Frame size change1920

The analyzed frames are scaled down to a specified resolution (1920 pixels on the longer side) by default. The value must be in the range [640, 10000]. The following algorithm is used:

  • If the longer side of the source image exceeds the value specified in the Frame size change field, it is divided by two.
  • If the resulting resolution falls below the specified value, the algorithm stops, and this resolution will be used further.
  • If the resulting resolution still exceeds the specified value, it is divided by two until it is less than the specified resolution.
Info
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.

GDPR policy-

By default, on the layout and in the archive, the characters of a license plate are completely hidden "GDPR ON". To display the characters of a license plate, you must enter a value:

"-"—hide all characters (default value),

" (blank field of a parameter value)"—show all characters,

"N-"—hide the first N characters,

"-N"—hide the last N characters,

where N is the number of characters

Minimum recognition quality, in %80Specify the minimum quality of license
plates
plate recognition as a percentage. The higher the minimum recognition quality, the fewer false
alarms
events. The value must be in the range [0, 100]
Basic settings
Algorithm for detecting vehicle directionBy LP coordinatesThe By LP coordinates
algorithm
algorithm is used by default. It works as follows: if the coordinates of the vehicle license plate shift from top to bottom (the vehicle moves towards the camera) and if the coordinates of the vehicle license plate shift from bottom to top (the vehicle moves away from the camera). Select the By LP scale change parameter if in the Surveillance window, the scale of the vehicle license plate increases (the vehicle moves towards the camera) and if the scale of the vehicle license plate decreases (the vehicle moves away from the camera)
