Patent number: 9936170Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2015Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: AVIGILON FORTRESS CORPORATIONInventors: Weihong Yin, Andrew J. Chosak, John I. W. Clark, Geoffrey Egnal, Matthew F. Frazier, Niels Haering, Alan J. Lipton, Donald G. Madden, Michael C. Mannebach, Gary W. Myers, James S. Sfekas, Peter L. Venetianer, Zhong Zhang
