This section contains an example of configuring Sony Ipela Embedded Analytics. When configuring the embedded analytics of other devices, you should use their descriptions in the interface of the software package or, for more detail, the official reference documentation for these devices.

To configure a Sony Ipela detection tool, you must perform the following steps:

  1. In the list of detection tools, highlight an Intelligent detection object (1).
  2. From the Detect list, select the desired detection mode: Motion or Abandoned object (2).
  3. If you selected motion detection (Motion in the Detect list), set the following parameters (2):
    1. To enable the mode in which the detection tool also responds to stopping, select Yes in the Respond to stopping list.
    2. In the Rest time field, indicate in seconds the rest time of an object after which the motion detection tool registers stopping (if you executed step 3.1). This value should be in the range [2, 60].
    3. In the Green threshold field, enter the saturation level of the green RGB component in the image of a moving object above which the detection tool is triggered. This value should be in the range [0, 99].
    4. In the Red threshold field, enter the saturation level of the red RGB component in the image of a moving object above which the detection tool is triggered. This value should be in the range [0, 99].
    5. In the Blue threshold field, enter the saturation level of the blue RGB component in the image of a moving object above which the detection tool is triggered. This value should be in the range [0, 99].

    The threshold saturation of the RGB component in the image of a moving object determines the sensitivity of the detection tool. It is advisable to change the saturation of all components at the same time (see steps 3.3 – 3.5)

  4. If you selected abandoned object detection (Abandoned object in the Detect list), set the following parameters (2):
    1. In the Start of detection field, indicate the length of time in standard units an object remains in view before it is detected. This should be selected empirically. This value should be in the range [3, 7].
    2. In the Detection time field, enter the rest time of an object in seconds, as counted from the beginning of detection (see step 4.1), after which it is considered abandoned. This value should be in the range [40, 43200].
    3. In the Realarm time field, enter in seconds the time since the last alarm about an abandoned object after which a repeat alarm is generated (assuming that such an event occurs). This value should be in the range [60, 21600].
    4. In the Release time field, enter the length of time an abandoned object remains in view above which it will be considered part of the background. In this case, alarm generation ceases. This value should be in the range [60, 43200].
  5. In the Maximum height and Maximum width fields (2) enter the maximum height and width of a detectable object in pixels. The height value should be in the range [8, 480] and the width value should be in the range [8, 640].
  6. In the Minimum height and Minimum width fields (2) enter the minimum height and width of a detectable object in pixels. The height value should be in the range [8, 480] and the width value should be in the range [8, 640].
  7. Click the Apply button.

Configuration of the Sony Ipela embedded detection tool is now complete.
