A system and method are provided for analyzing a video. The method comprises: sampling the video to generate a plurality of spatio-temporal video volumes; clustering similar ones of the plurality of spatio-temporal video volumes to generate a low-level codebook of video volumes; analyzing the low-level codebook of video volumes to generate a plurality of ensembles of volumes surrounding pixels in the video; and clustering the plurality of ensembles of volumes by determining similarities between the ensembles of volumes, to generate at least one high-level codebook. Multiple high-level codebooks can be generated by repeating steps of the method. The method can further include performing visual event retrieval by using the at least one high-level codebook to make an inference from the video, for example comparing the video to a dataset and retrieving at least one similar video, activity and event labeling, and performing abnormal and normal event detection.

A system and method are provided for tracking objects in a scene from a sequence of images captured by an imaging device. The method includes processing the sequence of images to generate sequential images at a plurality of hierarchical levels to generate a set of regions of interest; and, at each of the hierarchical levels: examining pairs of sequential images to link pixels into short tracklets; and grouping short tracklets that indicate similar motion patterns to generate representative tracklets. The representative tracklets are grouped to generate a tracking result for at least one object.

A camera and a method for controlling the camera. Also a face recognition secure access camera and a method of capturing an image that is not saturated or too dark.

Secure access camera and method for camera control

A system and method that permits a plurality of clients to remotely search and share biometric information contained in single or a plurality of databases over a local area network, wide area network or public network such as the Internet. The system comprises one ore more remote workstations each having a camera and means for converting facial images of persons of interest to biometric templates. A biometric search query may be placed from the remote workstation to one or more searchable databases containing a plurality of biometric templates. The databases are connected to the workstation by communication means through a server that manages data traffic between the remote workstation and the database. A search engine compares the biometric template of the person of interest to those stored on the database(s) and indicates a match according to a predetermined confidence interval. A predetermined number of matches are prioritized in order of similarity to the person of interest and returned to the workstation for review.

A method for secure transmission of data, like e-mail and other secure documents, over a computer network includes the use of biometrics to verify that the sender of the data is confirmed as an individual authorized for secure access transmission of data over the network and by verifying that the recipient of the data is also an individual authorized to receive data by secure access transmission over the network. The methodology comprises creating a database containing the biometric templates of all individuals authorized for secure access transmission of data over the network and connecting the database to a data processor. The transmission of counterfeit messages is prevented by confirming the identity of the sender as an individual authorized for secure access transmission over the network by scanning a predetermined biometric of the sender, and comparing the biometric of the sender with the predetermined biometric of all individuals who are authorized for secure access transmission over the network. The recipient of a secure access message is not permitted to access the message until recipient's identity has been similarly confirmed as an individual authorized to receive messages secure access transmitted over the network. Once the recipient's identity is confirmed the message may be opened. The sender will receive confirmation by return electronic mail that the message has been opened by the authorized recipient.
