Camera requirements for the VI abandoned objects detection module are given in the table:

Camera
  • Pitch angle of the camera optical axis relative to the horizontal plane:
    • at least 15 degrees for the inclined method of placement
    • from 80 to 100 degrees for placement on ceiling
  • Resolution is from 640x360 to 1920×1080 pixels
  • Resolution can be:
    • lower for close-up scenes (2–7 meters for cameras with standard focal length) without loss of recognition quality 
    • higher for scenes far from camera (from 10 meters)
  • FPS is at least 25
  • Color image only
Lighting
  • Lighting in the scene is from 100 to 1000 lux
Scene and camera angle
  • Shooting distance is from 5 to 30 meters
  • Density of people flow is no more than one person per square meter
  • Volume of the abandoned object is from 3 cubic decimeters
  • Background texture: moving, random and inhomogeneous background with contrast variations from 0.2 to 0.8
Object images
  • For abandoned objects, the optimum density is 100 pixels per meter
  • Maximum signal-to-noise ratio (without the function of automatic signal amplification) is at least 42 dB
  • Resolution of the video image is at least 1280x960 pixels
  • Image isn't noisy and isn't distorted by artifacts of the compression algorithm
  • Distortion is no more than 10% (at the edges of the frameat a distance of one third from its center in width, height and diagonal)
