  • Page 62: In7000 Video Content Analysis

    iN7000 Video Content Analysis Figure 5-42 : Video Content Analysis This module analyzes video content for counting objects, detecting loitering objects, detecting objects en- tering or leaving an area. The module has 2 sub-modules: Object Tracker and Event Detection. Object tracking is a technology to track objects in video streams.
  • Page 63 Import Notes About Video Content Analysis Please take note of the following before you use this module or decide to buy the Video Content Analysis Edition: - Video content analysis is a sophisticated technology for the general video security environment. Impath cannot guarantee the accuracy of the results under field settings.

  • Page 64: Object Tracker

    Object Tracker Object tracking is the heart of almost all event detectors. The proper setting of Object Tracker is one of the most important factors for the accuracy of the results. You should study every single setting carefully and experiments for tuning the settings to produce the best possible result. You can create multiple Object Trackers for multiple event detectors.
  • Page 65 Figure 5-44 : Object Tracking Parameters - Object maximum allow hidden time: this value sets the maximum time that an object disappears (e.g. hide behind a building or tree). If an object has disappeared for this time, it is considered immobile. - Hidden-object life-time threshold: object tracker can remember objects that disappear.

The audio and video compression codecs are WMA Pro and WVC1 respectively(a VC-1 compliant codec, which is a direct competitor to H.264. You can find more information by searching the keyword ‘VC-1’...
  • Page 91 Figure 5-76: Same as Storage - Use existing compressed stream: Depending on your capture source, there may be already com- pressed video/audio stream. For example, source from network camera typically has a compressed MJPEG stream in which case you can save a compressor. Using existing compressed stream is not man- datory.
  • Page 92 - Pre-compress Cache Size: the size of the buffer that stores uncompressed data. A large value con- sumes more system memory, while a small size can render the “Pre-event time” ineffective. You should calculate an appropriate size according to the frame rate and resolution of your capture source. For ex- ample, a video capture source with resolution 640x480 at 30fps and I420 pixel format requires 640x480x30x1.5 = around 13 MB per second.
