Abstract: A system and method for searching a video stream collected by a camera in a video surveillance system for an object's placement or displacement is disclosed. The searching includes an interactive question/answer approach that allows for a video snippet including the object's placement or displacement to be found quickly without the need for complicated video analytics. During the search, frames from algorithmically selected points in the video stream are presented to a user for review. The user reviews each frame and indicates if he/she sees the object. Based on the user's response the searching algorithmically reduces the portion video stream that is searched until a snippet of a video is found that includes the object's placement or displacement.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring an area with a variety of different-type sensors to obtain records that are related to create profiles are disclosed. The created profiles reveal relationships between sensed data items from the surveillance network. The profiles may be updated over time to edit, refine, and expand the understanding of these relationships. In addition, “normal” behaviors for profiles and/or relationships between profiles may be established and monitored.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) for video management software controlling a video surveillance system typically provides a user with a large range of viewing options. A user must interact with a variety of GUI controls to view video in a particular way. These interactions are time consuming and may be aggravating to a user, especially when the user routinely views video in a particular way. The present disclosure embraces a GUI in which camera icons may be dragged and/or dragged-and-dropped in drop areas to execute scripts enabling various viewing and camera-control operations.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for matching trajectories across disjointed video views. In a particular embodiment, a method provides identifying a first trajectory associated with an object in video captured of a first region. The method further provides identifying a plurality of alternative views of the object from the video of the first region. The method further provides generating additional views for inclusion in the plurality of alternative views by copying and horizontally flipping at least one view of the plurality of alternative views. The method further provides using the plurality of alternative views of the object, selecting a second trajectory that corresponds to the first trajectory from a plurality of trajectories associated with a plurality of objects in video captured of a second region.

Abstract: A system and method for the capture and storage of data relating to the movements of objects, in a specified area and enables this data to be displayed in a graphically meaningful and useful manner. Video data is collected and video metadata is generated relating to objects (persons) appearing in the video data and their movements over time. The movements of the objects are then analyzed to detect the movements within a region of interest. This detection of movement allows a user, such as a manager of a store, to make informed decisions as to the infrastructure and operation of the store. One detection method relates to the number of people that are present in a region of interest for a specified time period. A second detection method relates to the number of people that remain or dwell in a particular area for a particular time period. A third detection method determines the flow of people and the direction they take within a region of interest.
