SMART VIEW SELECTION IN A CLOUD VIDEO SERVICE

摘要

A cloud-based network service provides intelligent access to surveillance camera views across multiple locations and environments. A cloud computing server maintains a database of the views captured by the cameras connected to the network. The database is indexed by one or more classes according to tags characterizing the views obtained by each camera. In response to a user search string, the string is robustly interpreted against the classes and other indicators to search the database and determine a selection of views. The server causes the selection of views to be transmitted to a user interface, where a user can remotely monitor an environment through the selected views.
