Solution Overview

Problem

Existing computer-implemented visual object detection systems in video security systems face challenges with processor resource allocation, as some video analytics determinators consume large resources, making continuous repeated employment within a single camera device impractical.

Innovation Solution

The system employs a dual video analytics determinator approach, where a first determinator with high processor resource allocation is infrequently used for partial object detection focus, and a second determinator, with a lower resource allocation, is repeatedly used for refined object detection, ensuring continuous operation within the camera device.

1Measurement precision

If a first video analytics determinator with high processor resource allocation is employed for object detection, then object detection accuracy is improved, but continuous repeated employment within a single camera device becomes impractical

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject detection accuracyVSAvoidcontinuous operation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the video analytics processing into two distinct determinators: a first determinator with high processor resource allocation for infrequent execution to achieve high accuracy, and a second determinator with lower resource allocation for frequent execution to maintain continuous operation. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific role, resolving the contradiction between accuracy and continuous operation capability.

2Use of energy by moving object

If a first video analytics determinator is infrequently employed to provide partial object detection focus, then processor resource consumption is reduced, but detection coverage is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessor resource consumptionVSAvoiddetection coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The first video analytics determinator performs preliminary object detection to identify regions of interest or anomalies in the video feed. This preliminary action provides partial detection focus that guides the second determinator to concentrate its processing resources on specific areas, thereby reducing overall processor resource consumption while maintaining comprehensive detection coverage through the coordinated operation of both determinators.

AI summary

A method, system and computer program product for divided processing in providing object detection focus is disclosed. The system includes a first video analytics determinator configured to provide, by infrequent employment thereof within the system, a partial object detection focus in first information that informs as to where moving objects are likely and unlikely to appear within video frames in respect of video. The system also includes a second video analytics determinator configured to: informatively employ the first information to determine a refined object detection focus; and provide the refined tracking and/or object detection focus in second information.
