WIRELESS CAMERA STREAMING WITH TEMPLATE MATCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233320 titled 'WIRELESS CAMERA STREAMING WITH TEMPLATE MATCHING

The method described in the abstract of this patent application involves a process for video streaming that aims to minimize bandwidth consumption by transmitting only the unmatched grid areas of an input image along with identification information of the matched grid areas to a vehicle.

The method starts by receiving an input image from a camera, which consists of multiple grid areas.
A template image is also received for comparison purposes.
The matching error of the input image is compared with a template-matching error threshold to identify unmatched grid areas.
Only the unmatched grid areas are transmitted to the vehicle, reducing bandwidth usage during video streaming.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in real-time video streaming applications where bandwidth optimization is crucial. - It can be utilized in surveillance systems, autonomous vehicles, and remote monitoring scenarios.

Problems Solved: - Minimizes bandwidth consumption during video streaming. - Efficiently transmits only relevant information to the receiving end.

Benefits: - Reduced bandwidth usage leads to cost savings and improved efficiency. - Ensures that only necessary data is transmitted, enhancing overall system performance.

Commercial Applications: Title: Bandwidth-Optimized Video Streaming Technology for Surveillance Systems This technology can be commercialized in the surveillance industry for efficient video streaming in security cameras, drones, and other monitoring devices.
