Traffic Density Heat Map

The Traffic Density Heat Map is designed for the visualization of the traffic intensity in the different areas of the frame. The heat map is generated by the way of summing up the time during which the movement is observed in the selected point. As a result, the areas where the objects are staying during the longest period of time are highlighted.

Capabilities of the module

For the visualization, the color scale is used: the color areas hued depending on the intensity of traffic are superimposed on the video image as a semitransparent layer. For example, when using the four-color scale, the area with high traffic density is colored red, with low traffic density – blue; the green and yellow areas are transitional.

The module can be used for determining the popularity of various locations in the shopping mall, to visualize the preferred routes of visitors or vehicles on the premises, for analyzing statistics of visits to various facilities etc.

There are three ways of using the heat maps:

• real time mode;

• report;

• superimposition of the heat map on the camera field of view on the facility plan.

In the real time mode, the areas of the frame where movement has been registered in the course of the last 10 minutes are displayed. In the report, the time interval is set during which the information regarding movement intensity in the frame will be analyzed. The heat map superimposition mode allows to generate the heat map not only in the frame, but also on the facility plan.

Details

For the correct operation of the module, it is required to properly place and set up the camera, enable and adjust the software motion detector and the module itself.
