Abstract: A solution for a video surveillance system and method that leverages a dynamic geographic footprint and supports an object-based query of archived video content is described. An exemplary embodiment of the solution receives video footage from any number of unrelated sources. The video footage is parsed for content and stored in a database in connection with data that identifies the content (object class, aspects of the object, confidence scores, time and location data, etc.). Advantageously, the video footage may be queried based on content of the video footage and not just time and location data. In this way, embodiments of the solution provide for efficient query and review of relevant video footage.

Abstract: A method and system for capturing and filtering surveillance images are described. A processor detects motion of an object in a field of view and then generates a plurality of images in response to detecting motion of the object in the field of view. A first filter is then applied to the plurality of images and later, the one or remaining images based on the first filter are stored in a memory device. In response to a triggering event, an energy conserving processor is activated from a sleep mode of operation where the energy conserving processor applies a second filter to the remaining images from the first filter. The energy conserving processor assigns a confidence score to one or more images matching the second filter. With the second filter, the energy conserving processor selects fewer images for RF transmission to a remote image analyzer, resulting in increased power savings.
