First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of video object feature data generation, comprising:
- (a) extracting a first set of features from a moving object detected in a sequence of images;
(b) extracting a sequence of grid blocks corresponding to motion of said object in said sequence of images; and
(c) storing said first set of features and said sequence of grid blocks.

Abstract
Automatic vision system object indexing and image database query system using both path-dependent and path-independent features of moving objects within a sequence of images. Feature vectors of both average over frames of an object traversing the field of view plus average over blocks of a grid for a path association. Color histograms may be an included feature.

5. A method of searching for a video object, comprising:
-
(a) providing a database of feature vectors of video objects;
(b) providing a target feature vector;
(c) comparing said target feature vector to each feature vector of said database;
(d) ranking said feature vectors of said database according to the results of step (c); and
(e) finding video objects by an association of video objects with said feature vectors of said database together with the results of step (d). - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
