System and method for improved video operations
A method of video operations includes generating derivative byproducts related to encoded video captured of a scene, initializing a first operation based on the encoded video, and initializing a second operation different from the first operation based on the derivative byproducts.
1. A computerized method of generating video byproducts comprising:
defining a plurality of macroblocks, wherein the plurality of macroblocks overlay a scene to be reported;
recording a plurality of images of the scene;
comparing motion of an object between a plurality of images by comparing a change in position of a macroblock that overlays the object;
recording the motion as a byproduct by recording a number of pixels of change in position of the macroblock; and
measuring a magnitude of change in position of the macroblock.
2. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the video byproducts are based on byproducts of an encoding operation.
3. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the byproduct is a number of pixels the macroblock moved vertically.
4. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the byproduct is a number of pixels the macroblock moved horizontally.
5. The computerized method of claim 3 , wherein the magnitude is calculated from the byproduct caused by vertical movement.
6. The computerized method of claim 4 , wherein the magnitude is calculated from the byproduct caused by horizontal movement.
7. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the magnitude of change in position of the macroblock is sent in a header of encoded video data.
8. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the magnitude of change in position of the macroblock is sent separately of the encoded video data.
9. The computerized method of claim 8 , wherein an area around the macroblock is highlighted or alarmed when the magnitude of change is measured.
10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having an instruction stored thereon for generating video byproducts, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processing system, direct the processing system to:
define a plurality of macroblocks, wherein the plurality of macroblocks overlay a scene to be reported;
record a plurality of images of the scene;
compare motion of an object between a plurality of images by comparing a change in position of a macroblock that overlays the object;
record the motion as a byproduct by recording a number of pixels of change in position of the macroblock; and
measure a magnitude of change in position of the macroblock.
11. The computerized method of claim 10 , wherein the video byproducts are based on byproducts of an encoding operation.
12. The computerized method of claim 10 , wherein the byproduct is a number of pixels the macroblock moved vertically.
13. The computerized method of claim 10 , wherein the byproduct is a number of pixels the macroblock moved horizontally.
14. The computerized method of claim 12 , wherein the magnitude is calculated from the byproduct caused by vertical movement.
15. The computerized method of claim 13 , wherein the magnitude is calculated from the byproduct caused by horizontal movement.
16. The computerized method of claim 10 , wherein the magnitude of change in position of the macroblock is sent in a header of encoded video data.
17. The computerized method of claim 10 , wherein the magnitude of change in position of the macroblock is sent separately of the encoded video data.
18. The computerized method of claim 17 , wherein an area around the macroblock is highlighted or alarmed when the magnitude of change is measured.
