Abstract

Claims (42)

1. An imaging apparatus comprising:

a video reproducer configured to reproduce a video and a heatmap of the video on a display in a selective manner between overlapping the video and the heatmap with each other and displaying the video and the heatmap on different areas on the display, respectively;

a sub-heatmap area setter configured to set a plurality of sub-heat map areas on the heatmap; and

a video summarizer configured to provide at least one video summary of the video selectively to at least one summary area selected from among the sub-heatmap areas or to at least one area different from the sub-heatmap areas, respectively,

wherein the video reproducer is further configured to reproduce at least one portion of the video on at least one interest area selected from among the sub-heatmap areas, respectively, and

wherein the at least one summary area and the at least one interest area are a same area or different areas in the heatmap.

2. The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the video reproducer is further configured to reproduce the at least one portion of the video on at least one sub-heatmap area, among the plurality of sub-hear map areas, which corresponds to the at least one selected interest area, respectively, and provide heatmap data on at least one sub-heatmap area, among the plurality of sub-heat map areas, which does not correspond to the at least one selected interest area.

3. The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the heatmap comprises statistical data, and the statistical data comprises at least one of object classification data, color classification data, movement detection data, object data, and event data.

4. The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the video reproducer is further configured to provide heatmap data along with the at least one video summary to the at least one selected summary area.

5. The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the video summarizer is configured to provide a video summary on a sub-heatmap area, among the plurality of sub-heatmap areas, which corresponds to the at least one selected summary area, and

wherein the video reproducer is further configured to provide heatmap data on a sub-heatmap area, among the plurality of sub-hear map areas, which does not correspond to the at least one selected summary area.

6. The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, in response to selection of multiple summary areas among the at least one summary area, the imaging apparatus is configured to provide an interface for selecting a same or different video analysis options for each of the selected summary areas.

7. The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the video reproducer is configured to provide heatmap data along with the at least one video summary to the at least one selected summary area such that the heatmap data and the at least one video summary overlap with each other.

8. The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the video reproducer is configured to provide heatmap data to the at least one selected summary area, and

wherein the video summarizer is configured to provide the at least one video summary to the at least one area different from the sub-heatmap areas, respectively.

9. The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the video and the heatmap reproduced by the video reproducer correspond to a time section selected by a user.

10. The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the video reproducer is configured to provide heatmap data on the heatmap and reproduce the video on an area different from the heatmap on the display.

11. The imaging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the video producer is configured to provide a three-dimensional (3D) area on the plurality of sub-heatmap areas in which a portion of the video and heatmap data of the portion of the video are displayed on different facets of the 3D area.

12. A method of providing imaging information to an imaging apparatus, the method comprising:

reproducing a video and a heatmap of the video on a display in a selective manner between overlapping the video and the heatmap with each other and displaying the video and the heatmap on different areas on the display, respectively;

setting a plurality of sub-heat map areas on the heatmap;

providing at least one video summary of the video selectively to at least one summary area selected from among the sub-heatmap areas or to at least one area different from the sub-heatmap areas, respectively; and

reproducing at least one portion of the video on at least one interest area selected from among the sub-heatmap areas, respectively,

wherein the at least one summary area and the at least one interest area are a same area or different areas in the heatmap.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

reproducing the at least one portion of the video on at least one sub-heatmap area, among the plurality of sub-hear map areas, which corresponds to the at least one selected interest area, respectively; and

providing heatmap data on at least one sub-heatmap area, among the plurality of sub-heat map areas, which does not correspond to the at least one selected interest area.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising providing heatmap data along with the at least one video summary to the at least one selected summary area.

15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

providing a video summary on a sub-heatmap area, among the plurality of sub-heatmap areas, which corresponds to the at least one selected summary area, and

providing heatmap data on a sub-heatmap area, among the plurality of sub-hear map areas, which does not correspond to the at least one selected summary area.

16. The method of claim 12 , further comprising, in response to selection of multiple summary areas among the at least one summary area, providing an interface for selecting a same or different video analysis options for each of the selected summary areas.

17. The method of claim 12 , further comprising providing heatmap data along with the at least one video summary to the at least one selected summary area such that the heatmap data and the at least one video summary overlap with each other.

18. The method of claim 12 , further comprising providing heatmap data to the at least one selected summary area; and

providing the at least one video summary to the at least one area different from the sub-heatmap areas, respectively.

19. The method of claim 12 , further comprising providing heatmap data on the heatmap and reproducing the video on an area different from the heatmap on the display.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium having recorded thereon a program for executing a method of providing imaging information to an imaging apparatus, the method comprising:

reproducing a video and a heatmap of the video on a display in a selective manner between overlapping the video and the heatmap with each other and displaying the video and the heatmap on different areas on the display, respectively;

setting a plurality of sub-heat map areas on the heatmap;

providing at least one video summary of the video selectively to at least one summary area selected from among the sub-heatmap areas or to at least one area different from the sub-heatmap areas, respectively;

reproducing at least one portion of the video on at least one interest area selected from among the sub-heatmap areas, respectively,

wherein the at least one summary area and the at least one interest area are a same area or different areas in the heatmap.
