Event packaged video sequence
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method of event-packaging a video sequence, comprising the steps of:
- acquiring a video stream containing an event of interest and providing the acquired video stream to a video processing system;
the video processing system extracting event information from the video stream and storing one or more event parameters within an event database;
the video processing system detecting a user-defined event from the video stream;
the video processing system extracting a video clip from the video stream containing the event of interest;
the video processing system associating metadata representing the event parameters with the extracted video clip; and
the video processing system exporting the video clip containing the event of interest and the associated metadata to an external agent.

Abstract
Methods and systems for packaging video sequences based on user-specified events are described herein. An illustrative method of event-packaging a video sequence may include the steps of acquiring a video stream containing an event of interest, extracting various event information from the video stream and storing one or more event parameters within an event database, extracting a video clip from the video stream containing the event of interest, associating metadata representing the event parameters to the video clip, and exporting the video clip containing the event of interest and associated metadata to an external agent. In certain embodiments, a video image-processing appliance manager and/or one or more appliance modules can be provided to automatically extract event information from the acquired video stream, and to manage the indexing and storage of event parameters within the event database. A graphical user interface may also be provided to permit the event information extracted from the video stream to be compared against a set of user-specified event parameters.
