The following table contains the requirements for cameras to enable the effective operation of the Visitors visitor counter:

Camera

:

resolution
  • Resolution: 720 х 576 (CIF4) or 360 х 288 (CIF1) pixel resolution. Using pixel resolutions higher than CIF4 do not lead to higher recognition accuracy
;
  • .
frames
  • Frames per second: 25
;
  • .
color
  • Color: color camera is obligatory
;
  • .
no
  • No camera jitter is allowed.

Illumination:

best
  • Best recognition results are achieved under moderate illumination. If the scene is under- or over-illuminated, the recognition accuracy may drop down
;
  • .
sharp
  • Sharp changes in illumination may lead to improper operation of analytics.

Scene and viewing angle:

vertically
  • Vertically downward position is the best for the purpose.  The closer to vertical, the more accurate counting
;
  • .
camera
  • Camera FOV dimensions: min. 2 x 2m, optimal 4 x 4m
;
  • .
the
  • The background must be primarily static and not undergo sudden changes
;
  • .
the
  • The counting area must not contain any moving objects except for humans
;
  • .
reflective
  • Reflective surfaces and harsh shadows from moving objects can affect the quality of analytics
;
  • .
leafage
  • Leafage, TV screens or any periodic object movement in the background may cause analytics glitches
;
  • .
if
  • If possible, avoid obstruction of the humans by static objects such as pillars, trees, etc.

Images of objects within the scene:

image
  • Image quality: the image must be clear and sharp with no visible compression artifacts
;
  • .
the
  • The allowable size of a person is described in
the

Other requirements:

the
  • The visitors must not move in a continuous flow; smaller groups of humans are counted correctly.
