First Claim
Patent Images
1. A video processing apparatus comprising:
- a video content analysis module to analyze an input video sequence and to derive at least one video primitive;
an event inference module coupled to said video content analysis module to detect at least one event based on one or more rules; and
an application programming interface (API) framework coupled to said event inference module to permit a user to define rules for said event inference module.

Abstract
A video surveillance system extracts video primitives and extracts event occurrences from the video primitives using event discriminators. The system can undertake a response, such as an alarm, based on extracted event occurrences.

21. A method of video processing comprising:
-
creating at least one rule for detecting at least one activity in a video sequence based on at least one detected video primitive; and
detecting if there is said at least one activity in said video sequence based on said at least one rule. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
