Abstract
Computer-implemented systems and methods for video content analysis are described herein. A video feed comprising at least one image captured by a camera is received. The at least one image has a plurality of regions associated with a different level of precision required for each region. An adjustable image processing algorithm is applied to each region of the at least one image to obtain for each region the different level of precision. The image processing algorithm is adjusted based of the different level of precision associated with each region. Meta data indicative of content of the video feed is generating by the image processing algorithm.
Claims25
A computer-implemented method for video content analysis, the method comprising:
- receiving a video feed comprising at least one image captured by a camera, the at least one image having a plurality of regions, each region of the plurality of regions associated with a different level of precision to be obtained by an adjustable image processing algorithm;
- applying the adjustable image processing algorithm to each region of the at least one image by performing a plurality of processing steps on the at least one image to obtain for each region the different level of precision, each processing step of the plurality of processing steps comprises processing a selected area of the at least one image corresponding to one or more of the regions, the adjustable image processing algorithm adjusting at least some of the plurality of processing steps by reducing the selected area for processing by removing at least one of the regions from the selected area and increasing a corresponding level of precision for processing;
- and
- generating, by the adjustable image processing algorithm, meta data indicative of content of the video feed.
A system for video content analysis, the system comprising:
- at least one processing unit;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable memory having stored thereon program instructions executable by the at least one processing unit for:
- receiving a video feed comprising at least one image captured by a camera, the at least one image having a plurality of regions, each region of the plurality of regions associated with a different level of precision to be obtained by an adjustable image processing algorithm;
- applying the adjustable image processing algorithm to each region of the at least one image by performing a plurality of processing steps on the at least one image to obtain for each region the different level of precision, each region each processing step of the plurality of processing steps comprises processing a selected area of the at least one image corresponding to one or more of the regions, the adjustable image processing algorithm adjusting at least some of the plurality of processing steps by reducing the selected area for processing by removing at least one of the regions from the selected area and increasing a corresponding level of precision for processing;
- and
- generating, by the adjustable image processing algorithm, meta data indicative of content of the video feed.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon program code executable by a processor for video content analysis, the program code comprising instructions for:
- receiving a video feed comprising at least one image captured by a camera, the at least one image having a plurality of regions, each region of the plurality of regions associated with a different level of precision to be obtained by an adjustable image processing algorithm;
- applying the adjustable image processing algorithm to each region of the at least one image by performing a plurality of processing steps on the at least one image to obtain for each region the different level of precision, each processing step of the plurality of processing steps comprises processing a selected area of the at least one image corresponding to one or more of the regions, the adjustable image processing algorithm adjusting at least some of the plurality of processing steps by reducing the selected area for processing by removing at least one of the regions from the selected area and increasing a corresponding level of precision for processing;
- and
- generating, by the adjustable image processing algorithm, meta data indicative of content of the video feed.
