DSP processor to analyze an external video camera, with video encoding and transmission over a network. -
Page 11: Overview
The logical architecture can be broken down as follows: 2.3.1. iSense iSense analyzes video frames in order to detect, track and count cars or people by their motion in to, or out of, the designated regions. 2.3.2. Count Watch DB Writer The Count Watch DB Writer receives the counting data from VDUs and stores the data in the Count Watch Database. -
Page 12: Count Watch Database
Overview 2.3.3. Count Watch Database The Count Watch Database is based on Microsoft SQL technology and stores all the counting information received. 2.3.4. Count Watch Reports Count Watch Reports is a web based application for retrieving the counting data from the Count Watch Database using Internet Explorer. 2.3.5. -
Page 13: System Setup
The iSense device comes pre-installed with its own embedded software. The Installation CD with the Cortex software is provided for controlling and managing the iSense. If more than one iSense is incorporated in a multi-device configuration, control and management of all the devices is done from a single centralized location. -
Page 14: Installing The Hardware
System Setup Note: Regional and Language option should be set to English (United States). 3.3. AMERA NSTALLATION Correct camera positioning and installation is the key to obtaining good system performance as follows: 1. For accurate counting, minimum camera height (the distance from the bottom of the lens to the floor) should be 3 m or 10 ft, and the camera should point vertically downwards (see diagram below). -
Page 15: Led Display
1. Physically connect the iSense IM to the network using a network cable. The Ethernet port is located on the front panel of the iSense NG (see Fig. 2). 2. Physically connect up to four video cameras to the Video In Socket 1 located on the front panel of the iSense. -
