Video Content Analysis

The DigiEye VCA options are Video Analysis modules for Business and Security Intelligence that:

allow to respond in a targeted manner to specific needs for security and statistics

do not require any additional hardware besides DigiEye => the users only need to update the software and add the license that activates the

VCA functionalities on one or more video inputs!

can be activated on both analog and IP DigiEye video inputs

DigiEye VCA forBUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

The video analysis features that will be available on Software DigiEye 6.1 (Dec-2015) and DigiEye VCA Business Intelligence license are:

PEOPLE COUNTING

HEATMAP (MAPS OF PRESENCE)

The People Counting and Heatmap features can be activated simultaneously for one or more analog or IP cameras.

A DigiEye VCA Business Intelligence license allows to activate on a DigiEye n* number of video analysis channels, and to apply the activated video analysis channels to any camera connected to that DigiEye.

* The maximum number of video analysis channels that can be activated depends on the DigiEye model and the DigiEye configuration/user mode.

DigiEye VCA for Business Intelligence

DigiEye VCA PEOPLE COUNTING

The People Counting function allows to count of the number of persons passing through one or more virtual sensors. These virtual sensors are defined on a camera image and are sensitive to transits in a given direction.

Within the same scene, there can be multiple virtual sensors allowing to control multiple gates or areas using a single camera.

DigiEye VCA PEOPLE COUNTING

The counting data are stored on the DigiEye. They willremain available for consultation and statistics. Periodicreports can be automatically generated and sent via email ornetwork server (FTP, SMB, ...).

It is recommended to install the camera considering the zenithal angle settings, that is to say considering the perpendicularity to the area on which the counting will be performed, from a minimum height of 3 meters.

This kind of positioning guarantees the best results in terms of counting accuracy.

Up to 4 unidirectional counting sensors or 2 bidirectional counting sensors per camera

Counting of more people passing simultaneously in the area monitored by the sensor

Applicable to both analog and IP cameras connected to DigiEye

Each sensor is associated to a counter of which value is stored in DigiEye

The counting data can be stored with different levels of detail depending on the needs: real-

time (for short periods of observation), 1min, 10min, 1h (for long periods of observation)

The counting data are stored in a circular mode, overwriting the oldest data

The same counter can be associated to different sensors that, at each passing, increment or

decrement the value of counted people: it is, therefore, possible to get the number of

presences within a monitored area

Checking of the counting status via local interface

Audio feedback on the counting to facilitate the settings during the installation

Counting data accessible via web services

Counting data easily exportable in Excel via web links

Sending of periodic counting reports via email

The counting function can be inserted in the scheduler to be activated only on certain days /

times for each camera

The information on the number of people passing through the entrance allows

to provide statistics on visitors (i.e. the number of people currently present in a

certain area, the approximate time of people permanence in a particular place,

etc.). This kind of data is particularly useful when combined with information on

sales: they, indeed, provide details on the types of customers / visitors during

different times of the day or different days of the week.

This kind of data allows to create personalized offers, to optimize the allocation of staff resources, to reduce the operating costs (such as air

conditioning) and to improve the services (reduction or elimination of

queues, more employees at certain times to better inform and promote, etc.).

DigiEye VCA HEATMAP

DigiEye VCA Heatmap, primarily designed for surveillance in vertical applications such as retail and public places, allows to produce statistic maps on the occupation of areas that have been configured by the users.

The statistics are available on the image of the scene: the “occupied areas” are highlighted with different maps in pseudo colors providing some immediate and clear indications on which are the "hottest" (i.e. the most popular) areas within the scene shown by the camera.

DigiEye HEATMAP

The data are commonly represented in a graphical form: the scene image is

superimposed by a variety of colors ranging from blue to red, where blue is used to

show the less visited areas and red to represent the most frequented ones.

This information is useful and helps in determining the users’ behaviors: for

example, it is possible to understand the effectiveness of some promotion

campaigns, or to decide when and where some promotional operations / product

launches have more chance to be successful.

DigiEye VCA HEATMAP, therefore, is a

video analysis function that measures the

number of people who remain stationed

over an average time in different areas of a

retail, venue or public place.

Can be activated to analog or IP cameras connected to DigiEye

Can be activated on each camera connected to DigiEye

Real-time viewing of each heatmap settings during the camera configuration

DigiEye stores the heatmap statistics along with the normal video recordings (bitrate

~30 Kbps)

Users can produce heatmap images related to any period of interest, not less than 1

minute

Heatmap images are available via web services and can be easily integrated into other

applications

Sending of periodic reports of heatmap images via email

The function can be inserted in the scheduler to be activated only on certain days /

times for each camera

DigiEye VCA forSECURITY INTELLIGENCE

The video analysis features that will be available on DigiEye Software 6.2 (Q2-2016) and DigiEyeVCA Security Intelligence are:

THRESHOLD CROSSING

STERILE AREA

LOITERING

ABANDONED / REMOVED OBJECT

The features can be activated simultaneously for one or more analog or IP cameras.

A DigiEye VCA Security Intelligence lincense allows to activate on a DigiEye n* number of video analysis channels, and to apply the activated video analysis channels to any camera connected to that DigiEye.

•The maximum number of video analysis channels that can be activated depends on the DigiEye model and the DigiEye configuration/user mode.

DigiEye VCA for Security Intelligence

DigiEye VCA for Security Intelligence functions canbe activated on any analog or IP cameraconnected to a DigiEye

They can be activated for each connected cameraaccording to the scheduler

Video analysis algorithms activated on theconnected cameras can generate alarms, which can

alert the surveillance center and activate relay outputs

DigiEye VCA for Security Intelligence

This function allows to define on the image one or more straight virtual

sensors: these are defined as "Trip-wire / Line-crossing“.

Whenever an object (person or vehicle) crosses the defined line, an alarm is

generated and alerts the video surveillance operator.

DigiEye VCA TRIP-WIRE / LINE CROSSING

The Intrusion Detection / Perimeter Protection / Sterile Zone function allows

to define on the image a polygonal virtual sensor.

Whenever an object (person or vehicle) enters the defined area, an alarm is

generated and alerts the video surveillance operator.

DigiEye VCA STERILE ZONE

This feature allows to generate an

alarm and alert the operator when a

person remains stationed in an area

of interest for a certain amount of

time.

DigiEye VCA LOITERING

This feature allows to generate an alarm and alert the operator in real time

when an object is abandoned or removed from a scene of interest.
