Dhafer R. Zaghar, Dhulfiaqr S Aldeen A Alwahab, Tawfeeq Enad Abdulabbas . A Compression Algorithm for Video Surveillance System. International Journal of Computer Applications. 118, 24 ( May 2015), 19-22. DOI=10.5120/20956-3210
The major challenge in surveillance system and visual sensor network lies in how to compress and store video. The deployment from a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) to Network Video Recorder (NVR) made the challenge more complicated, since there is no central unit controlling on the compression and highlight the big data problem on the other hand. This paper presents an algorithm to compress videos considering the contained information. Information is the result of a combination between faces and motion detection techniques. That is when information increases the quality of the stored frame (image) increase and vice-versa. The proposed algorithm is tested under different videos with varied time and information. These videos are also compressed using JPEG-2000 algorithm. The obtained results showed that the proposed algorithm produced less video size with more detailed information than the others.
