1. A computer readable medium embodying a set of instructions executable by a computer for determining one or more parameters of at least one of a plurality of function modules including at least one people-detection module, at least one object-detection module and at least one vehicle-detection module in a surveillance system, the set instructions comprising the steps of:

  • providing a plurality of scene characterizations including a plurality of people-image characterizations for the people-detection module, a plurality of object-image characterizations for the object-detection module and a plurality of vehicle-image characterizations for the vehicle-detection module to a user;

    receiving a selected characterization by the user;

    determining whether the selected characterization is a people-image characterization, an object-image characterization or a vehicle-image characterization;

    determining the one or more parameters based on the selected characterization; and

    communicating the one or more determined parameters to a corresponding function module according to the determined type of the selected characterization so as to cause the corresponding module to apply the one or more determined parameters to provide a corresponding functional effect based on the one or more determined parameters.
