Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide approaches relating generally to selecting and arranging video data feeds for display on a display screen. Specifically, the invention provides for video surveillance systems that model and take advantage of determined spatial relationships among video camera positions to select relevant video data streams for presentation. The spatial relationships (e.g., a first camera being located directly around a corner from a second camera) can facilitate an intelligent selection and presentation of potential “next” cameras to which a tracked object may travel.
Claims20
A method for selecting video data feeds for display, the method comprising the computer-implemented steps of:
- determining a spatial relationship between each camera among a plurality of cameras in a camera network;
- presenting a primary video data feed from a first camera in the camera network in a primary video data pane;
- and
- selecting a secondary video data feed for display in a secondary video data pane based on at least one spatial relationship.
A system for selecting video data feeds for display, comprising:
- a memory medium comprising instructions;
- a bus coupled to the memory medium;
- and
- a processor coupled to the bus that when executing the instructions causes the system to:
- determine a spatial relationship between each camera among a plurality of cameras in a camera network;
- present a primary video data feed from a first camera in the camera network in a primary video data pane;
- and
- select a secondary video data feed for display in a secondary video data pane based on at least one spatial relationship.
A computer program product for selecting video data feeds for display, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage media, and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media, to:
- determine a spatial relationship between each camera among a plurality of cameras in a camera network;
- present a primary video data feed from a first camera in the camera network in a primary video data pane;
- and
- select a secondary video data feed for display in a secondary video data pane based on at least one spatial relationship.
