Abstract
A system and method to determine a flow direction automatically so that counter-flow motion may be detected without user calibration is disclosed. The system and method utilize information available from existing video compression algorithms to sense motion and determine a flow direction. Once a flow direction for an area is determined, the system and method can detect counter-flow motion using compressed video without any decompression, thereby improving the speed of detection and simplifying the computational complexity. These improvements facilitate counter-flow alarms and expand the information available to a user monitoring the video.
