摘要:
Techniques are disclosed for visually conveying a sequence storing an ordered string of symbols generated from kinematic data derived from analyzing an input stream of video frames depicting one or more foreground objects. The sequence may represent information learned by a video surveillance system. A request may be received to view the sequence or a segment partitioned form the sequence. A visual representation of the segment may be generated and superimposed over a background image associated with the scene. A user interface may be configured to display the visual representation of the sequence or segment and to allow a user to view and/or modify properties associated with the sequence or segment.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and a system for mapping a scene depicted in an acquired stream of video frames that may be used by a machine-learning behavior-recognition system. A background image of the scene is segmented into plurality of regions representing various objects of the background image. Statistically similar regions may be merged and associated. The regions are analyzed to determine their z-depth order in relation to a video capturing device providing the stream of the video frames and other regions, using occlusions between the regions and data about foreground objects in the scene. An annotated map describing the identified regions and their properties is created and updated.

A sequence layer in a machine-learning engine configured to learn from the observations of a computer vision engine. In one embodiment, the machine-learning engine uses the voting experts to segment adaptive resonance theory (ART) network label sequences for different objects observed in a scene. The sequence layer may be configured to observe the ART label sequences and incrementally build, update, and trim, and reorganize an ngram trie for those label sequences. The sequence layer computes the entropies for the nodes in the ngram trie and determines a sliding window length and vote count parameters. Once determined, the sequence layer may segment newly observed sequences to estimate the primitive events observed in the scene as well as issue alerts for inter-sequence and intra-sequence anomalies.

Techniques are disclosed for a computer vision engine to update both a background model and thresholds used to classify pixels as depicting scene foreground or background in response to detecting that a sudden illumination changes has occurred in a sequence of video frames. The threshold values may be used to specify how much pixel a given pixel may differ from corresponding values in the background model before being classified as depicting foreground. When a sudden illumination change is detected, the values for pixels affected by sudden illumination change may be used to update the value in the background image to reflect the value for that pixel following the sudden illumination change as well as update the threshold for classifying that pixel as depicting foreground/background in subsequent frames of video.

Techniques are disclosed for visually conveying an event map. The event map may represent information learned by a surveillance system. A request may be received to view the event map for a specified scene. The event map may be generated, including a background model of the specified scene and at least one cluster providing a statistical distribution of an event in the specified scene. Each statistical distribution may be derived from data streams generated from a sequence of video frames depicting the specified scene captured by a video camera. Each event may be observed to occur at a location in the specified scene corresponding to a location of the respective cluster in the event map. The event map may be configured to allow a user to view and/or modify properties associated with each cluster. For example, the user may label a cluster and set events matching the cluster to always (or never) generate an alert.

Techniques are disclosed for visually conveying a percept. The percept may represent information learned by a video surveillance system. A request may be received to view a percept for a specified scene. The percept may have been derived from data streams generated from a sequence of video frames depicting the specified scene captured by a video camera. A visual representation of the percept may be generated. A user interface may be configured to display the visual representation of the percept and to allow a user to view and/or modify metadata attributes with the percept. For example, the user may label a percept and set events matching the percept to always (or never) result in alert being generated for users of the video surveillance system.

Techniques are disclosed for visually conveying a trajectory map. The trajectory map provides users with a visualization of data observed by a machine-learning engine of a behavior recognition system. Further, the visualization may provide an interface used to guide system behavior. For example, the interface may be used to specify that the behavior recognition system should alert (or not alert) when a particular trajectory is observed to occur.
摘要:
Techniques are disclosed for a video surveillance system to learn to recognize complex behaviors by analyzing pixel data using alternating layers of clustering and sequencing. A video surveillance system may be configured to observe a scene (as depicted in a sequence of video frames) and, over time, develop hierarchies of concepts including classes of objects, actions and behaviors. That is, the video surveillance system may develop models at progressively more complex levels of abstraction used to identify what events and behaviors are common and which are unusual. When the models have matured, the video surveillance system issues alerts on unusual events.
