Video Retrieval System, Method and Computer Program for Surveillance of Moving Objects

Video surveillance systems are used to monitor public places, streets, buildings, cities and other premises or surroundings and comprise a multitude of cameras which are monitoring relevant points in the surroundings. One of the problems of surveillance systems is, that the multitude of cameras produce a large amount of video data to be monitored, which requires a lot of human observers resulting in high personnel costs. A video retrieval system (1) connectable to a plurality of surveillance cameras (2) for monitoring a surroundings is proposed, the video retrieval system (1) comprising: displaying means (12) realized to display a graphical overall description (100, 130, 140) of the surroundings under surveillance, whereby the graphical overall description (100, 130, 140) comprises a plurality of monitored areas (110), whereby the areas are allocated to different surveillance cameras (2) and whereby the graphical overall description (100, 130, 140) is displayed in a single perspective view, and querying means (10) realized to formulate a trajectory-specific search (150, 160) query adapted to retrieve data about a moving object in the surroundings with a matching trajectory.

Interface and method for exploring a collection of data

An interface and a method is provided for permitting a user to explore a collection of data. The data collection provides nodes as structural elements, and references which are assigned to nodes and hold the address of another node. Multiple references can be assigned to each node, thus guiding a user of the system to multiple other nodes, and multiple references can hold the same address, so that multiple nodes can have references pointing to the same node. The interface allows visualizing the network created by the interconnection of the nodes on a display region. The interface also allows the user to intuitively navigate along the references in both directions of the references, so that the user can explore which nodes are referenced by a certain node, and also by which nodes a certain node is referenced. Electronic documents can be assigned to each node, and the interface allows these documents to be displayed either directly in a reserved display region of the interface, or by launching a matching application on the user's computer.

Method for correcting the image data that represent the blood flow

A method for correcting the image data representing the blood flow for the evaluation and quantitative representation of the blood flow in a tissue or vascular region is based on the signal of a contrast agent injected into the blood. Several individual images of the signal emitted by the tissue or vascular region are recorded and stored at successive points in time. At least two individual images are correlated and a shift vector is generated based on the correlation. Thereafter, the image data of the individual images are shifted in relation to each other according to the shift vector.

Method and device for generating a representation of surroundings

It is proposed that, on the assumption that the surrounding area forms a known topography, a representation is produced from a form of the topography, the camera position relative to the topography and the image in the form of a virtual representation of the view from an observation point which is at a distance from the camera position. This makes it possible to select an advantageous perspective of objects which are imaged in the image, thus making it possible for an operator to easily identify the position of the objects relative to the camera.
