Configuring the Neurotracker module

The Neurotracker software module is configured on the Neurotracker object settings panel. This object is created under the Camera object on the Hardware tab of the System settings window.

The Neurotracker software module is configured as follows:

1. Go to the Neurotracker object settings panel.
   
2. Set the Generate event on appearance/disappearance checkbox (1) if it is necessary to generate the event when the track appeared/disappeared.
3. Set the Show objects on image checkbox (2) if it is necessary to highlight the detected object with a frame in the Monitor interface object window.

4. Select the neural network file with the tracking model (4).

5. In the Detection threshold: 0..100 field (5), specify the objects detection threshold — an integer value within the range from 0 to 100.

   Note

   The objects detection threshold is determined experimentally. The lower the detection threshold, the more false triggerings there might be. The higher the detection threshold, the less false triggerings there might be, however, some useful tracks might be skipped.

6. In the Frame rate limit field (6), specify the number of frames per second to be analyzed by the neural network. All other frames will be interpolated. The higher the specified value, the more accurate the tracking, but the higher the CPU load.

7. In the Device drop-down list (7) select the device where the neural network will operate.

8. Set the monitoring area on the video image:

   1. Click the Setup button (11). The Detection settings window will open.
      

   2. Click the Stop video button (1) to capture a video frame.
   3. Click the Area of interest button (2).
   4. Set the area in which objects will be detected (3).
   5. Click OK (4).

9. You can use the neural filter to sort out video recordings featuring selected objects and their trajectories. For example, the neural tracker detects all freight trucks, and the neural filter sorts out only video recordings that contain trucks with cargo door open. To set up a neural filter, do the following:

   1. Set the Enable filtration checkbox (1).

   2. Similarly to point 4, click the button (2) and open the neural filter file in the standard Windows box that opens.

   3. Similarly to point 7, from the Device drop-down list (3), select the device on which the neural filter will operate.
      

10. Click the Apply button (12).

    Note

    • If necessary, create and configure the NeuroTracker VMDA detection tools on the basis of the Neurotracker object. The procedure of creating and configuring the NeuroTracker VMDA detection tools is similar to creating and configuring the VMDA detection tools for a regular tracker. The only difference is that it is necessary to create the NeuroTracker VMDA detection tools on the basis of the Neurotracker object, and not the Tracker object (for details, see Creating and configuring VMDA detection).
      
    • If it is necessary to periodically generate the events containing the number of objects received from the neurotracker, then create and configure the neurotracker track counters (see Configuring the neurotracker track counter).

The Neurotracker software module configuration is complete.
