By default, the detection tool detector is enabled and configured for operation. Depending on the required tasks, you must select a specific type of barcode for detection.

If necessary, you can change the settings of the detection tool detector parameters given in the table:

Decode key framesYesBy default, the Decode key frames parameter is enabled. In this case only key frames are decoded. To disable the parameter, select the No value in the corresponding field.
This parameter reduces the load on the Server, but at the same time the detection quality decreases. We recommend enabling this parameter for "blind" (without video image display) Servers on which you want to perform detection.
Note
titleAttention!

The Number of frames processed per second and Decode key frames parameters are interrelated.

If a local Client isn’t connected to the Server, the following rules work for remote Clients:

  • If the key frame rate is less than the value specified in the Number of frames processed per second field, the detection tool will work by key frames.
  • If the key frame rate is greater than the value specified in the Number of frames processed per second field, the detection will be performed according to the set period.

If a local Client is connected to the Server, the detection tool will always work according to the set period. After disconnecting the local Client, the above rules will be relevant again.

No
For the MJPEG codec decoding isn’t relevant, as each frame is considered as a key frame.

Select 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

Note
titleAttention!
  • 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 barcode of a certain type.
  • To ensure the correct operation of the neural network on Linux OS, the corresponding file must be located in the /opt/AxxonSoft/DetectorPack/NeuroSDK directory. 
  • If you use standard neural network (training wasn't performed in operating conditions), we guarantee the overall accuracy of 80-95% and the percentage of false positives of 5-20%. The standard neural networks are located in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\AxxonSoft\DetectorPack\NeuroSDK directory.
