Abstract: An object recognition enabled, for example facial recognition enabled, video surveillance system for capturing video of a scene and allowing recognition of objects within that scene. The system comprises at least one camera apparatus connected via a communication channel to a central server with the camera apparatus arranged for capturing visual representation data of a scene. The visual representation data comprises video of the scene and the camera apparatus comprises a camera for capturing said video and a video encoder for sending corresponding video data via the communication channel to the central server. The camera apparatus is further arranged for generating object recognition data based on said visual representation data, and the video encoder is arranged to send said object recognition data along with the video data via the communication channel.

Abstract: A data compression system using vector quantization utilises a codebook or index tables constructed by finding a small set of points in an n-dimensional space which are representative of a much larger population. The space is partitioned such that the integrals of the probability density functions over all the subspaces are approximately equal and thereafter the centre of gravity of each subspace is taken to represent the subspace population. The partitioning is effected sequentially to map n-dimensional space into one dimensional code space.
