Method, system and apparatus for image capture, analysis and transmission

摘要

A method, system and apparatus for image capture, analysis and transmission are provided. A link aggregation method involves identifying controller network ports to a source connected to the same subnetwork; producing packets associating corresponding controller network ports selected by the source CPU for substantially uniform selection; and transmitting the packets to their corresponding network ports. An image analysis method involves producing by a camera an indication whether a region of an image differs by a threshold extent from a corresponding region of a reference image; transmitting the indication and image data to a controller via a communications network; and storing at the controller the image data and the indication in association therewith. The controller may perform operations according to positive indications. A transmission method involves receiving user input in respect of a video stream and transmitting, in accordance with the user input, selected data packets of selected image frames thereof.

1. A method of streaming a video to permit displaying of the video on a display, the video comprising a plurality of image frames having associated therewith a source frame rate, each said image frame having associated therewith a source pixel resolution, each said image frame comprising a plurality of data packets, the method comprising:
(a) receiving as user input a viewing area of a viewing window associated with the display; and (b) transmitting a selection of said image frames and, for each said selected image frame, transmitting a data packet selection of said data packets associated only with a pixel resolution determined in response to said viewing area.
