Video stream and scene requirements for the Crowd estimation VA

Image requirements for the Crowd estimation VA

Hardware requirements for neural analytics operation

To configure the Crowd estimation VATo create the detection tool, do the following:

  1. Go to the
  2. Detection Tools
  3. Detectors tab.
  4. Below the required camera, click Create… Category: Retail Crowd

  5. Estimation
  6. estimation VA.

By default, the detection tool detector is enabled and set to count crowds of people.

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

Decode key framesYes

By 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.

For the MJPEG codec decoding isn’t relevant, as each frame is considered as a key frame.

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.

When you select a GPU, a stand-alone graphics card takes priority (when decoding with
