MPEG-7 descriptor integration for on-line video surveillance interface

On-line video surveillance system is developed to the point where it is simple and inexpensive to use in homes or businesses. Many video applications (e.g., retrieval, annotation, summarization) started using MPEG-7 as their base standard and extend it to support their application domain. In this work, we propose an on-line TCP/IP based video surveillance system which integrates video analysis algorithms and MPEG-7. The proposed on-line system takes input streams from several cameras placed on remote sites. Each input stream is bounded to a unique process that uses a graphical user interface for successful communication among the web server and the clients. The proposed integrated system allows the clients to receive and analyze high-level descriptions of video objects.
