摘要: A method and an apparatus for forming a video stream based on images of a scene captured by a camera. The method comprises: encoding image frames based on images captured by the camera, forming an encoded portion; determining a length of motion for a sample image frame, the length of motion being indicative of the amount of relative motion between the camera and the scene in the sample image frame relative a temporally preceding image frame; setting a motion length threshold based on a motion vector search range of the encoder; comparing the determined length of motion with the set motion length threshold; based on the outcome of the comparison, adjusting a chosen temporal frame distance of at least an adjustment portion (PA) of the video stream, wherein the adjustment portion is comprised in the encoded portion or in a temporally later encoded portion.

摘要: A video encoder receives a frame to be encoded and divides the current frame into blocks of pixels. For each block, a spatial variability is calculated and a cost function used to evaluate a cost for inter-coding the block of pixels is set to be dependent on the spatial variability. A ratio of a weight associated with a cost of encoding a motion vector and a weight associated with a sum of differences value is set to be lower if the spatial variability of the block of pixels in the current frame is below a first threshold compared to if the spatial variability is equal to or above the first threshold. The block is matched with a plurality of blocks in a reference frame, and a cost for inter-coding the block with reference to each of the plurality of blocks in a reference frame is evaluated according to the cost function.

摘要: There is provided a method for controlling an infrared cut, IR-cut, filter of a video camera. An indication to switch state of the IR-cut filter of the video camera is received, and a switch of state of the IR-cut filter is synchronized with a video encoding of frames captured by the video camera, such that the IR-cut filter is controlled to switch state when the video camera is about to capture a frame which is a predetermined number of frames before a frame which is scheduled to be encoded as an intra-frame.

摘要: A method of failover recording of video streams in a camera connectable to a receiver device over a communication network, the method comprising: detecting that a bandwidth of a connection over the communication network is insufficient for transmitting a video stream at a predetermined bitrate, generating multiple parallel encoded video streams with different bitrates, storing the multiple parallel encoded video streams on a memory storage accessible to the camera, detecting that the memory storage usage of the memory storage exceeds a storage threshold, discontinuing the storing of one of the multiple encoded video streams being the encoded video stream that provides the highest bitrate among the multiple encoded video streams, and discarding the one of the multiple encoded video streams from the memory storage.

摘要: A method for determining authenticity of a video in a surveillance system, whereby a sequence of image frames of a scene is captured, and an object is tracked. A current image quality measure in an image area corresponding to the tracked object is determined in at least a first and second image frame. chosen such that the object has moved at least a predetermined distance between the first and second image frames. A current image quality measure variation for the object is determined, the image quality measure variation describing the image quality measure as a function of position of the object in the image frames. The current image quality measure variation is compared to a known image quality measure variation. In response to the current image quality measure variation deviating from the known pixel density variation by less than a predetermined amount, it is determined that the video is authentic.

摘要: An exposure time controller for controlling an exposure time (ET) variable of a video camera, which is associated with an auto-exposure algorithm configured to reduce an exposure mismatch (ΔE) by incrementing and decrementing the ET variable, which comprises: a memory for recording ET values applied while the video camera is imaging a scene and the algorithm is active; and processing circuitry configured to: determine that the exposure mismatch exceeds a threshold while the video camera is imaging the scene; estimate a distribution of the recorded ET values; based on the estimated distribution, identify multiple relatively most frequent ET values; and, in reaction to determining that the exposure mismatch exceeds the threshold, assign one of the identified ET values to the ET variable.

摘要: A method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for encoding a privacy masked image into an encoded image frame of a video stream is disclosed. The encoding comprises receiving pixel divided image data of an image; receiving data defining an area and graphical characteristic of a privacy mask that masks part of the image; extending the privacy mask to be aligned with one or more encoding units having one or more pixels located within the privacy mask to form a redefined privacy mask; generating a privacy masked image by applying the redefined privacy mask and the graphical characteristic of the privacy mask to the image; and encoding the privacy masked image into the encoded image frame of the video stream, wherein the encoding comprises preventing spatial prediction encoding and/or temporal prediction encoding of pixels within the redefined privacy mask of the image in response to certain conditions.
