US 2021/0344837 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENCODING REGIONS CONTAINING AN ELEMENT OF INTEREST IN A SEQUENCE OF IMAGES WITH A HIGH RESOLUTION

Abstract

Systems and methods for encoding regions containing an element of interest in a sequence of images with a high resolution are provided. Such systems and methods can include a camera that can capture the sequence of images of a monitored region, a detection processor that can identify a first region that contains an element of interest within the sequence of images, and an encoder that can encode the first region within a first subset of the sequence of images with a first resolution and encode a second region within the first subset of the sequence of images outside of the first region with a second resolution that is less than the first resolution, wherein a number of the sequence of images in the first subset of the sequence of images is less than all of the sequence of images and is based on a predefined parameter.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a camera that captures a sequence of images of a monitored region;
a detection processor that identifies a first region that contains a first element of interest within the sequence of images;
and
an encoder that encodes the first region within a first subset of the sequence of images with a first resolution and encodes a second region within the first subset of the sequence of images outside of the first region with a second resolution that is less than the first resolution,
wherein a number of the sequence of images in the first subset of the sequence of images is less than all of the sequence of images and is based on a predefined parameter.
