Directed attention digital video recordation
First Claim
1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
- receive a sequence of video images of a scene having a first resolution;
determine from content of the sequence of video images a presence of a target of interest within a portion of the scene during a time period;
send a signal associated with an instruction to record a snapshot image of the portion of the scene during the time period;
receive the snapshot image of the portion of the scene, the snapshot image having a second resolution greater than the first resolution; and
link the snapshot image to (1) a location of the portion of the scene within the sequence of video images and (2) the time period within the sequence of video images.

Abstract
Some embodiments include incorporating detailed snapshots of targeted areas of interest into a video or digitized recording of an overall scene. In some embodiments, a single fixed high-resolution scene camera or a fixed standard resolution scene camera of analog or IP connected type is used. The scene camera can be co-located with at least one pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera or used in a mode where less than full resolution of the scene camera is used for video but full resolution snapshots of areas are captured by the same camera. The area of interest is selected by the object-tracking feature of an intelligent video system, operated without human intervention, by electronically-implemented identification of the existence of area-specific subjects or targets of interest in the scene image field.

1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
-
receive a sequence of video images of a scene having a first resolution; determine from content of the sequence of video images a presence of a target of interest within a portion of the scene during a time period; send a signal associated with an instruction to record a snapshot image of the portion of the scene during the time period; receive the snapshot image of the portion of the scene, the snapshot image having a second resolution greater than the first resolution; and link the snapshot image to (1) a location of the portion of the scene within the sequence of video images and (2) the time period within the sequence of video images. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
-
receive a sequence of video images of a scene having a first resolution; determine from content of the sequence of video images a presence of a target of interest within a portion of the scene; and send a signal associated with an instruction to record a plurality of snapshot images of the portion of the scene at a second resolution greater than the first resolution, the signal including a parameter associated with a ratio of a number of snapshot images of the plurality of snapshot images to include a specific portion of the target of interest to those not to include the specific portion of the target of interest. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
-
receive a sequence of video images of a scene having a first resolution; determine from content of the sequence of video images a presence of a target of interest within a portion of the scene; determine from the content of the sequence of video images an event associated with the target of interest; and send a signal associated with an instruction to record a plurality of snapshot images of the portion of the scene at a second resolution greater than the first resolution, a rate of recording the plurality of snapshot images being based at least in part on an event type associated with the event. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
