To configure NeuralcounterNeurocounter, do the following:

1. To record mask (highlighting of recognized objects) to the archive, select Yes for the corresponding parameter (1).

2. If the If a camera supports multistreaming, select the stream to apply the detection tool to (1for which detection is needed (2). 
   
3. Select a processing resource for decoding video streams (3). 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.
4. If you need to outline the recognized objects in the preview window, select Yes in for the Detected Objectsobjects parameter (24).
5. Set the recognition threshold for objects in percent (35). If the recognition probability falls below the specified value, the data will be ignored. The higher the value, the higher the accuracy — for the cost of sensitivity.

   Select the neural network file (4).

   title Note
   For correct neural network operation under Linux, place the corresponding file in the /opt/AxxonSoft/AxxonNext/ directory.

6. Set the minimum number of frames with excessive numbers of objects for Neuralcounter to trigger (8). The value should be within the range of 2 – 20.
7. recognition accuracy, but some triggers may not be considered.

8. Set the frame rate value for the detection tool to process per second (6). This value should be in the range [0,016; 100]

   Set the interval between the analyzed frames in seconds (5). The value should be within the range of 0,05 – 30

   .

   Info
   title Note
   The default values (3 output frames and 1 secondFPS) indicate that Neuralcounter Neurocounter will analyze one frame every second. If Neuralcounter Neurocounter detects more objects than the specified threshold value number of objects (or more) on 3 frames, then it triggers.

   
   

9. Set

   Select the

   recognition threshold for objects in percent (5). If the recognition probability falls below the specified value, the data will be ignored. The higher the value, the higher the accuracy — for the cost of sensitivity.
10. Set the detection threshold value for minimum number of objects in zone (7).
11. Select the processor for the neural network - CPU, one of GPUs, or Intel NCS (6, see Hardware requirements for neural analytics operation). 

12. processor for the neural network – CPU, one of NVIDIA GPUs or one of Intel GPUs (7, see Hardware requirements for neural analytics operation, General Information on Configuring Detection). 

    Note
    title Attention!
    If you specify other processing resource than the CPU, this device will carry the most of computing load. However, the CPU will also be used to run Neurocounter.

    
    

    Note
    title Attention!
    It may take several minutes to launch the algorithm on NVIDIA GPU after you apply the settings. You can use caching to speed up future launches (see Configuring the acceleration of GPU-based neuroanalytics).

    
    

13. In the Object type field (11), select the object type for counting, or in the Neural network file field (8), select the neural network file.

    Note
    title Attention!
    To train your neural network, contact AxxonSoft (see Data collection requirements for neural network training). A trained neural network for a particular scene allows you to detect only objects of a certain type (e.g. person, cyclist, motorcyclist, etc.).  If the neural network file is not specified, the default file will be used, which is selected depending on the selected object type (11) and the selected processor for the neural network operation (7).

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

    
    

14. Set the triggering condition for Neurocounter:

    1. In the Number of alarm objects field (9), set the threshold value for the number of objects in FOV. 

    2. In the Trigger upon count field (12), select when you want to generate the trigger − when the number of objects in the detection area is greater or less than the threshold value. 

15. Set the minimum number of frames on which Neurocounter should detect objects in order to trigger (10). The value should be in the range [2; 20].

16. In the preview window, you can set the detection zones areas with the help of anchor points much like privacy masks in Scene Analytics detection tools (see Setting General Zones for Scene Analyticsanalytics detection tools). By default, the entire FoV FOV is a detection zonearea.

17. Click the Apply button.

It is possible to display the sensor and the number of objects in the controlled area in the video surveillance window on the layout. To configure this option, do the following:

1. Switch to the Layout Editing mode (see Switching to layout editing mode).
2. Place the sensor anywhere in FOV.

3. Customize the font. To do this, click the Image Added button.
4. Save the layout (see Exiting layout editing mode). As a result, the sensor and the number of objects will be displayed in the selected place:
