Abstract

This paper proposes a real time storage and simultaneous retrieval tool that can be used to access a video database to capture and index all the images which the video camera records. Using this tool we can register video streams on the spot. Surveillance and patrol of the electric power industry can in this way be aided effectively. Our tool has two main features: (1) automatic segmentation of video streams containing irregular transitions, and (2) rapid indexing of segmented video scenes using local color patterns. Our prototype tool can segment, index and retrieve video streams at 5 frames/s
