FAQ

General

What is Video Synopsis?
Video Synopsis is a technology that enables the simultaneous presentation of multiple objects and activities that have occurred at different times. Video is analyzed and separated into background (all static, non-moving objects) and foreground (moving objects). Moving objects are extracted and descriptions inserted into a database. Real time rendering is then used to display objects and events simultaneously in a condensed video clip.

What are the main features of Video Synopsis?
Video Synopsis technology delivers affordable video summarization for rapid browsing and indexing of captured video. It facilitates the review of captured surveillance video at rates of up to 1000 times faster than is currently achievable, at considerably reduced levels of manpower and cost.

Why is the ability to rapidly review video footage important?
The rapid review of captured video is critical for real time event management and assessment of reported incidents, enabling fast reaction and response. It is also crucial for the uncovering and discovery of incidents that may never have been exposed in the past, due to the high cost of manual “fast forward” video review.
