Abstract
Provided is a method and system including at least one imaging device disposed within an area to be monitored, and configured to capture one or more images and video segments of the area; a computing device in communication with the imaging device, that transmits and receive data to and from the at least one imaging device, performs video analytics to detect objects, compares between different video segments (i.e., frames) and still images within a plurality of time lapse periods of the area to be monitored, and selects different video segments and still images to be captured of the area, by the at least one imaging device, and parameters to determine the video analytics to be performed, based on the results of the comparison.
Claims11
A system comprising:
- a plurality of imaging devices disposed within an area to be monitored, each imaging device of the plurality of imaging devices being operable to capture one or more images, video segments, or images and video segments of the area;
- a computing device integrated into a first imaging device of the plurality of imaging devices, the first imaging device in communication with each of the other imaging devices of the plurality of imaging devices, and the computing device including a processor configured to:
- access respective image data captured separately by each imaging device of the plurality of imaging devices;
- perform non-operational video analytics to detect objects in the respective image data;
- compare detected objects in the respective image data over predefined time lapse periods;
- based on results of the comparisons, determine parameters for respective configuration files for the plurality of imaging devices, each configuration file being for a respective imaging device of the plurality of imaging devices and including parameters for performing at least one of adjusting a position of the respective imaging device to focus image capture on particular areas of interest, disabling a transfer of image data to the computing device, and modifying time periods of image capture;
- and
- direct communication of each of the configuration files to the respective imaging device of the plurality of imaging devices.
A method to automatically configure video analytics performance of a plurality of imaging devices disposed within an area to be monitored, the method comprising:
- accessing, by a processor integrated in a first imaging device of the plurality of imaging devices, respective image data captured by each imaging device of the plurality of imaging devices, the respective image data including one or more images, video segments, or images and video segments of the area to be monitored;
- performing non-operational video analytics, by the processor integrated in the first imaging device, to detect objects in the respective image data;
- comparing the detected objects within the respective image data over a plurality of time lapse periods;
- based on results of the comparisons, determining parameters for respective configuration files for the plurality of imaging devices, each configuration file being for a respective imaging device of the plurality of imaging devices and including parameters for performing at least one of adjusting a position of the respective imaging device to focus image capture on particular areas of interest, disabling a transfer of image data to the computing device, and modifying time periods of image capture;
- and
- communicating each of the configuration files to the respective imaging device of the plurality of imaging devices.
A device comprising:
- an imaging device arranged for deployment within an area to be monitored, the imaging device being operable to capture one or more images, video segments, or images and video segments of the area;
- a computing device communicatively coupled to the imaging device and arranged for communication with a plurality of other imaging devices, the computing device including a processor configured to:
- access respective image data captured separately by the imaging device and each of the plurality of other imaging devices;
- perform non-operational video analytics to detect objects in the respective image data;
- compare detected objects in the respective image data over predefined time lapse periods;
- and
- based on results of the comparisons, determine parameters for respective configuration files for the imaging device and the plurality of other imaging devices, each configuration file being for a respective imaging device and including parameters for performing at least one of adjusting a position of the respective imaging device to focus image capture on particular areas of interest, disabling a transfer of image data to the computing device, and modifying time periods of image capture.
