The present application describes a video processing request system that receives video files and synchronous task requests, converts the synchronous task requests into asynchronous task requests, provides the video files to various processing units in response to the conversion, and subsequently provides processed video files back to requesting computing devices in response to the received synchronous task requests.

The disclosed embodiments include a method for presenting video information. The method includes: (1) receiving user identification of a first spatial zone corresponding to a first portion of the field of view of a remote camera; (2) displaying a first outline in a first color for the first spatial zone overlaid on a visual image; (3) receiving second user identification of a second spatial zone corresponding to a second portion of the field of view of the remote camera; (4) displaying a second outline in a second color for the second spatial zone overlaid on the visual image; and (5) displaying a visual indicator indicating that motion was detected in at least one spatial zone, the visual indicator having a color corresponding to the spatial zone in which the motion was detected.

Method for monitoring for presence in a surveillance zone (ZS) using a surveillance system (SY), comprising the following steps: detecting an absence of movement or of at least one movement of at least one entity (E1, E2, En) in a detection zone (ZD); creating and/or modifying, in a memory of the surveillance device (Dl), a piece of movement information (IM); sending the movement information (IM) using the surveillance device (Dl) to a processing unit (UT) of the surveillance system (SY); detecting an absence or a presence of at least one terminal (T1, T2, T3, Tn) in a communication network (RI); creating and/or modifying, in a memory of a listening module (ME), a piece of presence information (IP); and sending the piece of presence information (IP), using the listening module (ME), to the processing unit (UT).

A first device is detected within a geofenced area of an establishment. A second device is determined to be within the geofenced area. A first individual associated with the first device is instructed to enter the establishment and complete a first portion of opening security procedures associated with an opening of the establishment. Upon completion of the first portion, a second individual associated with the second device is instructed to enter the establishment for a second portion of the opening security procedures. The first individual and the second individual are monitored through video feeds during the first portion and the second portion of the opening security procedures for compliance with the opening security procedures.

Embodiments for utilizing vehicles to investigate events are provided. Spatiotemporal information is received from each of a plurality of vehicles. Each of the plurality of vehicles includes an onboard sensor. Information associated with an event is received. At least some of the plurality of vehicles are selected based on the information associated with the event and the spatiotemporal information from each of a plurality of vehicles. A request is caused to be transmitted to each of the selected at least some of the plurality of vehicles for data detected by the respective onboard sensor.

A camera transmits a captured image of a surveillance area to a server. A microphone receives a sound of the surveillance area and transmits the sound to the server. The server detects a warning sound starting based on a harming behavior on a vehicle in a surveillance area and arriving from the vehicle using the sound of the surveillance area, determines an occurrence position of the harming behavior based on the detection of the warning sound, acquires a captured image of the occurrence position, determines the vehicle on which the harming behavior is executed using the captured image of the occurrence position, acquires information regarding the vehicle, and records the information regarding the vehicle and the captured image of the occurrence position in association with each other in an accumulator.

The invention relates to a method of processing a video, including: receiving a video of a scene being monitored; generating a second video, including one or more video frames, which non-photorealistically represents the scene being monitored; analysing at least the video of the scene being monitored to determine the presence of a threat within the scene; and in the event that a threat is detected within the scene, determining metadata in relation to the threat and representing said metadata in the second video.

A people-flow-estimation device includes a person-count-estimation unit for estimating the number of people included in a partial area of an image; a crowd-direction-estimation unit for estimating the direction of a crowd in the partial area; a movement-amount-estimation unit for estimating the amount of movement in the partial area; and a generation unit for extracting a partial area where people exist from a plurality of partial areas on the basis of the number of people and generating, on the basis of the number of people, the extracted partial area, and the direction and movement amount of a crowd associated with the partial area, people's flow information relating to a people's flow representing the flow of people in the partial area.

A computer-implemented method includes: determining, based on a video of a target area, a first number of target objects in the video at each of multiple time points, and a first location of each of the first number of target objects at the corresponding time points; receiving position signals of the corresponding target objects in the target area at each of the multiple time points; determining, based on the position signals, a second number of target objects at each of the multiple time points and a second location of each of the second number of target objects at the corresponding time points; determining that, at each of the multiple time points, the first number equals the second number; determining that, at each of the multiple time points, the first location of each target object matches the second location of the target object; and determining that the video is unmodified.

Embodiments of the present invention describe receiving, by a first device, an information vector over a short-range communication network established between the first device and a second device. Additionally, embodiments comprise determining the first identifier does not match the second identifier, merging one or more smart maps from the two or more computing devices together, comparing a first set of devices represented in the first set of participants and a second set of devices represented in the second set of participants, identifying pairs of matching devices in the first set of devices and the second set of devices, generating a set of unique devices by discarding one device for each pair of matching devices identified, and outputting a smart map comprising a count of participants equal to the sum of participants associated with the set of unique devices.
