Ground Truth Mapping for Real-Time Video Compliance Enforcement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video capture systems fail to enforce real-time data capture and transmission compliance, leading to potential data spills and security breaches in secure environments, as they either store or process problematic information, making them incompatible with stringent security requirements.
Innovation Solution
A Ground Truth MAP (GTM) is generated for a local scene to enforce real-time data transmission compliance by defining and using a GTM to prevent capture and transmission of disallowed objects, through alignment conditions, time-delayed capture, and predicted FOV, ensuring compliance with security protocols.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing systems monitor video capture using computer vision and AI to identify problematic information, then data capture compliance is improved, but the systems store and process problematic information creating security risks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining ground truth maps that identify disallowed objects and regions before video capture begins. These maps are established in advance and stored securely, allowing the system to enforce compliance without storing problematic captured data. The ground truth maps serve as pre-established rules that guide real-time monitoring while eliminating the need to retain sensitive information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the essential compliance information (ground truth maps defining disallowed objects) from the captured video data without storing the actual problematic content. By separating the compliance enforcement mechanism from the captured data itself, the system maintains security while ensuring regulatory compliance.
2Reliability
If existing systems remove or obscure problematic information from video files, then data capture compliance is improved, but real-time video transmission is delayed or prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-establishing ground truth maps that contain all necessary compliance information before video capture starts. This allows real-time monitoring to proceed without delays, as the system simply checks captured frames against pre-defined maps rather than performing complex analysis or editing operations during transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The ground truth map serves as an intermediary that enables real-time compliance checking without requiring processing of the actual video content. The map acts as a reference that can be quickly compared against captured frames, allowing instantaneous compliance verification while maintaining real-time transmission speeds.
3Reliability
If physical draping or mechanical narrowing of FOV is used to prevent capture of excluded data, then data capture compliance is improved, but operational flexibility and efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical systems (physical draping, mechanical FOV narrowing) with a digital/computational approach using ground truth maps and software-based monitoring. This substitution eliminates the need for physical interventions while maintaining compliance enforcement, thereby preserving operational flexibility and ease of use.
Solution Approach 2:
By pre-defining ground truth maps that specify disallowed objects and regions, the system establishes compliance rules in advance without requiring physical modifications during operation. This allows users to maintain full operational flexibility while compliance is enforced through automated digital monitoring.

AI summary
A Ground Truth Map (GTM) is defined, generated for a local scene and then used to enforce real-time data transmission compliance. Data, and specifically imagery of disallowed objects in the local scene, may pose a risk for “spillage” (e.g., accidental storage or transmission) at multiple points in the process. Techniques for defining the GTM, handling the session data used to generate the GTM and for using the GTM alone or in combination mitigate the risk of spillage.
