Summary:
Different types of analytics allow you to configure one or more detection areas or lines, choose the types of objects to detect, and select additional related parameters. Analytics are active only if at least one area or one line is defined. You can enable multiple analytics at the same time, and this will not impact the performance of the system.
To optimize the performance of the AI Analytics Plugin for Wisenet WAVE VMS, download the Best Practice Guide. This document covers how to define detection areas and lines, enhance accuracy, and minimize false positives. It also offers practical insights and instructions to ensure your surveillance system is fine-tuned for maximum efficiency and reliability. This article provides instructions for configuring the AI Analytics Plugin.
Step By Step Guide:
Configuring the AI Analytics Plugin
Intrusion Detection
Intrusion detection identifies objects that move inside a defined intrusion area. The event is triggered for any new target object (person, vehicle, animal) entering the area.
To configure Intrusion detection:
-
From the Wisenet WAVE Client, navigate to Camera Settings > Plugins > WAVE AI > Intrusion detection.
-
In Intrusion area 1, click directly on the image and draw a custom polygon to encompass the area for intrusion detection.
-
Check the box next to Display on video to visualize the defined area on the live video stream.
-
Check the box next to the Object types to detect (Person, Vehicle, Animal, Unknown) for each defined area to detect.
- To add additional zones, click + Add and draw a polygon in Intrusion area 2 if necessary.
NOTE: The Intrusion event type has an additional setting (Starts or Stops). This
allows you to specify whether an event is triggered when an intrusion begins or
ends. This feature should only be used if you want to be notified when a person
or vehicle leaves the area.
Area Enter/Exit
Area enter/exit detects objects that enter/exit a defined area. This analytic can be employed to monitor objects detected in the area without triggering an intrusion event.
To configure Area enter/exit:
-
From the Wisenet WAVE Client, navigate to Camera Settings > Plugins > WAVE AI > Area enter/exit.
-
In Area 1, click directly on the image and draw a custom polygon to encompass the area for object detection.
-
Check the box next to Display on video to visualize the defined area on the live video stream.
-
Check the box next to the Object types to detect (Person, Vehicle, Animal, Unknown) for each defined area to detect.
-
Next to Trigger on, select which event to trigger (Enter & Exit, Enter only, or Exit only).
- To add additional zones, click + Add and draw a polygon in Area 2 if necessary.
Loitering
Loitering detects objects that stay in the defined area longer than a specified time. By default, an event will be triggered when a target object remains in the area for a duration of 10 seconds.
To configure Loitering:
-
From the Wisenet WAVE Client, navigate to Camera Settings > Plugins > WAVE AI > Loitering.
-
In Area 1, click directly on the image and draw a custom polygon to encompass the area for object detection.
-
Check the box next to Display on video to visualize the defined area on the live video stream.
-
Check the box next to the Object types to detect (Person, Vehicle, Animal, Unknown) for each defined area to detect.
-
Set the duration threshold for triggering events next to Alarm after x seconds of loitering.
- To add additional zones, click + Add and draw a polygon in Area 2 if necessary.
NOTE: The Loitering event type has an additional setting (Starts or Stops). This
allows you to specify whether an event is triggered when loitering begins or
ends. This feature should only be used if you want to be notified when a person
or vehicle leaves the area.
Object Guarding
Object guarding is the detection of objects being removed from a specified area, indicating potential theft.
To configure Object guarding:
-
From the Wisenet WAVE Client, navigate to Camera Settings > Plugins > WAVE AI > Object guarding.
-
In Area 1, click directly on the image and draw a custom polygon to encompass the area for object guarding.
-
Check the box next to Display on video to visualize the defined area on the live video stream.
-
Set the duration threshold for triggering events next to Alarm if object is missing more than x seconds.
- To add additional zones, click + Add and draw a polygon in Area 2 if necessary.
Object Left Behind
Object left behind is the detection of objects left in a specified area, indicating potential delivery or object abandonment.
Configure the Object left behind:
-
From the Wisenet WAVE Client, navigate to Camera Settings > Plugins > WAVE AI > Object left behind.
-
In Area 1, click directly on the image and draw a custom polygon to encompass the area to detect objects left behind.
-
Check the box next to Display on video to visualize the defined area on the live video stream.
-
Set the duration threshold for triggering events next to Alarm if the object is left behind more than x seconds.
- To add additional zones, click + Add and draw a polygon in Area 2 if necessary.
Crowding
Crowding detects when the number of objects within a defined area at any given time reaches a set threshold. For instance, it could be a useful feature to detect a sudden increase of people in a queue in front of an ATM or in a commercial environment.
To configure Crowding:
-
From the Wisenet WAVE Client, navigate to Camera Settings > Plugins > WAVE AI > Crowding.
-
In Area 1, click directly on the image and draw a custom polygon to encompass the area for object detection.
-
Check the box next to Display on video to visualize the defined area on the live video stream.
-
Check the box next to the Object types to detect (Person, Vehicle, Animal, Unknown) for each defined area to detect.
-
Specify the minimum number of objects required to trigger an event next to Alarm on crowd of x or more entities.
- To add additional zones, click + Add and draw a polygon in Area 2 if necessary.
Tailgating
Tailgating detects if more than one object crosses a virtual line during a predefined time interval. This feature could be useful for detection of multiple individuals or vehicles following each other in close proximity to gain access to a secured area.
To configure Tailgating:
-
From the Wisenet WAVE Client, navigate to Camera Settings > Plugins > WAVE AI > Tailgating.
-
Click directly on the image to create a virtual line.
a. Click once to create new points of the line, then click on the last point to end it.
b. Click the arrows to define the direction of movement for object tracking.
-
Check the box next to Display on video to visualize the defined area on the live video stream.
- To add additional lines, click + Add and draw a line in Line 2 if necessary.
Line Crossing
Line crossing detects objects that cross a defined line. You have the option to create a multi-segment virtual line. This feature allows you to select the direction in which you intend to monitor the movement of objects.
To configure Line crossing:
-
From the Wisenet WAVE Client, navigate to Camera Settings > Plugins > WAVE AI > Line Crossing.
-
Click directly on the image to create a virtual line.
a. Click once to create new points of the line, then click on the last point to end it.
b. Click the arrows to define the direction of movement for object tracking.
-
Check the box next to Display on video to visualize the defined area on the live video stream.
-
Check the box next to the Object types to detect (Person, Vehicle, Animal, Unknown) for each defined area to detect over line crossing.
-
To add additional lines, click + Add and draw a line in Line 2 if necessary.
Creating Rules
To create rules:
- Right-click an open video panel to see the menu options and select Camera Rules.
-
Click +Add.
-
Complete the following fields:
When - select Analytics Event
At - select the relevant camera(s)
Event Type - enter the event type to be triggered
Do - specify actions such as desktop notification, email, sound, or bookmark creation. Bookmarks allow you to navigate the recording back in time to the exact moment when the event occurred (the video recording function should be enabled)
