Video surveillance systems

Replacing conventional Shannon video surveillance with Autosophy video.

Application Proposal: 2007

Abstract: Video surveillance systems are now designed according to the Shannon information theory where video is transmitted in meaningless bit streams. Video bit rates are determined by screen size, color resolution, and scanning rates. The video "content" is irrelevant so that totally random images require the same bit rates as blank images. An alternative system design, based on the newer Autosophy information theory, is now evolving, which transmits data "contend" or "meaning" in a universally compatible 64bit format. This may produce orders of magnitude lossless video compression. The new systems design uses self-assembling hyperspace libraries, which grow like data crystals or data trees in electronic memories, for both communication and archiving. The advantages for video communication and archiving may include: very high lossless image and video compression, unbreakable encryption security, resistance to transmission errors, universally compatible data formats, self-organizing error-proof mass memories, immunity to the Internet's Quality of Service problems, and error-proof secure communication protocols. Legacy data transmission formats can be converted by simple software patches or integrated chipsets to be forwarded through any media - satellites, radio, Internet, cable - without needing to be reformatted. This may result in orders of magnitude improvements for video surveillance and archiving systems.

 

Anticipated Applications: Autosophy video can compress high-resolution image storage and communication by two orders of magnitude without introduced image distortions or loss of resolution. It may also provide a universally compatible multimedia data format to ease video transmissions on the Internet and video retrieval from archives.
