VCA with neural networks (GPU)Yes

Axxon Next, Intellect

Object trajectories detection tool (VMDA) based on neural network in Axxon Next and Intellect.

Video card requirements:

  • minimum 2 GB of memory;
  • Compute Capability 3.0 or later. Please check the Compute Capability version of the video card on the manufacturer's page.

For each track, one image per second is sent to neural network for classification.

  • The NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 video card is capable of processing about 70* classifications** per second.
  • The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 video card is capable of processing about 220*** classifications per second.
  • The NVIDIA Tesla P40 video card is capable of processing about 122**** classifications per second.
  • The Intel Neural Compute Stick 1 (movidius I) is capable of processing about 58***** classifications per second.

  • The Intel Neural Compute Stick 2 (movidius II) is capable of processing about 200***** classifications per second.

Several video cards can be in use in one system.

For example, if you need to track 9 persons per second on 10 cameras, GeForce GTX 1070 or similar video card is suitable.

Up to two Intel Neural Compute Stick can be in use in one system.

VCA (Axis ACAP)-Axxon Next, IntellectFor Axis IP-devices only. This is an AxxonSoft Video Content Analytic (VCA) detection tool built into Axis device. See also AxxonSoft tracking in Axis devices (Intellect) or AxxonSoft tracking in Axis devices (Axxon Next).The detection tool performs calculations using camera resources, and therefore has low hardware requirements.


* - The results are given for Core i5-3570 (3400 MHz) CPU and may vary depending on the CPU installed. For example, the Xeon Gold 6140 (2300 MHz) CPU allows 95 classifications** per second.

** -1 classification per second is 1 object detected on video. For example, if average of 9 moving objects are simultaneously present on video from one camera, and there are 5 cameras in the system, use video card allowing 45 classifications per second.

*** - The results are given for the Core i7-8700 (3200 MHz) CPU and may vary depending on the CPU installed.

**** - 360 classifications per second were achieved in test utility on the 2x Intel Xeon Gold 6140 platform. In Axxon Next, up to 122 classifications per second were possible with 90% CPU utilization.

***** - The results are given for the Core i7-3770 (3400 MHz) CPU and may vary depending on the CPU installed.

Platforms calculator does not check if specified parameters match detection tools requirements for cameras. For instance, if specified fps is lower than that required for detection tool to operate, then platforms will be calculated but the calculated platform won’t suit the detection tool requirements.

The requirements of detection tool for cameras are specified in the documentation – see AxxonSoft documentation repository.
