Video surveillance system with comprehensive event detection

Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for detecting events based on video surveillance data and performing automated actions in response to detecting the events. The video surveillance system analyzes video data to detect events. The video is analyzed to detect objects within the video frames, and the objects may include, but are not limited to, people, animals, vehicles, tools, weapons, etc. The system identifies object attributes, such as appearance or movement, which may be used for event search and analysis. The system determines the object locations and calculates relationships between the objects. The triggers for the events are actuated based on the detected objects, such as presence of an object, relationships among the objects, movement of the objects, etc. The actions configured for the events are performed in response to the triggering. The system provides a user interface for defining event parameters, such as camera selection, triggers, and actions.
