Distributed MPEG-7 based surveillance servers for digital surveillance applications
First Claim
1. A distributed surveillance platform system, comprising:
- a database manager implementing a database process that manages metadata and predefined descriptors of surveillance video clips, including;
(a) sending the metadata to a database engine that handles storage of data into and retrieval of data from a relational database management system; and
(b) one or more of mapping and converting the predefined descriptors into schema of a relational database; and
a search manager handling an archive video search process, wherein a master server provides unified interfaces for video search requests that can be processed concurrently among slave servers; and
an update manager allowing new modules to be added into one or more of the master server and one or more slave servers, including modules defining one or more of new description schema definitions, new metadata processing procedures, and new search processing procedures, thereby modifying one or more procedures performed by one or more of said database manager and said search manager.

Abstract
Distributed MPEG-7 based Surveillance Servers for Digital Surveillance Applications (DM7SS), provides a distributed MPEG-7 compliant surveillance system platform that can provide flexible and extensible indexing and searching mechanisms based on MPEG-7 standards and technologies for distributed digital surveillance systems. A database manager implements a database process to manage metadata and predefined descriptors of surveillance video clips by sending the metadata to a database engine that handles storage of data into and retrieval of data from a relational database management system, and mapping or converting the predefined descriptors into schema of a relational database. A search manager handles an archive video search process, wherein a master server provides unified interfaces for video search requests that can be processed concurrently among slave servers. An update manager allows new modules to be added to a server, such as new description schema definitions, new metadata processing procedures, and new search processing procedures.
