Claim 25:
26. A method for storage and bandwidth reduction of visual events in association with an activity comprising the steps of:
acquiring images of the activity with at least one camera and performing visual event detection with a processor;
identifying the visual events from software-based and hardware-based event detectors that identify predetermined characteristics within one or more of the images and determine a state based upon the characteristics and storing the visual events in a queue based upon predetermined parameters, wherein the visual events comprise activities related to at least one of bridge operations and safety operations with respect to a sea-going vessel; and
communicating with a remote location over a reduced-bandwidth communications channel adapted to transmit the stored visual events in a reduced-bandwidth and queued format to the remote location.
