Abstract

Conventional surveillance video coding frameworks are designed to maximize the coding efficiency or to improve the adaptability. However, the problem that how to construct a flexible framework for browsing surveillance video has become another important issue as well as improving the efficiency of coding and adaptability of video bitstream. This paper proposes a framework for efficient storing and synopsis browsing of surveillance video based on object flags. The main contributions of our work are that: (1) the framework provides an applicable video coding approach for video surveillance by combining with the video synopsis method; (2) our method can improve the storage efficiency and provide users a fast browsing scheme for surveillance video. The experiments of implementing the framework based on the H.264/AVC video codec are shown.
