What is intelligent video analysis: border crossing, area intrusion, items left behind
Introduce the principles and applicable constraints of common intelligent analysis algorithms, and explain why "algorithm capability" does not equal "actual effect".
Common algorithms
| Algorithm | Detection content | Typical scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-border detection | The target crosses the set virtual line/trip wire | Perimeter and prohibited area |
| Regional invasion | Target enters designated area | Danger zone, no-stay zone |
| Items left/taken | Objects added or disappeared in the area | Station, exhibition hall, machine room |
| Gathering of people | The number of people in the area exceeds the limit | Square, entrance and exit, campus |
| Loitering detection | The target stays in the area for timeout | ATM, important entrance |
| Identification of safety helmets/work clothes | Whether designated equipment is worn | Construction sites and factories |
| Fall detection | Sudden posture and not getting up for a long time | Corridor outside nursing home and bathroom |
What the effect depends on
Algorithmic capability is only the basis, and the actual effect is mainly determined by the following factors:
- Target pixel size: The target must be at least 40×40 pixels in the screen. If it is too small, the detection rate will significantly decrease.
- Installation Angle: When the depression angle is too large (>45°), the targets will seriously block each other and the detection rate will decrease.
- Light stability: Frequent light and shadow changes (tree shadows, car lights, water reflections) are the main source of false alarms.
- Rule area settings: If the area is too large and the boundary is close to the edge of the screen, false alarms will increase.
- Target density: When the crowd is highly dense, the detection accuracy will decrease significantly.
Deployment recommendations
- First use actual scene recording to verify the algorithm instead of just watching the demonstration video.
- Testing in different time periods: testing during the day, night, backlighting, rainy days, and peak hours.
- The rules area avoids trees, water, billboards and other easily moved areas.
- Link with the business system to clarify the handling process after the alarm, otherwise the alarm will be ignored.
- Reserve a tuning cycle, which usually requires 2 to 4 weeks of on-site iterations.
Reasonable expectations
Intelligent analysis is a auxiliary means rather than a replacement for manual work.Under the premise of standardized installation and sufficient tuning, Controlling false negatives to a low level and reducing false positives to an acceptable range are realistic goals; pursuing "zero false positives and zero false negatives" is not practical.
