An invention for generating a coding schema for identifying a spatial location of an event within video image data is provided. In one embodiment, there is a spatial representation tool, including a compression component configured to receive trajectory data of an event within video image data, generate a lossless compressed contour-coded blob to encode the trajectory data of the event within video image data, and generate a lossy searchable code to enable searching of a relational database based on the trajectory data of the event within the video image data.

A system and method for monitoring events includes defining alert events based on primitive event types in an environment monitored by monitoring devices. Alert parameters are set for each alert event, and alert events are combined to create a composite alert event based on a plurality of alert events. A plurality of engines is monitored to determine if multiple events comprising the composite alert event have occurred.

An approach that manages moving surveillance cameras is described. In one embodiment, there is a system for managing images generated from a movable camera. In this embodiment, the system comprises a motion estimation component configured to determine camera motion. A camera motion alert component is configured to generate an alert in response to a determination that the camera has moved or the camera has ceased moving.

A solution for monitoring an area while accounting for camera motion and/or monitoring tasks is provided. For example, a physical area corresponding to a new field of view can be estimated for a camera for which motion is detected. The physical area can be estimated using a set of reference images previously captured by the camera, each of which comprises a unique field of view previously captured by the camera. Based on the physical area, a status for a monitoring task of the camera (e.g., an alert) can be updated and/or a location of an area for the monitoring task within an image captured by the camera can be updated. Further, based on the update(s), a field of view for a second camera can be automatically adjusted and/or a status for the monitoring task on the second camera can be automatically updated.

A solution for monitoring an area includes using a region schema for the area. The region schema can include a set of prototypical tracks, each of which includes a start location, an end location, and a trajectory. The trajectory comprises an expected path an object will travel between the start location and the end location and can include variation information that defines an amount that an object can vary from the trajectory. The region schema can be generated by obtaining training object tracking data for the area for an initialization time period and evaluating the object tracking data to identify the set of prototypical tracks. While monitoring the area, monitored object tracking data is obtained for a monitored object in the area, and abnormal behavior of the monitored object is identified when the monitored object tracking data for the monitored object does not follow at least one of the set of prototypical tracks in the region schema.

Methods and apparatus are provided for normalizing objects across a plurality of image viewpoints. A set of classification results are obtained for a given object class across a sequence of images for each of a plurality of viewpoints. The classification results are each comprised of a position of one of the objects in the image, and at least one projected property of the object at that position. Normalization parameters are then determined for each of the viewpoints by fitting a high order model to the classification results to model a change in the projected property. The high order model may implement a least squares fit of a second order polynomial to the classification results. The normalization parameters may be used to compute normalized features and normalized training data for object classification.

摘要:
A method and system for real time processing of a sequence of video frames. A current frame in the sequence and at least one frame in the sequence occurring prior to the current frame is analyzed. Each frame includes a two-dimensional array of pixels. The sequence of video frames is received in synchronization with a recording of the video frames in real time. The analyzing includes performing a background subtraction on the at least one frame, which determines a background image and a static region mask associated with a static region consisting of a contiguous distribution of pixels in the current frame. The static region mask identifies each pixel in the static region upon the static region mask being superimposed on the current frame. The background image includes the array of pixels and a background model of the at least one frame and does not include any moving object.

A method for real time processing of a sequence of video frames. The video frames are received in synchronization with a recording of the video frames in real time for triggering an alert. The method is implemented by execution of program code on a processor of a computer system. Each frame includes a two-dimensional array of pixels and a frame-dependent color intensity at each pixel. An algorithm determines whether a static object in a current frame of the video frames is an abandoned object or a removed object. The determined status, the current frame time, the static region, and the static object are stored in a data storage medium of the computer system. An alarm is triggered in response to satisfaction of requirements that include a persistence requirement, a non-persistence duration requirement, and a persistence duration requirement.

Techniques for tracking entities using a single overhead camera are provided. A foreground region is detected in a video frame of the single overhead camera corresponding to one or more entities. It is determined if the foreground region is associated with an existing tracker. It is determined whether the detected foreground region is the result of at least one of a merger of two or more smaller foreground regions having corresponding existing trackers and a split of a larger foreground region having a corresponding existing tracker when the detected foreground region is not associated with an existing tracker. The detected foreground region is tracked via at least one existing tracker when the foreground region is associated with an existing tracker or the foreground region is the result of at least one of a merger and a split.
