Patent Images
1. A method for processing image data, the method comprising:
- obtaining at least one processing zone for processing digital data obtained from one or more digital capture devices, wherein the at least one processing zone corresponds to a specific geometry;
obtaining a first frame of image data corresponding to one of the digital capture devices;
obtaining a second frame of image data corresponding to the digital capture device;
determining whether there is significant change between the first and second frames within the at least one processing zone, wherein the determination of significant change is made by evaluating differential data corresponding to an adjustable parameter; and
processing an event if a significant change is determined.

Abstract
A system and method for processing digital images are provided. A control server obtains digital images from one or more digital capture devices. The digital images can be processed to detect an event, such as movement. Additionally, user-defined zones may be further utilized to exclude specific areas or limit processing to specific areas.

38. In a computer system having a graphic user interface including a display and a user interface device, a method for processing image data, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a first frame of image data corresponding to an output from a digital capture device;
displaying the first frame of data within a display area in the graphical user interface;
obtaining a designation of at least one processing zone from the user interface device, wherein the processing zone corresponds to a specific geometric shape within the display area and includes processing rule data;
