Abstract: The positions of target and a video surveillance sensor are plotted on a computer map display. An icon representing the target and its movement with time is shown on the map, as is the movement of the sensor. The mapping facility preferably is used together with a logger for applying electronic tags and displaying live feeds and stored images of the target, and a timeline device for quickly locating stored images having desired attributes.
Abstract: A video image storage and retrieval system providing computer displays of timelines for video sequences, in which a first timeline shows time divisions for segments for the longer sequences, and the other timelines each provide for locating images within the segments. Timecodes in the other timelines are aligned with those in the first timeline so that searching for images in the other timelines is facilitated.
