Abstract: A system and method to automatically generate a secondary video stream based on an incoming primary video stream. The method including performing video analytics on the primary video stream to generate one or more analysis results, detecting the first target of interest using the analysis results, automatically extracting a first secondary video stream that captures at least a portion of a first target of interest and has a field of view smaller than that of the primary video stream, tracking the first target of interest, displaying the first secondary video stream, detecting a second target of interest using the analysis results, automatically adapting the first secondary video stream from the primary video stream to capture a portion of the first and second targets of interest, tracking the second target of interest, and displaying the first secondary stream including the portion of the first and second targets of interest.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for monitoring a point of sale (POS) transaction. Operations performed by the methods and systems include generating POS primitives by processing non-video data of a transaction recorded at POS terminal. The operations also include generating video primitives by processing video data of the transaction recorded at the POS terminal. The operations further include determining that the transaction comprises an exceptional transaction by comparing the non-video data and/or the video data to exceptional transaction rules. Additionally, the operations include determining that the exceptional transaction comprises a verified exceptional transaction by generating a video event based on the video primitives and a corresponding video rule.

Abstract: A video surveillance system is set up, calibrated, tasked, and operated. The system extracts video primitives and extracts even occurrences from the video primitives using event discriminators. The extracted video primitives and event occurrences may be used to create and define additional video analytic rules. The system can undertake a response, such as an alarm, based on extracted event occurrences.

Abstract: A method to determine a base focal length of a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera system. The method includes generating a spherical mosaic with a feature track by the camera system and determining, by the camera system, a base focal length by analyzing a conic trajectory created by the feature track on an image plane.

Abstract: The automatic generation of one or more secondary video streams based on an input primary video stream may use analytics performed on the video to provide information on targets, events, and/or areas of interest to permit the one or more secondary video streams to concentrate on one or more targets, events and/or areas of interest.

Abstract: A content analysis engine receives video input and performs analysis of the video input to produce one or more gross change primitives. A view engine coupled to the content analysis engine receives the one or more gross change primitives from the content analysis engine and provides view identification information. A rules engine coupled to the view engine receives the view identification information from the view engine and provides one or more rules based on the view identification information. An inference engine performs video analysis based on the one or more rules provided by the rules engine and the one or more gross change primitives.
