20. A method of learning events contained within a video image sequence, the method comprising: providing a computing system that is configured to receive the image sequence, the computing system programmed to: provide a behavioral analysis engine that is configured to learn new events contained within the image sequence, the behavioral analysis engine including an actor feature database, a frame feature database, and a programmable event library stored in a memory; initiate a training phase mode within the behavioral analysis engine and obtaining a feature vector including one or more parameters relating to an object disposed within the image sequence; analyze the feature vector to determine a number of possible event candidates; prompt a user to confirm whether a detected event candidate is a newly identified event; and store the new event within the event library if the detected event candidate is confirmed by the user.
