The requirements for the cameras that will work with the Queue length detection module are listed in the following table.

Camera

  • Resolution: 720х576 (CIF4), using of 360х288 (CIF1) is acceptable; oversize images are reduces until CIF4.
  • Fps: not less than 6
  • Color: analytics works with grey and color images.
  • Camera must be rigidly fixed.

Lighting

  • The best working of detection is archived at medium lighting. Response to low (night) or over (flashing) lighting the quality of procedure working can be reduced.
  • Sharp changes of lighting can lead to short-time invalid analytics working.

Scene and camera angle

  • The best position – camera "looks" to the scene vertically down. The better this requirement, the carefully the received estimation.
  • Sizes of camera field of view: 3x3m is minimal (6x6 people), 4x4m is optimal (8x8 people), 8x8m is maximal (16x16 people).
  • Background is static and is not changed sharply.
  • Analytics can work inappropriately on specular surfaces and in case of sharp shadows from moved objects.
  • Analytics can work inappropriately in case of in the camera field of view there are periodic movements of background objects (trees, working TV, etc.)

Objects image

  • Image quality: the image is to be clear, without visible defects from reducing procedure.
  • Available size of a person: the area of a rectangle around the person as a percentage of the picture area is between 0.25% and 10%.
