  • Video scene background maintenance using change detection and classification
    Patent number: 6999600
    Abstract: Video is processed by maintaining a background model for the video, detecting a target in the video, detecting if the target is a stationary target, and classifying the stationary target as an insertion in the background model or a removal from the background model.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 30, 2003
    Date of Patent: February 14, 2006
    Assignee: Objectvideo, Inc.
    Inventors: Peter L. Venetianer, Alan J. Lipton, Andrew J. Chosak, Niels Haering, Zhong Zhang
  • Video scene background maintenance using statistical pixel modeling
    Patent number: 6987883
    Abstract: A method for video background scene maintenance uses statistical pixel modeling. A background statistical model is built based on the input video. A background image may be built based on the background statistical model, or video segmentation into foreground and background may be carried out based on the background statistical model.
    Type: Grant

  • Video tripwire
    Patent number: 6970083
    Abstract: A video tripwire system may enable a user to enter a video tripwire by drawing it on a video image or on a snapshot from a video stream. This drawing may be enabled by a graphical user interface.

  • Video tripwire
    Patent number: 6696945
    Abstract: A method for implementing a video tripwire includes steps of calibrating a sensing device to determine sensing device parameters for use by the system; initializing the system, including entering at least one virtual tripwire; obtaining data from the sensing device; analyzing the data obtained from the sensing device to determine if the at least one virtual tripwire has been crossed; and triggering a response to a virtual tripwire crossing.
