Overview

Media Vision Surveillance provides functionality can be utilized for creation of video surveillance systems. The main idea underlying surveillance is event subscription model. By default, supported event types are described in Media Vision Surveillance Event Types section. mv_surveillance_subscribe_event_trigger() function has to be used to create subscription to the particular event trigger. Triggers are handled by mv_surveillance_event_trigger_h type. Such type handlers can be created with mv_surveillance_event_trigger_create() function and destroyed with mv_surveillance_event_trigger_destroy() function. Once event trigger subscription is created, corresponding mv_surveillance_event_occurred_cb() callback will be invoked each time when event is detected, i.e. trigger is activated. mv_surveillance_result_h event detection result handler will be passed to the callback together with identifier of the video stream where event was detected and mv_source_h handler containing frame in which detection was performed. It is possible to retrieve specific to event type result values using mv_surveillance_result_h handler. In the mv_surveillance_get_result_value() function documentation can be found detailed description of result values retrieving. Following table contains general events and corresponding event detection results can be obtained by this approach:

Event	Event result values
MV_SURVEILLANCE_EVENT_TYPE_MOVEMENT_DETECTED	MV_SURVEILLANCE_MOVEMENT_NUMBER_OF_REGIONS; MV_SURVEILLANCE_MOVEMENT_REGIONS
MV_SURVEILLANCE_EVENT_TYPE_PERSON_APPEARED_DISAPPEARED	MV_SURVEILLANCE_PERSONS_APPEARED_NUMBER; MV_SURVEILLANCE_PERSONS_DISAPPEARED_NUMBER; MV_SURVEILLANCE_PERSONS_TRACKED_NUMBER; MV_SURVEILLANCE_PERSONS_APPEARED_LOCATIONS; MV_SURVEILLANCE_PERSONS_DISAPPEARED_LOCATIONS; MV_SURVEILLANCE_PERSONS_TRACKED_LOCATIONS
MV_SURVEILLANCE_EVENT_TYPE_PERSON_RECOGNIZED	MV_SURVEILLANCE_PERSONS_RECOGNIZED_NUMBER; MV_SURVEILLANCE_PERSONS_RECOGNIZED_LOCATIONS; MV_SURVEILLANCE_PERSONS_RECOGNIZED_LABELS; MV_SURVEILLANCE_PERSONS_RECOGNIZED_CONFIDENCES

Before subscription of the event trigger with mv_surveillance_subscribe_event_trigger() call it is possible to create mv_engine_config_h handle and configure following attributes:

MV_SURVEILLANCE_SKIP_FRAMES_COUNT to setup number of frames will be ignored by event trigger;
MV_SURVEILLANCE_MOVEMENT_DETECTION_THRESHOLD to specify sensitivity of the MV_SURVEILLANCE_EVENT_TYPE_MOVEMENT_DETECTED event detection;
MV_SURVEILLANCE_FACE_RECOGNITION_MODEL_FILE_PATH to specify the file where face recognition model to be used for recognition is stored.

Created engine config has to be used as a parameter of mv_surveillance_subscribe_event_trigger() to apply the configuration. If NULL will be passed instead of valid mv_engine_config_h handle, then default attribute values will be used for subscriptions. To make surveillance system work with video sequences mv_surveillance_push_source() function has to be used for each frame in the sequence in the correct order. Multiple video sources can be supported by the system. To distinguish different video sources unique stream identifier has to be assigned to each subscription. Then, particular identifier can be passed as a parameter to the mv_surveillance_push_source() function. After pushing the source to the surveillance system, it will notify all triggers which were subscribed to process frames coming from video stream which source has been pushed. If trigger(s) is(are) activated on the source, then corresponding callback(s) of mv_surveillance_event_occurred_cb() type will be called. Additionally, region where event detection will be performed by the triggers can be set with mv_surveillance_set_event_trigger_roi() function and gotten with mv_surveillance_get_event_trigger_roi(). ROI is specified independently for the each event trigger, so it is possible to detect events of different types in the different parts of the incoming frames. Event trigger subscription can be stopped any time using mv_surveillance_unsubscribe_event_trigger() function. Additionally, mv_surveillance_foreach_supported_event_type() and mv_surveillance_foreach_event_result_name() functions can be found useful if it is required to obtain supported event types list or result value names list dynamically.
