Claim One:
1. A method for processing video data, comprising: receiving video data of a sequence of images, wherein the video data is marked with a first time stamp; comparing the video data of a first image to the video data of a preceding image such that a static component and a dynamic component of the first image are identified; identifying a geometric form from the video data; storing the identified geometric form as metadata of a first data level, wherein the metadata of the first data level are marked with a second time stamp that allows the geometric form to be linked to the video data of the first image, and wherein the metadata of the first data level contain information defining the dimensions, color and position of the identified geometric form; extracting an object from the metadata of the first data level obtained from the identified geometric form; and storing the extracted object as metadata of a second data level, wherein the metadata of the second data level are marked with a third time stamp that allows the extracted object to be linked to the video data of the first image.
