Title: Method and apparatus for detecting motion deviation in a video
Inventor: JOHN MADSEN
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2017-12-19
Abstract: Determining motion deviation (520, fig 5C) in a video sequence by comparing at least one element of a current motion grid to a corresponding element of a motion model. The current motion grid 130 (140, fig 1B) has a plurality of elements (142, fig 1B), where each element stores an indication of whether there is a change between corresponding elements of at least two images 100 & 110 captured from the video. The motion model has a plurality of elements. The motion model may be in a grid where each element of the motion model has a corresponding element in the current motion grid of the same size and same location (e.g. row and column). The motion model is generated by accumulating information from motion grids (202, fig 2A) obtained from the video sequence. The indication of motion stored in the current motion grid may be a “true” or “false” statement, or a “1” and “0”; alternatively, the indication may be determined when a predetermined number of pixels within an element change 121. An aim of the present invention is to detect abnormal motion in a video surveillance system using a computationally light method based on metadata (“1’s” and “0’s”).
