Tracking

The Tracking module allows to build trajectories of the objects that move in the fields of view of the cameras, track the crossing of lines by these objects in one or both directions, monitor the presence of the objects in the zones of arbitrarily set shapes, and also filter alarm events by object type. At that, the monitored lines and zones as well as the objects’ trajectories can be shown on the screen in real time, and the objects themselves can be highlighted by the rectangles of various colors. All the events of the module are recorded in the event log.

Capabilities of the module

Depending on the settings, the module can track:

• any moving objects;

• objects of certain categories:

  • People

  • Animals

  • Vehicles by type: Passenger cars, Buses, Trucks, Motorcycles.

Moreover, it is possible to set up the tracking of objects of a certain range of dimensions.

Warning

Starting with version 3.5 of Eocortex, the Tracking, Search for objects and Uniform Detector modules running on the same camera share the processor and video card resources. This reduces the load on the server.

For the most efficient sharing of resources, it is recommended to set the same operating mode for the camera in the settings of these modules: either using a video card or without using a video card.

Warning

To track people, vehicles and animals, it is required to install the Eocortex Neural Networks software package; a video card with the parameters matching the module’s requirements is also necessary.

The approximate accuracy of determining the types of transport:

• Passenger cars ~95%;

• Buses ~80%;

• Trucks ~70%;

• Motorcycles ~90%.
