The Perspective enhances detection tools performance and helps evaluate real sizes of objects based on simplified calibration system.

Note
titleAttention!

If you use video cameras with strong perspective distortion (for example, fisheye), then object calibration will work incorrectly.

To configure the perspective, do the following:

  1. Select the Object tracker object and click the Image Removed button object.

  2. Select Yes in the Object calibration option (1).

  3. In the Leveling rod height field (2), enter the height of the calibration object on the video image in decimeters.

  4. Click the Image Added button in the preview window.

      Meet the following requirements when configuring the calibration rods:

      • rods should be evenly distributed throughout the frame: the larger the area they cover, the more accurate the calibration;
      • rods that are equally distant from the camera lens must be the same size;
      • all bases of the rods must be on the same plane (for example, the floor);
      • a rod should be exactly the same size as the object, which serves as a template for the calibration rod;
      • in complex scenes, it is recommended to add more than three rods, but no more than 10-15 rods per frame.
