Ganz GXi Series VCA Interface Manual V3.05.31.18 More Information For more information about the format of the metadata, please consult the VCAsys Metadata Format Manual. Stationary Object Hold-on Time The Stationary Object Hold-on Time defines the amount of time that an object will be tracked by the engine once it becomes stationary. Since objects which become stationary must be "merged" into the scene after some finite time, the tracking engine will forget about objects that have become stationary after the Stationary Object Hold-on Time. The default setting is 60 seconds. Tracking Options Minimum Tracked Object Size The Minimum Tracked Object Size defines the size of the smallest object that will be considered for tracking, in pixels. For most applications the default setting of 'Auto' is recommended as this allows the algorithm to automatically select the best value. In some situations, where extra sensitivity is required, the value can be manually specified. While lower values allow the engine to track smaller objects, it may be more susceptible to false detections. Display Options Minimum Alarm Object Display Time When an alarm is generated, the tracking display displays the object in red. After some time, the object displays fades back to yellow. This setting controls the time the object is displayed in red, before fading back to yellow. The default value is 2000 milliseconds. Minimum Object Display Time When an object is tracked by the engine, it is displayed on the tracking display. This setting controls the minimum time an object is displayed in the tracking display. This is so that objects that are tracked for a very short time are displayed adequately. The default value is 1000 milliseconds. Both options affect the web browser display and the burnt-in-annotation. Detection Point of Tracked objects For every tracked object, there is a point that we use to determine this object's position and decide whether this object triggers a rule. We call this point as detection point. There are 3 modes to define the detection point relative to the object: Default, Centroid and Midbottom. • Default - When user chooses this mode, VCAsys will automatically set the position of detection point. It chooses centroid if the camera is calibrated overhead, or Midbottom if the camera is calibrated side-on or uncalibrated. • Centroid - If user chooses this mode, VCAsys will force the detection point to be centroid. • Midbottom - If user chooses this mode, VCAsys will force the detection point to be Midbottom. 05-2018-A 109 | P a g e

Stationary Object Hold-on Time

The Stationary Object Hold-on Time defines the amount of time that an object will be tracked by the

engine once it becomes stationary. Since objects which become stationary must be "merged" into the

scene after some finite time, the tracking engine will forget about objects that have become stationary

after the Stationary Object Hold-on Time. The default setting is 60 seconds.

Tracking Options

Minimum Tracked Object Size

The Minimum Tracked Object Size defines the size of the smallest object that will be considered for

tracking, in pixels. For most applications the default setting of 'Auto' is recommended as this allows the

algorithm to automatically select the best value.

In some situations, where extra sensitivity is required, the value can be manually specified. While lower

values allow the engine to track smaller objects, it may be more susceptible to false detections.

Display Options

Minimum Alarm Object Display Time

When an alarm is generated, the tracking display displays the object in red. After some time, the object

displays fades back to yellow. This setting controls the time the object is displayed in red, before fading

back to yellow. The default value is 2000 milliseconds.

Minimum Object Display Time

When an object is tracked by the engine, it is displayed on the tracking display. This setting controls the

minimum time an object is displayed in the tracking display. This is so that objects that are tracked for a

very short time are displayed adequately. The default value is 1000 milliseconds.

Both options affect the web browser display and the burnt-in-annotation.

Detection Point of Tracked objects

For every tracked object, there is a point that we use to determine this object's position and decide

whether this object triggers a rule. We call this point as detection point. There are 3 modes to define the

detection point relative to the object: Default, Centroid and Midbottom.

•

Default - When user chooses this mode, VCAsys will automatically set the position of detection

point. It chooses centroid if the camera is calibrated overhead, or Midbottom if the camera is

calibrated side-on or uncalibrated.

•

Centroid - If user chooses this mode, VCAsys will force the detection point to be centroid.

•

Midbottom - If user chooses this mode, VCAsys will force the detection point to be Midbottom.
