  • Page 4 VIVOTEK Overview The VIVOTEK SC8131 is a stereo camera that provides precise tracking and people counting functionality. The dual-lens stereo camera design eliminates the defects of single-lens cameras in video analysis applications. Unlike single-lens applications that are easily affected by lighting changes or shadows, this camera enables stereo visions that accurately tracks the 3D positions of objects moving across the field of view.

  • Page 13 VIVOTEK Considerations Note the following when planning the camera installation: 1. The installation site must be adequately lighted for optimal accuracy with video analysis. 2. It is preferred that the camera is mounted directly above the objects to be counted. Use tools such as a spirit level to ensure the camera is installed level.
  • Page 14 VIVOTEK 3. By building a 3D depth map from an overhanging position, the objects' height information can be acquired, and thus the drawbacks of 2D video counting can be eliminated. The silhouette of heads and shoulders and their relative depth information enable the camera to distinguish human activities from the background and other objects, such as shadows, shopping carts, and dogs.

Start point Detection line Detection area Object tracking line [45] H=181 Detected object Tracking end point The counting takes place when a moving object appears in the detection area and moves across the detection line.
  • Page 16 VIVOTEK 6. For counting to work properly, you should avoid having the view covering a large portion of walls as shown below. 6-1. Keep camera away from wall or other obstacles to optimize the effectiveness of FOV. 6-2. Select a location that can cover a longer object trajectories for better tracking results.
  • Page 17 VIVOTEK 8. An effective counting requires an object to be detected, and then moves across the detection line. Avoid setting the line too close to the edge of detection area. Not enough space to recognize objects..Detection line Detection area 9.
  • Page 18 VIVOTEK 10. Always configure the coverage of the detection area in that the complete silhouette of objects can be contained. If only part of the moving object is covered, the counting will fail. The entire object needs to appear in the detection area for the camera to acquire its height information.

  • Page 20 VIVOTEK 13. For Line Crossing and countng configuration, unnecessary objects should be avoided. A door, a floating curtain, and moving objects such as an escalator can cause mistakes with calculation. 14. If the VAST software is used for accumulating counting results, set the counting event notification option to the "real-time"...
  • Page 21 VIVOTEK Patterned surface - Some other possible sources of interference may include: shadows on the wall, mirrored object image on the reflective surface. Check if the region exclusive setting should be applied when the Depth view video shows flickering white noises in some regions, or, object trajectories are likely to be trapped within these regions.
  • Page 22 VIVOTEK Stitching Considerations The following applies when stitching multiple SC8131 cameras: 1. The Stitching configuration takes place on the Master camera. 1 Master camera with up to 6 Slave cameras can form a stitiching configuration. 2. All Master and Slave cameras in a Stitching configuration should be running the same firmware.
  • Page 23 VIVOTEK 7. Once the Stitching configuration is done, the positioning order of peer cameras will be fixed, and you cannot change their Stitching order unless you unstitch them. Consider the following when stitching multiple cameras to form a large virtual floor plan: Height (cm)* Dist.
  • Page 24 VIVOTEK Tilt Considerations 1. The camera should be mounted in a downward looking orientation. The tilt and yaw should be level so that it is looking straight down. In some cases, the camera may need to be installed to count the people passing the front of a store's entrance.

  • Page 69 VIVOTEK Note that there are 4 Analytics types: 1. Counting, 2. Zone detection, 3. Flowpath, 4. Queue Analysis. The configurable parameters are different for these 4 types. • Direction: Select Counting paramters as In, Out, or In & Out. If not selected, e.g., selecting the In count only, only the In counts will be recorded and reported.
  • Page 70 VIVOTEK Analytics rules - Zone detection (2nd type) Zone counting: Records the time and quantity as people enter, leave, and waiting in the zone. Applications: To analyze how many people enter a certain area of a store. To communicate how many people frequent a retail counter.
  • Page 71 VIVOTEK The statistics in zone detection reports are described as follows: Report tag name Description Inward count Number of objects which went inward in aggregation time. Sum Outward duration Sum of dwell time for objects that left the zone before the end of aggregation time.
  • Page 72 VIVOTEK Analytics rules - Flow Path Counting (3rd type) • Counting rules: The Counting rule configuration enhances count accuracy with configurable preferences if people linger or make U turns in the FOV. One presumption is that a moving object must stay within the FOV during its movement for the Counting modes to take effect.
  • Page 73 VIVOTEK 1. Objects Entering from the "In" side: Count Include U turn Exclude U turn from outside (After exit) (First pass) Count Include U turn Exclude U turn from outside (After exit) (First pass) 2. Objects Entering from the "Out" side:...
  • Page 74 VIVOTEK The "Include U turn from the the out side" mode applies when in a crowded, confined area, such as the area near the a bus door. People may gather near the door without leaving the FOV, while it is still necessary to count the number of people moving In or Out of the vehicle.
  • Page 75 VIVOTEK During the transition stage (from close to open), objects in a specific area will be considered as already been counted as the "In" count. When they leave the area, they will be counted as "Out." Sensitivity of the area near the vehicle door will be raised, since the traveling distance for people who have been there may be short.
  • Page 76 VIVOTEK 3-3-2. Analytics Rules - How to Draw a Flowpath Flow path is another detection rule type. When passengers pass along the flow path, the camera will record the event and immediately update the counting report on the Liveview page.
  • Page 77 VIVOTEK Because the counting rule of Flow path is based on the entering point and the leaving point of one tracked object and the shape of the flow path scheme, it is important to configure the flow path rule carefully depending on the monitored scene. The following are the...
  • Page 78 VIVOTEK 3-3-3. Passer-by Counting (4th type) The configuration of Passer-by Counting is similar to the flowpath configuration as previously described. An additional Passer-by Area is configurable if this counting mode is selected. To configure the Passer-by counting: 1. Enter a comprehensive name for the configuration, such as Queue_detect1.
  • Page 79 VIVOTEK 3-3-4. Queue Analysis (5th type) Queue Analysis rovides a count of people waiting in line and the duration of time of their wait. To configure the Queue Analysis: 1. Enter a comprehensive name for the configuration, such as Queue_detect1.
  • Page 80 VIVOTEK The configuration criteria are listed below: 1. The Service zone should be used to cover the area right in front of the counter. The zone should cover the maneuver of one person. 2. The Queue direction box should have its arrow marks pointing the service provider.
  • Page 81 VIVOTEK Queue analysis delay: Start analysis after seconds: This threshold applies when 1 person is already standing in the Service zone, and the other enters the Queue area. Stop analysis after seconds: The threshold applies when one leaves the Queue or Service zone.
  • Page 82 VIVOTEK Note that if no one stands in the Service zone, the Length (People) count will not start even when there are people standing in the Queue box area. This situation may indicate that there is no service provider sitting behind the counter.
  • Page 83 VIVOTEK 3-4. Event Rules With the counting rules set up, you can configure a specific rule to be delivering a triggering condition to a receiver. For example, an event can be delivered when the number of counts exceeds a preset number. You will then know the status, say, when the number of remaining people in a building is larger than a preset number.
  • Page 84 VIVOTEK One example is to configure a zone alarm event if a specific area is populated by more than one people, such as an area in front of an ATM. You can also select the Maximum, the Minimum, and the Average waiting duration for applications such as improving the efficiency of the checkout area.

Overview For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, the Network Camera/Video Server can be easily integrated through URL syntax. This section specifies the external HTTP-based application programming interface. The HTTP-based camera interface provides the functionality to request a single image, control camera functions (PTZ, output relay etc.), and get and set internal parameter values.
  • Page 207 VIVOTEK 3. General CGI URL Syntax and Parameters CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other separators. When the CGI request includes internal camera parameters, these parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the camera or video server.
  • Page 208 VIVOTEK 5. Get Server Parameter Values Note: The access right depends on the URL directory. Method: GET/POST Syntax: http://<servername>/cgi-bin/anonymous/getparam.cgi?[<parameter>] [&<parameter>…] http://<servername>/cgi-bin/viewer/getparam.cgi?[<parameter>] [&<parameter>…] http://<servername>/cgi-bin/operator/getparam.cgi?[<parameter>] [&<parameter>…] http://<servername>/cgi-bin/admin/getparam.cgi?[<parameter>] [&<parameter>…] Where the <parameter> should be <group>[_<name>] or <group>[.<name>].
