Abstract: An event of interest may be tracked using a distributed intelligence video surveillance system. The distributed intelligence video surveillance system includes a lead video camera and a plurality of child video cameras that are configured to communicate with the lead video camera. One of the plurality of child video cameras may receive a video image and perform analytics and event generation for any events of interest found within the video image. The child video camera extracts metadata for any found events of interest and communicates the extracted metadata to the lead video camera. The lead video camera communicates the extracted metadata to others of the plurality of child video cameras so that the others of the plurality of child video cameras can be alerted to track the found events of interest.

Abstract: A contact tracing system and method identifies which persons at a facility may have been exposed to a possibly contagious person. In some examples, multiple sensors, such as access card readers and cameras with video and thermographic imaging, monitor individuals at the facility. For each person, the system collects data pertaining to an individual's location and/or temperature at discrete points in time. In addition to collecting data throughout the day, data is also collected over an extended period of days or weeks. Based on data recorded during the extended periods, the system determines each person's typical schedule and travel pattern through the facility. When one or more sensors detect a possibly contagious person by sensing a fever, or even a gradually rising body temperature, the system searches for person's whose typical schedule and travel patterns overlap with those of the contagious person. The system then automatically notifies people accordingly.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting the frame rate of transmitted video based on the level of motion in the video are provided. Some methods can include receiving a video data stream from a video capture device at a first frame rate, identifying a level of motion in one or more frames of the video data stream at a regular interval, identifying a plurality of second frame rates for the video data stream, and transmitting the video data stream to a storage device or a display device at respective ones of the plurality of second frame rates, wherein each of the plurality of second frame rates can correspond to the level of motion in a respective frame of the video data stream.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive streaming using JPEG 2000 are provided. Some systems can include a video source, a server device, and a client device in communication with the server device via a communication channel, wherein the server device receives a video data stream from a video source, wherein the server device converts the video data stream into a plurality of image layers, wherein the server device stores each of the plurality of image layers, wherein the client device transmits a request for the video data stream to the server device, and wherein the server device transmits at least one of the plurality of image layers to the client device based on a bandwidth available in the communication channel with the client device.
