Video analytic rule detection system and method
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An event detection method, comprising:
- receiving a user input to a video surveillance system to put the video surveillance system into a configuration mode;
during the configuration mode, processing a first video portion to track an object in the first video portion by the video surveillance system;
using, at least in part, the tracking of the object in the first video portion to define at least one of an area of interest and a tripwire to create a first rule;
configuring the video surveillance system to detect an event in a second video portion using the first rule; and
after exiting configuration mode, performing video surveillance to detect the event in the second video portion using the first rule.

Abstract
A video surveillance system is set up, calibrated, tasked, and operated. The system extracts video primitives and extracts even occurrences from the video primitives using event discriminators. The extracted video primitives and event occurrences may be used to create and define additional video analytic rules. The system can undertake a response, such as an alarm, based on extracted event occurrences.

1. An event detection method, comprising:
-
receiving a user input to a video surveillance system to put the video surveillance system into a configuration mode; during the configuration mode, processing a first video portion to track an object in the first video portion by the video surveillance system; using, at least in part, the tracking of the object in the first video portion to define at least one of an area of interest and a tripwire to create a first rule; configuring the video surveillance system to detect an event in a second video portion using the first rule; and after exiting configuration mode, performing video surveillance to detect the event in the second video portion using the first rule. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. An event detection method, comprising:
-
receiving a user input to a video surveillance system to put the video surveillance system into a configuration mode; during the configuration mode, tracking by the video surveillance system an object in a first video portion with an emitter; using, at least in part, the tracking of the object in the first video portion to define at least one of an area of interest and a tripwire to create a first rule; and configuring the video surveillance system to detect an event in a second video portion using the first rule; and after exiting configuration mode, performing video surveillance to detect the event in the second video portion using the first rule. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31)

32. A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
putting a video surveillance system into a configuration mode in response to receiving a user input; during the configuration mode, processing a first video portion to track an object in the first video portion; using, at least in part, the tracking of the object in the first video portion to define at least one of an area of interest and a tripwire to create a first rule; configuring the video surveillance system to detect an event in a second video portion using the first rule; and after exiting configuration mode, performing video surveillance to detect the event in the second video portion using the first rule.

33. An video surveillance system, comprising:
-
at least one video camera; a user interface; and a computer configured to receive a user input via the user interface to put the video surveillance system into a configuration mode, to process a first video portion to track an object in the first video portion during the configuration mode, to define at least one of an area of interest and a tripwire to create a first rule using, at least in part, the tracking of the object in the first video portion, to configure the video surveillance system to detect an event in a second video portion using the first rule, and, after exiting configuration mode, to perform video surveillance to detect the event in the second video portion using the first rule.
