Abstract: A security system can use video analytics and/or other input parameters to identify a theft event. Optionally, the security system can take remedial action in response. For example, the security system can use video analytics to determine that a person has reached into a shelf multiple times at a rate above a threshold, which can indicate that a thief is quickly removing items from the shelf. The security system can also use video analytics to determine that a person has reached into a shelf via a sweeping action, which can indicate that a thief is gathering and removing a large quantity of items from the shelf in one motion. In response, the security system can alert security personnel, cause a speaker to output an audible message in the target area, flag portions of the video relating to the theft event, activate or ready other sensors or systems, and/or the like.

The method receives an image frame of a bitstream and determines a block unit having a block width and a block height based on the received image frame.

The predicted block is generated by predicting block unit based on a prediction mode different from the geometric partitioning mode when the geometric partitioning mode is disabled for the block unit. The method them reconstructs the block unit based on the predicted block.
