OPTIMAL TIME SCALE AND DATA VOLUME FOR REAL-TIME FRAUD ANALYTICS

Номер: US20170053291A1
Принадлежит:

In analyzing real-time order data, a surveillance system obtains historical orders data in a historical order stream labeled for a given rule, and for the given rule, determines optimal time and optimal data volume using a distribution model for the historical orders data. The surveillance system obtains real-time orders data from a real-time order stream within the optimal time or optimal data volume, determines that at least one real-time orders data violates the given rule, and validates that the real-time orders data indicates fraudulent activity. The surveillance system determines that the real-time orders data does not conform to the distribution model for the given rule, and in response, updates the distribution model using the real-time orders data, and updates the determination of the optimal time and optimal data volume using the updated distribution model and associating the updated optimal time and the updated optimal data volume with the given rule.

VIDEO PROCESSING SYSTEM WITH STREAM INDEXING DATA AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH

Номер: US20130279571A1
Принадлежит: VIXS SYSTEMS, INC.

A system for searching a video library includes a memory that stores a searchable index that includes search features corresponding to videos contained in the video library. A video processing system decodes, encodes or transcodes a video signal and that further generates search features of the video signal. A search module identifies at least one matching video of the video library by comparing the search features of the video signal to corresponding search features of the searchable index. The search features can include at least one shot-level search feature and at least one frame level feature. 1. A system for searching a video library based on a video signal including an image sequence , the system comprising:a memory that stores a searchable index that includes search features corresponding to videos contained in the video library;a video processing system that decodes the video signal and that further generates search features of the video signal;a search module, coupled to the video processing module, that identifies at least one matching video of the video library by comparing the search features of the video signal to corresponding search features of the searchable index;wherein the search features include at least one shot-level search feature and at least one frame level feature.2. The system of wherein the video processing system includes a shot segmentation module that segments the image sequence into shot data corresponding to a plurality of shots claim 1 , and that generates the shot-level feature based on the shot data.3. The system of wherein the video processing system generates the searchable index based on a processing of the videos of the video library.4. The system of wherein the search features include hierarchical search features.5. The system of wherein the search module locates a potential shot in the searchable index based on a comparison of at least one shot-level search feature of the video signal to a corresponding search feature in ...

A system for processing a video signal into a processed video signal includes a pattern recognition module for detecting a region of text in the image sequence based on coding feedback data and generating pattern recognition data in response thereto. A video codec generates the processed video signal and generates the coding feedback data in conjunction with the processing of the image sequence. 1. A system for processing a video signal into a processed video signal , the video signal including an image sequence , the system comprising:a pattern recognition module for detecting a region of text in the image sequence based on coding feedback data and generating pattern recognition data in response thereto; anda video codec, coupled to the pattern recognition module, that generates the processed video signal by processing the image sequence and by generating the coding feedback data in conjunction with the coding of the image sequence.2. The system of wherein the video codec includes an encoding section that generates the processed video signal by encoding the image sequence claim 1 , wherein the pattern recognition data includes a location of the region of text and wherein the encoder section guides the encoding of the image sequence based on pattern recognition feedback that indicates the presence of text in at least one image of the image sequence and indicates the location of the region of text.3. The system of wherein the coding feedback data includes shot transition data that identifies temporal segments in the image sequence corresponding to a plurality of video shots.4. The system of wherein the pattern recognition module further generates index data that correlates the region of text to at least one of the plurality of video shots.5. The system of wherein the pattern recognition module generates a text string by recognizing the text in the region of text and further generates index data that includes the text string correlated to at least one of the plurality ...
