Camera requirements for abandoned objects detectionObject Tracker and its sub-tools


Note
titleAttention!

The Abandoned object detection can operate only with the basic Object tracker detection tool.

To configure Abandoned Before you create and configure the Abandoned object detection, do as followsthe following:

  1. Create the Object tracker detection tool and set its general parameters (see Configuring Object Tracker).
  2. Configure some parameters of the Object Tracker detection tool as follows:
  3. Select the Object Tracker object (1).

    Objects abandoned for 10 seconds or longer will be detected.

    In the Abandoned object detection sensitivity field (3), set the sensitivity for Abandoned object detection (2) and

    This parameter is used only for the Long-time abandoned object detection. It is recommended to select the parameter value starting from 15.

    To enable the Auto sensitivity (5), select Yes for the corresponding parameter.

    titleAttention!
    If auto sensitivity is enabled, sensitivity adjustments for moving and abandoned objects are not applied. To apply manual sensitivity adjustments,

    it is necessary to first disable the

    , select Yes for the corresponding parameter (6)

    in the range [1, 100].

    Info
    titleNote

    If you enable the Long-time abandoned object detection parameter (6) and the Neural network filter (see Setting general parameters of Tracker-based Scene Analytics detection tools), it can reduce the number of false positives during detection.

  5. Under the Object Tracker object, create the Abandoned object object (see Configuring detection tools and their sub-tools).

  6. To enable the Abandoned object detection sub-tool, do the following:

  7. Select object class (2).

  8. Select object color (3).
  9. Select object type (4):

    • Taken—the object that disappeared from the observed area and crossed its borders will be detected.

    • Abandoned—the object that appeared in the observed area and crossed its borders will be detected.

    • Any—both taken and abandoned objects will be detected.

  10. Specify the maximum height and width of the object (5)
  11. This parameter depends on the lighting conditions and should be chosen empirically. It is recommended to select the parameter value starting from 20.


  12. Save the detection tool parameters by clicking the Apply Image Added button.

To create the Abandoned object detection, below the Object Tracker detection tool, click Create...Abandoned Object.

By default, the detection tool is enabled and set to detect brought and abandoned objects.

If necessary, you can change the detection tool parameters. The list of parameters is given in the table:

the Object tracker detection tool and the Abandoned object sub-tool, the values of the maximum and minimum height and width of the object should be equal.

Object type

BroughtSelect a value if it is necessary to detect an object that has disappeared from the observed area and crossed its boundaries
Abandoned
Any

Select this value if it is necessary to detect both brought and abandoned objects

By default, the entire frame is a detection area. If necessary, in the preview window, set detection areas with the help of anchor points Image Added (see Configuring the Detection Zone).

Info
titleNote

For convenience of configuration, you can "freeze" the frame. Click the Image Added button. To cancel the action, click this button again.

The detection area is displayed by default. To hide it, click the Image Added button. To cancel the action, click this button again.

To save the parameters of the detection tool, click the Apply Image Added button. To cancel the changes, click the Cancel Image Added button.

The Abandoned object detection is now configured.
