By default, the detection tool is enabled and set to detect the water level in the frame.

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

Frame size change1920

The analyzed frames

are scaled down to a specified resolution (

1920 pixels on the longer side) by default.

The following algorithm is used:

  1. If the longer side of the source image exceeds the value specified in

  1. the Frame size change field, it is divided by two.
  2. If the resulting resolution falls below the specified value,

...

  1. the algorithm stops and this resolution will be used further.
  2. If the resulting resolution still exceeds the specified

...

  1. value, it is divided by two

  1. until it is less than the specified resolution.

titleNote

For example, the source image resolution is 2048*1536, and the

...

specified value

is set to 1000. In this case, the source resolution will be

...

halved

...

two times (512*384), as after the first division, the number of pixels on the longer side exceeds the

...

specified value (1024 > 1000). If detection is performed on a higher resolution stream and detection errors occur,

...

we recommend reducing the compression.

Neural network file

Select a neural network file. The standard neural networks for different processor types are located in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\AxxonSoft\DetectorPack\NeuroSDK directory. You don't need to select the standard neural networks in this field, the system will automatically select the required one. If you use a custom neural network, enter a path to the file.

For correct neural network operation on Linux OS, place the corresponding file in the /opt/AxxonSoft/DetectorPack/NeuroSDK directory.

    Water

    The water level

    sensor

    indicator is

    shown

    displayed in the lower left corner. If the

    sensor

    indicator is green, the water level is below high and critical marks. If the

    sensor

    indicator is orange, the water level is at high mark, but below critical mark. A red

    sensor

    indicator means that water level is above critical mark.

    2. Specify a line to set the top limit for water level upon reaching as a limit, exceeding which the detection tool highlights will give a warning in the form of orange color of the sensor icon in the video surveillance Surveillance window with orange color.

Configuring the Water level detection tool Level Detection is complete.

When you have created a the detection tool, you can see a sensor on the layout in the video surveillance Surveillance window.

If the sensor icon is green Image Removed Image Added, the water level is lower than both critical and high marks. If the icon is orange Image Removed Image Added, the water level is above the high mark, but below the critical mark. A red icon Image Removed Image Added means that the water level is above the critical mark.

You can also add a numerical value of the water level to the video surveillance Surveillance window (see Configuring display of water level detection).
