Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method of analysing a plurality of video camera feeds, the method comprising: encoding, at a first location, the plurality of video camera feeds using a layer-based encoding, including generating encoded data streams for each of a plurality of layers within the layer-based encoding, wherein different layers in the plurality of layers correspond to different spatial resolutions, higher layers representing higher spatial resolutions; transmitting, to a second location remote from the first location, encoded data streams for one or more lowest layers for the plurality of video camera feeds; decoding, at the second location, the encoded data streams to generate a set of reconstructions of the plurality of video camera feeds at a first spatial resolution; applying one or more video analysis functions to the set of reconstructions to identify one or more video camera feeds for further analysis; sending, to the first location for the identified one or more video camera feeds for further analysis, a request for further encoded data streams for one or more layers above the one or more lowest layers; responsive to the request, transmitting, to the second location, the further encoded data streams for one or more layers above the one or more lowest layers; decoding, at the second location, the further encoded data streams to generate a set of reconstructions for the identified one or more video camera feeds at a second spatial resolution; and applying one or more video analysis functions to the set of reconstructions at the second spatial resolution.
