Frequently Asked Questions.
1. What does SIGVR mean?
Intelligent Software for Video Summaries Generation.
2. For what is SIGVR useful?
The amount of video sequences generated in our times, as well as the sources that originated them, is massive and unquantifiable, but the time required for revising all of these video contents is even greater. SIGVR significantly reduces the time for analysis by showing only those relevant elements that could be useful respect to a video sequence’s contents. The following links serve as evidence on the abovementioned elements:
Derived from the above, SIGVR finds, in the industrial and services branches, a field of numerous practical applications. For example:

3. Are the drones necessary?
Drones represent a vanguard technology for aerial exploration and video acquisition because of their capture and accessibility capabilities, relative low cost, and versatile applications in tasks of surveillance and monitoring. The relationship between Drones and SIGVR is given only by the processing of video sequences generated precisely by Drones. In this sense, the Drone technology should be understand as a potential opportunity which could eventually be explored for obtaining video sequences. Finally, SIGVR is capable of processing video sequences obtained from a wide range of devices such as cell phones, tablets, digital video cameras, etc.
4. Does it is possible to analyze whatever video sequence?
Video sequence analysis should be boarded in two contexts:
Respect to the content of a video sequence, SIGVR rises as a versatile tool which performs analysis and recognition specific and adequate to each video sequence shared as input. This implies there is no problem for processing video sequences whose content corresponds to surveillance (with static or moving cameras), motion pictures, television programs, streaming, etc.
5. Which is the minimal resolution for analyzing a video sequence?
In principle, SIGVR is capable of processing video sequences of any resolution. However, a minimal acceptable resolution that allows useful analysis results is the corresponding to Analogical Television: 320 x 240 pixels. On the other side, there have been executed tests with Blu-Ray resolution (1920 x 1080) with satisfactory results.
6. What happens if Drones are not being used?
Just as commented in Question number 2), the relationship between Drones and SIGVR is given only by the processing of video sequences generated precisely by Drones. However, sources for video sequences can be cell phones, digital cameras, streaming, etc.
7. How many video sequences are analyzed per hour? What is the length of those video sequences?
As an example we have a video sequence with DVD resolution (720 x 416) and length 130 minutes is successfully processed by SIGVR in approximately 27 minutes. In this sense it is important to take in account two aspects:
Any task involving video processing requires intensive computer workload. Although SIGVR is a tool that provides results in reasonably acceptable execution times.
SIGVR’s time processing is not dependent of the time transfer required for send video sequences over Internet. Time transfer is subject to capabilities, specifically width band, of the Internet Service Providers.
8. How does SIGVR work?
SIGVR is the result of a combination of state-of-the-art techniques that are being part of the areas of Computational Intelligence, Computer Vision, Signal Processing, and Computational Geometry. SIGVR is a patented computer system that analyses a video sequence and identifies its significant and substantial events. These events are extracted and condensed, according to a modality selected from three available options, in a muted-audio new video sequence which corresponds to a summarized version of the original video sequence. This new sequence is called Video Summary.
From the User’s point of view, SIGVR only requires as input the video sequence to be analyzed. Consequently, SIGVR provides as output the corresponding Video Summary. As mentioned in Question number 3), the User does not need to be worried about the specific content of his/her video sequence (Surveillance, Motion Picture, TV Show, Music Video, etc.) nor its format (AVI, MPEG, WMV, etc.) because SIGVR executes an ad-hoc, intelligent, and automatic analysis over the input video Sequence.
9. Where is located the information? Is it stored in a Cloud Service or a Server?
When SIGVR receives a petition for generating a Video Summary it stores temporally the video sequence file provided by the User. Once the analysis has been successfully achieved the file is deleted, the corresponding Video Summary is sent back to the User, and once the transmission has been finished, the Video Summary is also deleted. In this sense, the User decides, independently of SIGVR, where to store his/her video sequence files and Video Summary files.
10. How much time is required for implementing SIGVR?
SIGVR is already implemented.
11. What are the advantages shared by SIGVR 1.0 to the User?

- Government Communications.
- Cadastre Registers.
- Private Surveillance:
- Monitoring of transfer of currency and values.
- Monitoring of transfer of commodities, finished products, and shipments.
- Transport Vehicles Surveillance.
- Banks, Offices, and Shops Surveillance.
- Private Transport Vehicles Surveillance (travel services, taxicabs, bus lines, etc.)
- Companies:
