This invention provides a system and method that employs reduction in bandwidth and the amount of data stored, along with queuing of data, so that the significant and/or relevant shipboard visual information is detected and communicated continuously from the ship (or other remote vehicle/location) to shore without loss of useful/high-priority information and within the available bandwidth of that typical, available satellite link. The system and method supports remote configuration and management from shore to the ship over the same communications channel but in the reverse direction. The system and method further facilitates the logical summarization of continuous visibility into shipboard activities, shipboard behavior, and shipboard status so that a land/shore-based manager/reviewer/auditor can review, comprehend and synthesize such information, at a glance, using a land-based user interface/dashboard, related to events that have recently transpired on the sailing commercial merchant vessel without the need to review hours/days/weeks of multiple channels of video.
A system for storage and bandwidth reduction of visual events in association with an activity comprising:
A user interface operated by a base location processor located at a base location and receiving visual events over a communication channel from a remote, moving or stationary object, in which the object includes at least one visual event detector having at least one camera that acquires images of an activity, at least one object processor receiving the images and a visual event detection process operating at least in part on the object processor that processes the images and a communications process that enables the communication channel adapted to transmit stored visual events in queued format to the base location, the user interface at the base location comprising:
A method for storage and bandwidth reduction of visual events in association with an activity comprising the steps of:
