Object Classification and Counting report

The representation of the Object Classification and Counting report depends on the type of counting:

  • Counting objects in area: The count of objects within the area.

  • Line intersection: The count of objects that crossed the line in a specified direction. The following parameters will be displayed:

  • Total count of objects: Objects that have crossed the line since the start of counting or since the last time the counters were reset.

  • Change in the number of objects: Objects that have crossed the line at each time interval equal to the report plotting step.
