Abstract: Examples provide a video security system including an electronic processor configured to detect an anomaly by obtaining video data captured using an image sensor and determining a number of people detected in each of a plurality of frames of the video data. For each moment t, the electronic processor determines an average number of people n over a time interval (t??t1, t), where ?t1 is greater than or equal to the moment t. For each non-overlapping time interval ?t1, the electronic processor updates a histogram based on the average number of people for the time interval ?t1. In response to determining, using the histogram, that the probability ? of the average number of people n over the time interval (t??t1, t) is less than a threshold probability ?*, the electronic processor generates an alert indicating that an anomalous crowd size is detected.

Abstract: Cameras having storage fixtures within their fields of view are programmed to capture images and process clips of the images to generate sets of features representing product spaces and actors depicted within such images, and to classify the clips as depicting or not depicting a shopping event. Where consecutive clips are determined to depict a shopping event, features of such clips are combined into a sequence and transferred, along with classifications of the clips and a start time and end time of the shopping event, to a multi-camera system. A shopping hypothesis is generated based on such sequences of features received from cameras, along with information regarding items detected within the hands of such actors, to determine a summary of shopping activity by an actor, and to update a record of items associated with the actor accordingly.

If the interactive television application determines that the user's equipment does not have sufficient resources, the interactive television application may select, automatically or in response to a user instruction, the program for recording with a network recording device. In some embodiments, the user may have to pay for the use of the network recording device, or may be required to purchase a given tier level of service. The interactive television application may play back programs from the network recording device as VOD offerings, or may direct the network recording device to transfer recorded programs to the user's equipment when it has sufficient resources.
