Patent number: 11594031Abstract: A system and method to automatically generate a secondary video stream based on an incoming primary video stream. The method including performing video analytics on the primary video stream to generate one or more analysis results, detecting the first target of interest using the analysis results, automatically extracting a first secondary video stream that captures at least a portion of a first target of interest and has a field of view smaller than that of the primary video stream, tracking the first target of interest, displaying the first secondary video stream, detecting a second target of interest using the analysis results, automatically adapting the first secondary video stream from the primary video stream to capture a portion of the first and second targets of interest, tracking the second target of interest, and displaying the first secondary stream including the portion of the first and second targets of interest.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: AVIGILON FORTRESS CORPORATIONInventors: W.

Patent number: 9158975Abstract: A system for video monitoring a retail business process includes a video analytics engine to process video obtained by a video camera and generate video primitives regarding the video, A user interface is used to define at least one activity of interest regarding an area being viewed, each activity of interest identifying at least one of a rule or a query regarding the area being viewed. An activity inference engine processes the generated video primitives based on each defined activity of interest to determine if an activity of interest occurred in the video.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2007Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: Avigilon Fortress CorporationInventors: Alan J.

Publication number: 20130063556Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating depth estimates for pixels, in a series of images captured by a single camera, that correspond to the static objects. The techniques involve identifying occlusion events in the series of images. The occlusion events are events in which dynamic blobs are at least partially occluded, by static objects, from view of the camera. The depth estimates for pixels of the static objects are generated based on the occlusion events and depth estimates associated with the dynamic blobs. Techniques are also provided for generating the depth estimates associated with the dynamic blobs. The depth estimates for the dynamic blobs are generated based on how far down, within at least one image, the lowest point of the dynamic blob is located.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2012Publication date: March 14, 2013Applicant: PRISM SKYLABS, INC.Inventors: Steve Russell, Ron Palmeri, Robert Cutting, Doug Johnston, Mike Fogel, Robert Cosgriff
