Abstract: A system and method for generating compressed video with geographically-anchored-video functionality includes processing frames from a source video sequence by matching image content of the frames to image data from a geographic database to derive the geographic locations of pixels within at least part of the frames. The source video sequence is then compressed by a lossy video compression technique to generate a compressed video sequence, and the compressed video sequence is encoded together with data indicative of the geographic locations of pixels as a composite data stream. Also disclosed are methods for selective video archiving and retrieval based on the geographical footprint of the image content.

Abstract: System for simulating sub-systems of a tested system includes: (a) a sequence diagram storage defining the intercommunication of messages between various sub-systems of a real system; (b) an indicator for the sequence diagram those missing sub-systems, which have to be simulated; (c) a receiver within the sequence diagram for receiving activation signal for the sequence diagram, and for maintaining only those messages relating to missing sub-systems. The system also includes (d) one or more simulated sub-system units, each containing a domain of predefined output and input messages; and (e) a real time engine for activating said sequence diagram, receiving messages relating to missing sub-systems from the simulated sub-systems units, introducing in real time the received messages on a bus leading to the real sub-systems, and receiving messages issued by the real sub-systems and conveying them in real time to the simulated sub-system units.

Abstract: System for simulating one or more sub-systems of a tested system includes: (a) a sequence diagram storage and engine unit containing a predefined sequence diagram defining the intercommunication of messages between the various sub-systems of a real system in terms of at least time, message name, issuing sub-system, and destination sub-system. An indicator indicates to said sequence diagram storage and engine unit, those missing sub-systems, which have to be simulated. A receiver within said sequence diagram storage and engine unit receives an activation signal for the sequence diagram, and for eliminating all those messages in the sequence diagram relating to non-missing sub-systems, while maintaining those messages relating to missing sub-systems.
