Shadow Filter
The counting line features a shadow filter which is designed to remove the effects of object
shadows affecting the counting algorithm. Shadows can cause inaccurate counting results by
making an object appear larger than its true size or by joining two or more objects together.
If shadows are causing inaccurate counting, the shadow filter should be enabled by selecting
the "Shadow Filter" check box for the line. It is recommended that the shadow filter only be
enabled when shadows are present because the algorithm can mistake certain parts of an
object for shadows and this may lead to worse counting results.
Calibration Diagnostics Mode
To enable the user to more accurately configure the calibration for the counting line, there is
a diagnostics feature which can be enabled to provide feedback of the counting results. To
enable this mode, select the "Metadata Format" ->"Counting Line Diagnostics" on the VCA
Advanced Settings page .
