Video stream requirements for the Water level detector

Image Camera requirements for the Water level detectiondetector

Hardware requirements for neural analytics operation

To configure the Water level detection detector, do the following:

  1. Go to the Detectors tab.

  1. Production Safety Water level detector.

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

If necessary, you can change the detector 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.
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).

...

titleNote

...

 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.

Info
titleNote

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

Note
titleAttention!

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%.

Basic settings
Maximum top value20

Specify the maximum top value of the measuring scale. The value must be in the range [-1000, 1000]

Minimum bottom value0

Specify the minimum bottom value of the measuring scale. The value must be in the range [-1000, 1000]

When you have created a detection toolthe detector, 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 yellow Image Removedorange 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 see Configuring display of water level detectionsensor).
