Interface description of Area editor window

Displays the information about the areas on top of a video image

Not used in this version

Note. It specifies the start time that will be used as the base for sending the timestamps. The frame timestamp is calculated as the TIME_STAMP = (START_TIME + FRAME_NUMBER * 1 / FPS), where FPS means “Frames per second”, and FRAME_NUMBER is the zero frame index

Enables / disables the freeway mode. Should be activated for a freeway where the vehicles are moving fast and non-stop

Enables / disables the video signal availability check

Displays the number of zones in the workspace

Deletes the current (highlighted in red marks) zone from the workspace

Enables/disables the processing of the selected zone

Enables/disables the vehicle direction check

• Hard - detection of vehicles will be limited to the cars that move in the right direction, or the cars that stopped in the zone
• Soft - maintains a high level of detection of vehicles that are moving in the wrong direction, but slightly weakens the detection
• Off - vehicle direction check is disabled

Allows specifying the number of vehicles that are "visually" in the zone, if you place them one after another. For detection of stopped cars usually a value of 1 is specified, and the zone of the corresponding size is automatically set, and the entire roadway is filled with these zones. As a result, it becomes possible to create wide, stretched zones that cover the whole or most of the lane compared to when you create several zones of the “single vehicle”.

• AutoDetect - automatic detection.
• 1 Car - 1 vehicle.
• 2 Cars - 2 vehicle.
• 3 Cars - 3 vehicle.
• 4 Cars - 4 vehicle.

It is used to configure the type of detection zone (to configure the response of the algorithm depending on the expected behavior pattern).

• Left turn - a significant amount of staying (waiting for the green traffic light) traffic is expected.
• Right Turn - (North America specifics) - minimum vehicle stop time, etc.
• Shoulder - not used in this version.

Note. The Shoulder parameter is used to configure “Roadside” type of detection zones (detection of vehicles that have stopped because of alleged accident)

Controls the shadow suppression algorithm

• Soft - soft shadow suppression
• Hard - hard shadow suppression
• Off - disables the shadow suppression algorithm

Enables/disables the visualization of cases when the vehicle moves in a direction totally opposite to the originally set direction (orange color)

Specifies the estimated number of vehicles that are "visually" placed in the zone. It is directly associated with the Cars Per Zone parameter.

Not used in this version

Note. Enables/disables the display of information and events based on whether the lane of the "Roadside" type is occupied for more than a certain number of seconds. This type of detection zone is suggested to be installed in the curb area if the analytics are required to detect the cases of roadside occupancy at the installation site of the detection zone by a car, presumably in an emergency.

Not used in this version

Note. It is directly associated with the Shoulder IsBusy parameter, and is used to set a time threshold (in seconds) to start sending messages.

Indicates the sensitivity level of the vehicle detection in the selected area.

Indicates the operation mode of vehicle detection

• Optimal (default) - provides the most balanced and accurate vehicle detection
• MinFD - provides a good level of vehicle detection, with less false triggerings
• MaxTD - provides the maximum level of vehicle detection, but sometimes it can produce additional false triggerings

Indicates the identifier of the lane associated with the selected zone. This information is used by the Intellivision vehicle detection module for better detection accuracy.

Indicates the time in minutes used to reset the zone if the zone is in the busy state longer than the specified time (default = 0, which means disabled)

Displays/hides the rectangle within which the statistics are calculated

Enables/disables the counting of the number of vehicles

Saves the current settings to the settings file in .json format, which then should be specified when configuring the Intellivision vehicle detection object (for details, see Setting up the IntelliVision vehicle detection parameters).

It is used to return to the Traffic Monitor window and start monitoring
