Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining image information about a scene, the image information comprising an image sequence including a plurality of images of the scene;
processing the image information to detect an object in the scene;
processing the object to determine if the object is a target;
locating the target in the images in the image sequence;
determining a classification for the target based on the image information;
generating statistics about each image in the image sequence based on an appearance of the target in that respective image and the classification of the target;
determining at least one image in the image sequence that indicates identifying information for the target based on the classification of the target and the statistics to obtain a best shot image; and
storing the best shot image.

Abstract
A video surveillance system comprises a first sensing unit; a second sensing unit; and a communication medium connecting the first sensing unit and the second sensing unit. The first sensing unit provides information about a position of a target to the second sensing unit via the communication medium, and the second sensing unit uses the position information to locate the target.

28. A video sensing system, comprising:
-
a sensor device obtaining image information about a scene, the image information comprising an image sequence including a plurality of images of the scene;
a segmentation module processing the image information and detecting an object in the scene;
a target tracker module processing the object to determine if the object is a target;
a classification module determining a classification for the target based on the image information; and
a vision module generating statistics about each image in the image sequence based on an appearance of the target in that respective image and the classification of the target and determining at least one image in the image sequence that indicates identifying information for the target based on the classification of the target and the statistics to obtain a best shot image. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)
