characteristics. These variables may be skewed by the associates employed or working in the area, instead of patrons or others. The present disclosure is directed to method for eliminating associates from video by facial analysis and the application of analytics. | 07-16-2015 |
