Configuring the People counter detection module

The People counter detection module can be configured using the System settings menu, on the Hardware tab, on the People counter detection settings panel, using the Camera settings.

The People counter detection module is configured as follows:

1. Go to the People Counter Detection settings panel.
   
2. Click the Settings button. The Detection settings window will open.
   
3. Specify the area of interest and the approximate size of people in the video image:
   1. Click the Stop video button to capture the video image (1).
   2. Click the Area of interest button (2).

   3. Using the left mouse button, select the four corners of the area on the captured video image (3) to be analyzed. Only one area may be so designated. If a second area is specified, then the first area will be deleted.

      Note

      To remove a selected area, click the button next to the Area of interest button.

      Note

      The area of interest is divided into two sectors—1 and 2. If an object moves from sector 1 to sector 2, it is logged as the entry of a visitor. If the visitor moves from sector 2 to sector 1, it is logged as an exit.

      

   4. Set the required size, shape and position of the sectors in the area of interest by moving their boundaries (1).
   5. If you want to swap sectors 1 and 2, click the Change sectors button (2).
4. Set the approximate person size as follows:
   1. Click the Size of man button (3).

   2. On the captured video image, set the approximate person size. To do this, use the left mouse button to select a rectangular area (4).

      Note

      To remove the person size, click the button next to the Size of man button.

      

5. Setting the module parameters:
   1. Go to the Parameters tab in the Detection settings window (1).
      
   2. In the Frames processed per second (0.016-100) field (2), set the number of frames per second that will be processed by the detection tool.
   3. Set the Reduce large resolution checkbox to create and process the new frame consisting of even lines of the initial frame (3).
6. Click the OK button (4).

Configuring the People counter detection module is complete.
