Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for visually conveying an event map. The event map may represent information learned by a surveillance system. A request may be received to view the event map for a specified scene. The event map may be generated, including a background model of the specified scene and at least one cluster providing a statistical distribution of an event in the specified scene. Each statistical distribution may be derived from data streams generated from a sequence of video frames depicting the specified scene captured by a video camera. Each event may be observed to occur at a location in the specified scene corresponding to a location of the respective cluster in the event map. The event map may be configured to allow a user to view and/or modify properties associated with each cluster. For example, the user may label a cluster and set events matching the cluster to always (or never) generate an alert.
