General information
The scanning Scanning mode in Axxon One allows you to analyze can improve detection of small objects or areas that may have been missed by the detection tool due to their small size or distance from the camera.
In scanning mode, the Surveillance window is conditionally divided into several segments to improve decoding accuracy.
objects in areas far away from the camera. For example, when the camera is placed at a long distance and objects (such as people, smoke, fire) are small in the frame, scanning mode can improve detection.
In the scanning mode, the frame is divided into scanning windows for detection accuracy.
Scanning windows are Segments are conditionally selected parts of the frame that are analyzed separately and all together at the same time. Each scanning window analyzes a different part of the frame and detects events in it.
Scanning mode is available for the the fire and smoke detection, pose detection, Neurocounter, Neurotracker.
To configure the scanning mode, do the following:

Configuring the scanning mode
You can configure the scanning mode using the parameters of the corresponding detection tool. The list of required parameters and their values are presented in the table below.

and the required number of windows. For example, the real frame size is 1920×1080 pixels. To divide the frame into four equal windows, set the width of the scanning window to 960 pixels and the height to 540 pixels |

Recommendations for configuring the scanning mode
- Set the same values for the window height and scanning step, as well as the window width and scanning step.
- Set the optimal number of scanning windows—from four to eight.
- The number of windows will depend on specific purposes, quality of the original frame, capabilities of devices. If the original frame is of low quality or small size, a large number of windows won’t increase the detection accuracy, but can lead to false alarms or no detection.
- You must select the number of scanning windows experimentally.
- If you didn’t get the detection tool responses at the same values of window and step, you must experimentally reduce the scanning steps relative to the height or width.

Example of configuring the scanning mode
It is necessary to configure the scanning mode for the smoke and fire detection to detect smoke in the distance. If the actual frame size is 1920×1080 pixels, set the following values in the detection tool settings to divide the frame into four equal windows:
- Scanning window—Yes.
- Scanning window height—540.
- Scanning window width—960.
- Scanning window step height—540.
- Scanning window step width—960.
As a result, the frame

We recommend specifying the height and width of the scanning step according to the values of the height and width of the scanning window. |
For example, the real frame size is 1920×1080 pixels. To divide the Surveillance window into four equal segments, set the height of the window and the scanning step to 540 pixels and the width to 960 pixels. As a result, the window will be conditionally divided into four equal segments windows that will be analyzed separately and all together at the same time.
If smoke or fire is detected in any of these windows, the detection tool can trigger.
