The Perspective configuration enhances detection tools the performance and helps evaluate real sizes of the detectors and allows you to estimate the real size of objects based on a simplified calibration system.

Note
titleAttention!

If Correct operation of object calibration isn't possible if you use video cameras a camera with strong perspective distortion (for example, fisheye), then object calibration will work incorrectly.

To configure the perspective, do the following:

  1. Select the Object tracker

  2. object.
  3. .

  4. In the settings of the Object tracker (see Configuring the Object tracker):
    1. Select the Yes
  5. in
    1. value for the Object calibration
  6. option (1).
    Image Removed
    1. parameter.
    2. In
  7. the 
    1. the Leveling rod height
  8. field (2)
    1. parameter, enter the
  9. height
    1.  height of the calibration object on the video image in decimeters.
  10. Click
  11. In the preview window, click the Image Modified button
  12. in the preview window

  15. Visually specify the size of the same object in different
  16. areas
  17. parts of the
  18. field of view
  19. frame:
    • To create a

  20. calibration
    • leveling rod, add two anchor points by left-clicking

  21. on
    • the video image. 

    • Set at least three

  22. calibration rods which
    • leveling rods. The lower anchor points of any three rods must not be located on the same line (horizontal, vertical, slanting, and so on).

    • You can resize the rod by stretching its anchor

  23. points 
    • points Image Modified, and move it on screen using drag-and-drop.

    • Rods must be exactly the same size as the object, which serves as a template for a leveling rod. For example, a person's height can serve as a template:

  24. Meet
    • When you configure leveling rods, the following requirements

  25. when configuring the calibration rods
    • must be met:

      1. rods
  26. should
      1. must be evenly distributed throughout the frame: the larger
  27. the
      1. area they cover, the more accurate the calibration;
      2. rods that are equally distant from the camera lens must be the same size;
      3. all bases of the rods must be on the same plane (for example,
  28. the
      1. floor)
  29. ;a rod should be exactly the same size as the object, which serves as a template for the calibration rod
      1. ;
      2. in complex scenes,
  30. it is recommended to add
      1. we recommend adding more than three rods, but no more than 10-15 rods per frame.
