An image processing system may include a transceiver configured to communicate with a remote terminal over a communications channel. Furthermore, an image processor may cooperate with the transceiver and be configured to determine an operational parameter associated with at least one of the communications channel and the remote terminal, generate a resized image from an original image based upon an energy function and the operational parameter, and transmit the resized image to the remote terminal over the communications channel.

A video processing system may include a video ingest module for receiving a plurality of georeferenced video feeds each including a sequence of video frames and initial geospatial metadata associated therewith, and each georeferenced video feed having a respective different geospatial accuracy level associated therewith. The system may further include a video processor coupled to the video ingest module and configured to perform image registration among the plurality of georeferenced video feeds, and generate corrected geospatial metadata for at least one of the georeferenced video feeds based upon the initial geospatial metadata, the image registration and the different geospatial accuracy levels.

A multimedia system may include at least one audio comment input device configured to permit at least one commentator to generate audio comment data based upon viewing video data from a video source. Furthermore, a media processor may cooperate with the at least one audio comment input device and be configured to process video source data and audio comment data and generate therefrom audio trigger markers synchronized with the video source data for predetermined audio triggers in the audio comment data, and combine the video source data, the audio comment data, and the audio trigger markers into a media data stream.

A video processing system which may include a first video input configured to receive a first georeferenced video feed from a first video source, and a second video input configured to receive a second georeferenced video feed from a second video source, where the second georeferenced video feed overlaps the first georeferenced video feed. The system may further include a video processor coupled to the first and second video inputs. The video processor may include an annotation module configured to generate an annotation for an object in the first georeferenced video feed, and a geospatial correlation module configured to geospatially correlate the annotation to the object in the second georeferenced video feed overlapping the first georeferenced video feed.

A surveillance video system may include a first device configured to process successive surveillance image files of a common area into an image transport stream for a selectable region of interest within the common area. The surveillance video system also may include a second device remote from the first device and in communication with the first device. The second device may include a display and a processor cooperating therewith. The processor may be configured to scroll the selectable region of interest to maintain a selected moving target visible on the display.

A video processing system may include a display and a video processor coupled to the display. The video processor may be configured to display a georeferenced video feed on the display defining a viewable area, determine actual geospatial location data for a selected moving object within the viewable area, and generate estimated geospatial location data along a predicted path for the moving object when the moving object is no longer within the viewable area and based upon the actual geospatial location data. The video processor may be further configured to define a successively expanding search area for the moving object when the moving object is no longer within the viewable window and based upon the estimated geospatial location data, and search within the successively expanding search area for the moving object when the successively expanding search area is within the viewable area.

A method () for online collaboration among users at different locations sharing common motion imagery (). The method involves storing data defining the motion imagery (MID) in a data store () associated with a motion image server (MIS) and communicating the motion imagery to a first client device (FCD). The method also involves generating at the FCD () an annotation () capable of being displayed together with the motion imagery. The annotation is defined by metadata distinct from the MID and containing information to associate the metadata with the motion imagery. The method further involves communicating the metadata to the MIS (), storing the metadata in the data store, and communicating the MID and the metadata to a second client device (SCD). The SCD () selectively displays the annotation together with the motion imagery in response to an input command of a second user.
