To configure the Crowd estimation VATo create the detection tool, do the following:

  1. Go to the

  3. Detectors tab.
  4. Below the required camera, click Create… Category: Retail Crowd

  5. Estimation
  6. estimation VA.

By default, the detection tool detector is enabled and set to count crowds of people.

If necessary, you can change the settings of the detection tool detector parameters given in the table:

By default, the Decode key frames parameter is enabled. In this case only key frames are decoded. To disable the parameter, select the No value in the corresponding field.

This parameter reduces the load on the Server, but at the same time the detection quality decreases. We recommend enabling this parameter for "blind" (without video image display) Servers on which you want to perform detection.

For the MJPEG codec decoding isn’t relevant, as each frame is considered as a key frame.

The Number of frames processed per second and Decode key frames parameters are interrelated.

If a local Client isn’t connected to the Server, the following rules work for remote Clients:

  • If the key frame rate is less than the value specified in the Number of frames processed per second field, the detection tool will work by key frames.
  • If the key frame rate is greater than the value specified in the Number of frames processed per second field, the detection will be performed according to the set period.Mode the operation—CPU or NVIDIA GPU General information on configuring detection). Crowd Estimation VA .

    Decoder modeAuto

    Select a processing resource for decoding video.   When you select a GPU, a stand-alone graphics card takes priority (when decoding with NVIDIA Nvidia NVDEC chips). If there is no appropriate GPU, the decoding will use the Intel Quick Sync Video technology. Otherwise, CPU resources will be used for decoding

    Delayed start (s) (starting with Detector Pack 3.14)0

    Specify the time in seconds by which the detector start will be delayed after receiving the first frame. The delay will be applied randomly within the range from 0 to the specified value.

    The default value is 0, meaning the detector starts without delay.

    The optimal delay value depends on the configuration and the number of detectors. It is recommended to specify the delay value so that the number of seconds is not less than the number of detectors. The value must be in the range [0, 3600]
