Patent number: 10127452Abstract: The filtering tasks that are conventionally applied in a video monitoring application, to distinguish images that may be relevant to the application, are distributed to the image source, or near-source devices. Source devices, such as cameras and playback devices, and near-source devices, such as video concentrators and streaming devices, are configured to include video processing tools that can be used to pre-filter the image data to identify frames or segments of frames that include image information that is likely to be relevant to the receiving video monitoring application. In this manner, the receiving processor need not spend time and resources processing images that are pre-determined to be irrelevant to the receiving application.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2015Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Tomas Brodsky, Mi-Suen Lee, Carolyn Christine Ramsey, Yun-Ting Lin

Patent number: 9942521Abstract: There is disclosed herein a system for automatic configuration of cameras in a Building Information Model (BIM) comprising a programmed BIM processing system. A plurality of input ports are distributed at select locations in the building. A database stores a network location map identifying locations of the input ports. The BIM processing system is operated to detect a camera connected to one of the input ports and reading camera image data; determine possible building areas in the camera's field of view based on location of the one of the input ports and extracting features from the stored building models for the determined possible building areas, and establishing mapping between the camera image data and the extracted features to determine actual location of the camera in the building and store camera location data in the database.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2012Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Mi Suen Lee, Paul Popowski
