Abstract: Multiple coprocessor scheduling of parallel processing steps control with bit arithmetic using a bitmask for each data block buffer indicating next processing step and a bitmask of processing steps with available coprocessors. ANDs of the bitmasks for the buffers with the bitmask of processing steps determines processing steps to run. This allows for parallel processing on the data blocks in the various buffers.

Abstract: A video surveillance system that implements object detection and event recognition employing smart monitoring algorithms to analyze a video stream and recognize the interaction of people with cars. The system forms a reference image consisting of the background of the scene viewed by the video camera. The system forms a foreground difference image between the current image and an updated reference image including any stationary cars. The system detects any objects other than any stationary car in the scene. The updated reference image is formed by forming a background difference image between the current image and the reference image. Any detected object is examined to determine if it is a car object. Upon initial detection of a stationary car object, the system forms a reference car image of a portion of the current image corresponding to the position of the stationary car.
