Relevant image detection in a camera, recorder, or video streaming device
First Claim
1. A camera that includes:
- a video capture elements that is configured to provide a plurality of video images, a relevant image detector that is configured to;
receive the video images, and determine a relevancy of each image, based on one or more characteristics associated with target objects of a video monitoring application.

Abstract
The filtering tasks that are conventionally applied in a video monitoring application, to distinguish images that may be relevant to the application, are distributed to the image source, or near-source devices. Source devices, such as cameras and playback devices, and near-source devices, such as video concentrators and streaming devices, are configured to include video processing tools that can be used to pre-filter the image data to identify frames or segments of frames that include image information that is likely to be relevant to the receiving video monitoring application. In this manner, the receiving processor need not spend time and resources processing images that are pre-determined to be irrelevant to the receiving application.

41. A method including:
-
processing a plurality of images to identify a relevancy of each image based on characteristics associated with target objects of a video monitoring application, and communicating the plurality of images and the relevancy of each image to a remote video processing system that is configured to process the images of the plurality of images based on the relevancy of each image. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
