IMVS (Intelligent Mobile Video Stream Monitoring System) is a mobile video surveillance system. The objective of IMVS is to design a high performance video stream monitoring system in a mobile computing environment. In particular, the technical questions to be addressed are: (1) how to minimize the amount of video signals to be transmitted between the front-end mobile device and the backend server over the mobile network; and (2) how to divide the jobs to be performed between the front-end and backend processes so that the workload at the front-end mobile device can be maintained within its processing capacity. Categories and Subject Descriptors I.4.8 [Image Processing and Computer Vision]: Scene Analysis – Object recognition, Tracking. General Terms Performance, Design Keywords Video surveillance, wireless computing, scheduling and rule evaluation
