Video structured descriptionvitalization techniques for the surveillance video data

Abstract

Video structured description was proposed for video surveillance system in this paper, and a prototype system was also introduced. As a novel video data vitalization technique, it employs knowledge model of certain surveillance scenario and image/video understanding to distill visual knowledge from video. Benefit from knowledge modeling, visual information distilled by the proposed method could be accessed by other information systems much easier than before. A technical overview was given and some key characteristics were also discussed. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
