  • US patent application 20060171452 describes a method and apparatus for dual mode digital video recording. This patent focuses on a surveillance system comprising receiving video data from a surveillance camera, recording the received video data at a first rate, and recording the received video data at a second rate with the second rate being slower than the first rate. The quality images can be retrieved from the video data that is recorded at the slower rate.
  • US patent 6757008 describes a video surveillance system where a linescan camera is used in conjunction with a mechanical scanning mechanism to acquire high-resolution images of an area under video surveillance.
  • the video signal from the linescan camera is converted into a digital data stream, compressed, and stored in a digital memory.
  • full-field images are selectively recalled from the digital memory and converted to a lower resolution for display on a monitor.
  • the operator selects a region-of-interest from the full-field display through the use of a computer pointing device, such as a mouse.
  • the selected area is then displayed on the monitor in its full acquired resolution, thereby allowing the operator to view high-resolution images of a large area under surveillance.
  • US patent application 20040001149 describes a surveillance system formed from two video cameras monitoring the same area, where the first camera provides high temporal resolution, such as a conventional CCTV camera operating at 30 frames per second with 640 pixels per image width.
  • the second camera provides high spatial resolution, such as a linescan sensor with a mechanical scanning assembly, providing 2 images per second with 5120 pixels per image width.
  • the combination of these two cameras provides a video record of the monitored region with simultaneous high spatial resolution and high temporal resolution.
  • US patent application 20040161133 describes a system and method for video content-based detection, surveillance and alarm management, which is used in detection of unattended objects.
  • the main characteristics of MPEG are the compression of motion images by storing key images and motion information of intermediate frames, thus achieving a smaller file size stored, compared to storing each separate image.
  • the quality of the compression may be chosen by the user.
  • the disadvantage of this compression method is that video defects known as artifacts may occur, due to insufficient information for reconstructing the intermediate frames. This is usually caused by a recording of busy images set with a lower bit-rate than desired, or during the streaming of MPEG data which is degraded due to network infrastructure.
  • Digital video recorder systems utilizing the MPEG video compression method enable compact and efficient storage of video images with configurable preset video size-per-second to achieve the desired recording period within a defined of limited storage space.
  • MPEG compression also allows for the quick transmission and replay of the stored video file.

  • VCA Video Content Analysis
  • the method is used in capturing video for a live streaming video signal from surveillance cameras.
  • the quality images are compressed in the MJPEG (Motion JPEG) format.
  • the video images are compressed in the MPEG format.
  • the images are stored in the MJPEG format before, during and immediately after an event occurs. This will ensure that the event can be played back with minimal quality degradation and useful information can be extracted from the recorded images.

  • the present invention provides a method for recording quality images when a potential event is detected, as in shown in Figure 1.
  • the image(s) are copied to an event buffer (15) when an alert is triggered from the VCA Result Analyzer (11 ).
  • the image(s) are then converted into the MJPEG format and copied to a non-volatile storage medium (16) such as a hard disk, where the event images in the non-volatile storage medium (17) may be accessed later when needed.
  • Images recorded with the MJPEG format are higher quality images with less occurring artifacts.
  • the file sizes are comparatively larger than the formats conventionally used; therefore the present invention solves this by recording in this format when needed only.

  • the image is transferred to the VCA module (7) to be processed (6).
