Abstract: A digital image capture device streams captured images (e.g. low-resolution images) to a remote viewer terminal, along with image identifiers and/or device position information. The remote viewer terminal displays the images for viewing by a remote viewer. The remote viewer provides inputs to a user interface, which indicate a direction of desired movement of the image capture device, and/or that the remote viewer wants new images (e.g. high-resolution images) to be captured at a desired position. The user interface inputs are translated into requests, which are transmitted to the image capture device. The image capture device provides movement prompts that direct a device operator to move the device in a requested direction or toward a requested position. When a position of the device corresponds to a requested image capture position, the image capture device captures one or more new images, and transmits the new images.

Abstract: A communication system is provided that analyzes event-related media by correlating various media content based on the media being time-wise proximate to each other. Thereby, the communication system provides an informational tool for law enforcement agencies to correlate different media that all relate to a same event, such as subject matter media with related discussion media. For example, the subject matter media may comprise video, video stills, biometrics, sensor data, Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) data, pictures, BOLO (Be On the LookOut) bulletins, and the like, while the related discussion media may comprise Push-to-Talk talkbursts, telephone conversations, Instant Messaging (IM), emails, and other forms of discussion media. By correlating such media, the communication system facilitates event or incident reconstruction by providing related media together when providing event or incident playback.

Abstract: Multiple cameras are operatively connected over a shared link to a video server on a video network. The cameras are operated to capture a plurality of video streams. Each video stream has intra-frames and predictive frames that are sequentially generated timewise apart. A number of the video streams that transmit over the shared link on the network is identified. A number of intra-frames that are generated substantially simultaneously in the identified video streams is also identified. The identified intra-frames in the video streams are offset in time to minimize video artifacts from being present in the video streams being transmitted over the shared link.

Abstract: Embodiments include apparatus and methods to compensate for overshoot of a desired field of vision (FOV) by a remotely-controlled image capture device. The image capture device produces images associated with a plurality of FOVs, and transmits the images to a remote viewer terminal along with image identifiers (or FOV definitions for the images). The terminal receives and displays the images to a viewer. In response to viewer indications to pan or stop panning, the terminal sends pan and regress commands, respectively, to the image capture device. A regress command includes a reference to a selected FOV (e.g., an image identifier or an FOV definition). In response to receiving a regress command, the image capture device regresses to the selected FOV, and transmits additional images associated with the selected FOV to the terminal. The system also may include an intermediary device, which performs some of the functions associated with overshoot compensation.

Abstract: An embodiment takes the form of a process that includes transmitting video frames to a receiving device during a first transmission period of one or more time slots of a half-duplex air interface, and receiving feedback messaging from the receiving device during a feedback period of one or more time slots of the half-duplex air interface. The process further includes suspending, after the first transmission period, transmission of video frames for a suspension period of one or more time slots of the half-duplex air interface, and after the feedback period and after the suspension period, transmitting one or more recovery frames to the receiving device during a recovery period of one or more time slots of the half-duplex air interface. The one or more recovery frames collectively include inter-coded macroblock data and/or intra-coded macroblock data.
