    摘要: A method of processing a video stream comprises receiving a first/second set of input image frames comprising image data originating from a first/second source of input image frames; encoding the sets of input image frames into first/second sets of encoded image frames, forming a combined video stream, wherein an encoded image frame of the first set of encoded image frames exclusively references one or more other encoded image frames of the first set of encoded image frames, and an encoded image frame of the second set of encoded image frames references both an encoded image frame of the first set of encoded image frames and another encoded image frame of the second set of encoded image frames; and signing, using a first/second key, a first/second signing group comprising one or more encoded image frames of the first/second set of encoded image frames, wherein each key pertains to the respective source.

    摘要: Video encoding is provided using periodic intra refresh, which can adapt padding of an intra encoding region between image frames based on a current level motion in the image frame. Upon a current level of motion not exceeding a first threshold, an intra encoding region of the image frame according to a predefined periodic intra refresh pattern is intra encoded. Upon the current level of motion exceeding the first threshold, the intra encoding region of the image frame is expanded to overlap to a determined extent with a previously encoded intra encoding region among the plurality of image frames, and the expanded intra encoding region of the image frame is intra encoded. Regions of the image different from the intra encoding regions and the expanded intra encoded region, respectively are inter frame encoded.

    摘要: A method for encoding video is disclosed wherein information representative of pixels in an image frame is received, and a spatial statistical measure of said information is calculated for groups of neighbouring pixels to form a group value for each group of pixels. A set of available quantization steps is determined comprising a first predetermined quantization step. For a first group of neighbouring pixels, the method comprises: for each available quantization step calculating a remainder after division of the group value of the first group of pixels by the respective available quantization step. The quantization step of the set that results in the smallest remainder is selected as selected quantization step. The first group of pixels is encoded using the selected quantization step. A method of encoding differences between image frames is also disclosed, as well as encoding systems.

    摘要: A method encodes a sequence of image frames depicting an object whose privacy is to be protected. A first and a second version of the sequence of image frames is generated. Image frames of the first version, but not the second version, of the sequence are provided with a privacy mask to protect the privacy of the object depicted therein. The first version of the sequence is encoded as a first encoded sequence of intra-coded image frames and inter-coded image frames. A second version of the sequence is encoded as a second encoded sequence of inter-coded image frames. The inter-coded image frames of the second encoded sequence are encoded by using the intra-coded image frames of the first encoded sequence. The inter-coded image frames of the second encoded sequence are encrypted, and thereafter the first and the second encoded sequence are merged into a single output sequence.

    摘要: A method for identifying events in a scene captured by a motion video camera comprises two identification processes, a temporary identification process and a long-term identification process. The temporary process includes: analyzing pixel data from captured image frames and identifying events; registering camera processing data relating to each image frame subjected to the identification of events; and adjusting weights belonging to an event identifying operation, wherein the weights are adjusted for achieving high correlation between the result from the event identifying operation and the result from the identification based on analysis of pixels from captured image frames of the captured scene. The long-term identification process includes: identifying events in the captured scene by inputting registered camera processing data to the event identifying operation. The temporary identification process is then executed during a predetermined time period and the long-term identification process is executed after the predetermined initial time has expired.
