Method and/or apparatus for analyzing the content of a surveillance image
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- an input circuit configured to generate a first intermediate signal from a plurality of input video signals;
a content analyzer circuit configured to present one or more flags in response to said intermediate signal;
a storage circuit configured to (i) store and organize said first intermediate signal into a plurality of sequences each related to one of said input video signals and (ii) generate a second intermediate signal from said sequences; and
an output circuit configured to generate an output video signal in response to said second intermediate signal, wherein said output circuit is configured to embed tracking information into said output video signal in response to said one or more flags.

Abstract
An apparatus comprising an input circuit, a content analyzer, a storage circuit and an output circuit. The input circuit may be configured to generate a first intermediate signal from a plurality of input video signals. The content analyzer circuit may be configured to present one or more flags in response to the intermediate signal. The storage circuit may be configured to (i) store and organize the first intermediate signal into a plurality of sequences each related to one of the input video signals and (ii) generate a second intermediate signal from the sequences. The output circuit may be configured to generate an output video signal in response to the second intermediate signal. The output circuit may be configured to embed tracking information into the output video signal in response to the one or more flags.
