Method, device and computer program product for demultiplexing of video images
First Claim
1. A method for demultiplexing time-division multiplexed digital video data which originates from multiple sources, the method comprising:
- retrieving a first set of digital video data representative of a first image from the time-division multiplexed digital video data;
storing the first set of digital video data to a memory location associated with a first source such that the first set of digital video data is representative digital video data of the first source;
retrieving a current set of digital video data representative of a current image;
calculating a difference ratio using the representative digital video data and the current set of digital video data; and
if the difference ratio is above a threshold, producing a display query requiring response for classifying the current digital video data as belonging to an identified source or originating from a new source, wherein the first source is an identified source.

Abstract
A method for demultiplexing time-division multiplexed digital video data which originates from multiple sources. The video data is not indexed nor identified to the sources. A first set of digital video data representative of a first image is identified as representative video data of the first source. A second set of digital video data representative of a current image is then retrieved. A difference ratio is calculated using the representative digital video data and the current set of digital video data. If the difference ratio is above a threshold, a display query is prompted to a user to indicate the source. If the response is indicative with a new source, the current set of digital video data is stored to a second memory location associated with the second source and identified as a representative of the second source.
