Scheduled scene modification for extraction, preprocessing, and publishing of streaming video data

Abstract

A method of scheduled modifications of preprocessing of incoming video data of at least one region of interest from a camera collecting video data having a first field of view includes receiving incoming video data from the camera and preprocessing the incoming video data, by a computer processor, according to preprocessing parameters defined within a runtime configuration file. The preprocessing includes formatting the incoming video data to create first video data of a first region of interest with a second field of view that is less than the first field of view. The method also include publishing the first video data of the first region of interest to an endpoint to allow access and processing by a subscriber; in response to a time schedule, altering the preprocessing parameters defined within the runtime configuration file dependent upon the time schedule to create second video data that is different from the first video data; and publishing the second video data to the endpoint to allow access and processing by the first subscriber.
