Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An approach that evaluates an effectiveness of a monitoring system is provided. In one embodiment, there is a performance evaluation tool, including an evaluation component configured to receive visual media at a monitoring system monitored by a set of users, and evaluate a monitoring performance of the set of users in response to a simulated alert within the visual media. The performance evaluation tool further comprises an analysis component configured to predict an effectiveness of the monitoring system based on the performance of the set of users in response to the simulated alert within the visual media.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for evaluating an effectiveness of a monitoring system, comprising: receiving, via at least one computing device, visual media at a monitoring system monitored by a set of users; generating, via at least one computing device, a plurality of benchmark test cases for a same detected event captured within a same video sequence of the visual media, each of the plurality of benchmark test case comprising a different simulated visual alert generated in re…
