Behavior Analysis

Public Configurations

Context

Principles

This intelligent service can be implemented:

  • On cameras

    Cameras perform intelligent analysis using its own algorithm, and report alarms and snapshots to the HWT-IVS1800. The HWT-IVS1800 stores and manages alarms and displays alarms on the client. Figure 4-114 shows the process.

    Figure 4-114 Implementation using a camera
  • On the HWT-IVS1800

    Cameras directly send video to the HWT-IVS1800. The HWT-IVS1800 performs intelligent analysis based on its own algorithms, stores and manages alarms, and displays alarms on the client. Figure 4-115 shows the process.

    Figure 4-115 Implementation using the intelligent storage device

Configuration Process

  • The behavior analysis function implemented on intelligent cameras can be configured on the LDU or in the camera web system.

    Figure 4-116 shows the configuration process on the LDU. For details about the configuration in the camera web system, see the product documentation of the corresponding camera.

    Figure 4-116 Configuration process
  • Behavior analysis using the HWT-IVS1800 intelligence can be configured only on the LDU. Figure 4-117 shows the process of configuring behavior analysis on the LDU.

      Table 4-98 Parameter/Button description

      Parameter/Button

      Description

      Button for enabling or disabling global behavior analysis configuration.

      Min Target

      Minimum resolution of an object that can be detected on video images in the CIF (352 x 288) resolution.

      No alarm is generated when the resolution of a detected object is less than the value of this parameter.

      Max Target

      Maximum resolution of an object that can be detected on video images in the CIF (352 x 288) resolution.

      No alarm is generated when the resolution of a detected object is greater than the value of this parameter.

      Target Detection Sensitivity

      Sensitivity for triggering target detection alarms.

      The options include lower, low, standard, high, and higher.

      • Higher sensitivity indicates a higher possibility of triggering alarms, which may lead to false alarms. For example, after you set high sensitivity for intrusion detection, a false alarm may be reported when a target passes by a sensitive area.

      • Lower sensitivity indicates a lower possibility of triggering alarms, which may lead to missing alarms. For example, after you set low sensitivity for tripwire crossing detection, an alarm may not be reported when a target passes one end of a tripwire.

      Max Objects

      Maximum number of objects for intelligent analysis. Set this parameter as prompted.

      Send only the first alarm of a single target

      Indicates whether to allow the camera to send the alarm only once for the same alarm event.

      Send Metadata

      The function is enabled by default.

      Indicates whether to send metadata updates. After this function is enabled, the camera will send metadata updates such as intelligent analysis rules and intelligent analysis results as well as live video to the upper-level video and image management platform. If the platform requests metadata streams, enable this function.

      Metadata sending panorama

      The function is enabled by default.

      Indicates whether to allow the camera to send the full image, object frame, and rule frame generated upon alarm occurrence as matadata to the upper-level video and image management platform. Then the platform can superimpose the object frame and rule frame on the full image.

      You are advised to enable this function in behavior analysis scenarios.

      Alarm sending panorama

      Indicates whether to allow the camera to send the full image as general metadata when an alarm is generated to the video security platform.

      Superimpose target frames on full images

      Indicates whether to allow the camera to send the full image, object frame, and rule frame generated upon alarm occurrence as matadata to the upper-level video and image management platform.

      You are advised to disable this function in behavior analysis scenarios.

      Shadow Removal Mode

      Mode in which the shadow is removed. The shadow generated when objects are moving affects the detection size. Set the parameter based on the site requirements.

      NOTE:
      • In a scenario with no shadow or small shadows, Weak shadow is recommended to ensure complete detection of objects.
      • In a scenario with obvious large shadows, Strong shadow is recommended to cut objects from shadows to make bounding rectangles closer to the object sizes or cut objects overlapped with shadows to separately display the objects.

      Background Update Frequency

      Speed of integrating an object into the background. A larger value indicates quicker object integration.

Abandoned Object Detection

Feature Description

Definition

The system automatically generates an alarm when an object is detected abandoned in a specified area. The system connects to cameras that support abandoned object detection to provide the following functions:

  • Allows users to set analysis parameters, including detection areas (rectangle or polygon).
  • Allows users to specify an acceptable object abandoned duration (10s to 300s). When the duration has elapsed, the system generates an alarm.
  • Allows users to superimpose analysis results on live or recorded video images with a rectangular box (different objects are marked with different rectangular boxes) and label the object that triggers the alarm on video images.
  • Allows users to record alarm information and trigger predefined alarm linkage actions.

Customer Benefits

The system automatically detects key information in video feeds through intelligent analysis, reducing labor costs and improving detection efficiency. Different intelligent analysis functions apply to different scenarios.

Application Scenario

  • This feature is applicable to places that are alert to abandoned objects.
  • This feature is applicable to scenarios where people may abandon their belongings, for example, shopping malls and campuses.

Tripwire Crossing Detection

Feature Description

Definition

The system generates an alarm when an object is detected crossing a tripwire from the specified direction in a specified area. The system connects to cameras that support tripwire crossing detection to provide the following functions:

  • Allows users to set tripwires and directions.
  • Detects and distinguishes multiple objects that cross tripwires, and generates alarms.
  • Allows users to superimpose analysis results on live or recorded video images with a rectangular box (different objects are marked with different rectangular boxes) and label the object that triggers the alarm on video images.
  • Allows users to record alarm information and trigger predefined alarm linkage actions.

Customer Benefits

The system automatically detects key information in video feeds through intelligent analysis, reducing labor costs and improving detection efficiency. Different intelligent analysis functions apply to different scenarios.

Application Scenario

This feature is applicable to places where irrelevant persons are not allowed to cross specified lines.
