Object selective video recording
First Claim
1. A system for selective video recording, comprising:
- a video camera that provides output video;
a video separator that separates the output video into object video including one or more objects and background video against which the one or more objects appear;
a video analysis module that respectively identifies each of the one or more objects as a predetermined type of object by tracking each of the one or more objects over two or more video frames; and
a storage control module that independently stores the object video and background video, an object from the one or more objects being associated with an image header having an indication that the object is one of several predetermined types of objects, the image header having coordinate data associated with a position of the object in relation to the background video, the background video being associated with an image header having an indication that the background video is a background video,wherein each of the one or more objects is recorded at a respective frame rate corresponding to the predetermined type of object identified by the video analysis module.

Abstract
An object selective video analysis and recordation system in which one or more video cameras provide video output to be recorded in a useful form on recording media with reduction of the amount of the recording media, with preservation of intelligence content of the output. Video output is both background video and object video, as images of objects appearing against a background scene. Preset knowledge of symbolic categories of objects in the scene and analysis of object attributes is provided by the system. Spatial resolution and temporal resolution of objects in the scene are automatically varied in accordance with preset criteria based on predetermined interest in the object attributes while recording the background video and object video. A user of the system may query recorded video images by content, enabling the user to recall recorded data according to symbolic content, by requesting data with specified symbolic content.
