Configuring the
...
detector
To configure Neurocounterconfigure the Neural counter detector, do the following:
- Go to the
Detection Tools tab- Detectors tab.
Below the required camera, click Create… → Category: Retail →
Neural counter.
By default, the detection tool detector is enabled and set to count the number of objects in a specified area using a neural network.
If necessary, you can change the detection tool detector parameters. The list of parameters is given in the table:
| Parameter | Value | Description |
|---|
| Object features |
| Record mask to archive | Yes | By default, the recording of the mask to the archive is disabled. To record the sensitivity scale of the |
detection tool | detector to the archive ( |
see detection tool | detector (mask)), select the Yes value |
| No |
| Video stream | Main stream | If the camera supports multistreaming, select the stream for which detection is needed |
| Other |
| Enable | Yes | By default, the |
detection tool | detector is enabled. To disable, select |
the Neurocounter detection tool | detector name or leave the default name |
| Decoder mode | Auto | Select a processing resource for decoding video streams. When you select a GPU, a stand-alone graphics card takes priority (when decoding with |

| - To train your neural network, contact AxxonSoft (see Data collection requirements for neural network training).

To ensure the correct operation of the neural network on Linux OS, the corresponding file must be located - If you use a 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.
- You cannot specify the network file in Windows OS. You must place the neural network file locally, that is, on the same server where you install Axxon One.
- For correct neural network operation on Linux OS, place the corresponding file locally in the /opt/AxxonSoft/DetectorPack/NeuroSDK directory

| If necessary, specify the class of the detected object. If you want to display tracks of several classes, specify them separated by a comma with a space. For example, 1, 10.

| Scanning window | Yes | If detection of small objects or objects in areas far away from the camera is ineffective, you can use the scanning mode. The scanning mode doesn’t provide absolute detection accuracy, but it can improve detection performance. To enable the scanning mode, select the Yes value (see Configuring the |
Scanning scanning mode) |
| No |
| Scanning window height | 0 | The height and width of the scanning window are determined according to the actual size of the frame and the required number of windows. For example, the real frame size is 1920×1080 pixels. To divide the frame into four equal windows, set the width of the scanning window to 960 pixels and the height to 540 pixels |
| Scanning window step height | 0 | The scanning step determines the relative offset of the windows. If the step is equal to the height and width of the scanning window respectively, the segments will line up one after another. Reducing the height or width of the scanning step will increase the number of windows due to their overlapping each other with an offset. This will increase the detection accuracy, but will also increase the CPU load. | Note |
|---|
| The height and width of the scanning step must not be greater than the height and width of the scanning window—the |
|
detection tool will not detector won't operate with such settings. |

Configuring the Neural counter detector is complete. It is possible to display the sensor and the number of objects in the monitored area in the Surveillance window on the layout (see see Displaying the number of detected objects).
Example of configuring
...
the Neural counter detector for solving typical tasks
By default, the Neurocounter Neural counter is set to detect objects with a speed less than 0.3 m/s:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|
| Other |
| Number of frames processed per second | 1 |
Advanced settings
|
| Number of measurements in a row to trigger detection | 3 |
| Neural network file | Path to the *.ann neural network file. You can also select the Object type valuethe value in the Detection neural network parameter. In this case, this field must be left blank |
| Basic settings |
| Detection threshold | 30 |
To solve tasks in which object speed differs from 0.3 m/s, you must increase Number of frames processed per second or/and decrease Number of measurements in a row to trigger detection. You must select the values empirically depending on the task conditions.
