To configure the PPE detection tool ( VL), do the following:

...

  1. Go to the Detection Tools tab.
  2. Below the required camera, click Create…  Category: Other  PPE detection VL.

By default, the detection tool is enabled and set to detect people who enter or stay in the protected area without the necessary equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE).

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

Decoder modeAutoSelect a processing resource for decoding video streams. When you select a GPU, a stand-alone graphics card takes priority (when decoding with 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

Number of frames processed per second1

Specify the number of frames that the neural network will process per second. If the detection tool recreates the track for the same object, which leads to incorrect counting, increasing the value can help eliminate false positives. The higher the value, the more accurate the tracking, but the higher the CPU load. The value must be in the range [0.016; 100].

Note
titleAttention!

To operate the detection in a "gateway", we recommend using the standard settings of the detection tool: 1 FPS and 10 FPS for output (see Functions of the PPE detection VL).

  • For convenience of configuration, you can "freeze" the frame. Click the Image Added button. To cancel the action, click this button again.
  • To hide detection area, 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 PPE detection VL will generate an event when a person is in the frame without the necessary equipment and personal protective equipment on the specified parts of the body or when equipment and personal protective equipment is improperly applied
