Media asset management system for managing video segments from an aerial sensor platform and associated method
First Claim
1. A method for managing video segments from an aerial sensor platform using a media asset management system comprising:
- collecting the video segments from the aerial sensor platform;
associating corresponding geospatial data with each video segment;
creating a search thesaurus comprising a plurality of search descriptors with cross-references therebetween;
associating at least one respective search descriptor from the search thesaurus with each video segment; and
storing each video segment, its geospatial data and its at least one search descriptor on the media asset management system for later search and retrieval.

Abstract
A method for managing video segments from an aerial sensor platform using a media asset management system includes collecting the video segments from the aerial sensor platform, associating corresponding geospatial data with each video segment, and creating a search thesaurus including search descriptors with cross-references therebetween. At least one respective search descriptor from the search thesaurus is associated with each video segment. The method further includes storing each video segment, its geospatial data and its at least one search descriptor on the media asset management system for later search and retrieval, such as by a surveillance organization. The search descriptors may be geospatial search descriptors that are cross-referenced in a hierarchical relationship.

19. A method for searching and retrieving video segments from an aerial sensor platform stored on a media asset management system, the media asset management system also having stored thereon a geospatial search thesaurus comprising a plurality of geospatial search descriptors with cross-references therebetween, and each video segment having corresponding geospatial data associated therewith and also having at least one respective geospatial search descriptor from the geospatial search thesaurus associated therewith, the method comprising:
-
generating at least one user search query, the at least one user search query including geospatial data;
comparing the at least one user search query with the geospatial search thesaurus for identifying at least one additional search query;
searching the video segments based upon the at least one user search query and the at least one additional search query; and
retrieving at least one video segment based upon the search. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A media asset management system for video segments from an aerial sensor platform comprising:
-
a media interface for collecting video segments from the aerial sensor platform, each video segment having corresponding geospatial data associated therewith;
a memory for storing a search thesaurus comprising a plurality of search descriptors with cross-references therebetween;
a processor for associating each video segment with at least one respective search descriptor from the search thesaurus; and
a database for storing each video segment, its geospatial data and its at least one search descriptor for later search and retrieval by a surveillance organization. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)

47. A media asset management system for video segments from an aerial sensor platform comprising:
-
a memory for storing a geospatial search thesaurus comprising a plurality of search descriptors with cross-references therebetween;
a database for storing video segments from the aerial sensor platform, each video segment having corresponding geospatial data associated therewith and also having at least one geospatial search descriptor from the geospatial search thesaurus associated therewith;
a user input interface for permitting a user to generate at least one user search query, the at least one user search query including geospatial data;
a processor for comparing the at least one user search query with the geospatial search thesaurus for identifying at least one additional search query, and searching the video segments based upon the at least one user search query and the at least one additional search query; and
a display for displaying at least one retrieved video segment. - View Dependent Claims (48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60)
