Smart VA
Introduction
Use this guide to understand the interface and features of the Smart VA plugin and learn how to utilize it for the best result.
What is Smart VA?
The Smart VA plugin offers advanced video analytics capabilities, enabling the identification of object types and the generation of event notifications based on customizable rules. Users can tailor these rules using the following criteria:
- Defined zones
- Zones with specified directions
- Movement trajectories
- Line crossing in specified directions
The plugin also includes a comprehensive Search section, facilitating intelligent searches based on various person and vehicle attributes, time intervals, and multiple cameras. The search functionality is enhanced by graphical filters (zones, lines, trajectories) for refining search areas.
Smart VA also allows users to create lists of individuals and add cards for people from particular search results. This feature enables list event notifications when new analytics results match the cards in lists, enhancing situational awareness and enabling proactive responses.
In addition, Smart VA features powerful Heatmap analysis, allowing users to visualize and analyze activity patterns over time, providing insights into movement trends and optimizing surveillance strategies.
Key Features
- The Smart VA plugin provides a range of features designed to enhance video analytics and search capabilities:
- Customizable Detection Rules: Define rules for various object detection parameters to meet specific requirements.
- Smart Search Capability: Perform advanced searches based on person and vehicle attributes, time intervals, and multiple cameras.
- Graphical Filters: Refine search areas using graphical filters for zones, lines, and trajectories, applicable to a single selected camera.
- Preset Filters: Quickly search for people and vehicles using custom filter presets based on specified filters and attributes.
- Lists and Cards: Create and manage lists of individuals, create cards from particular search results, and receive list event notifications that match the people in these lists.
- Heatmap Generation: Visualize and analyze activity patterns over time using the Heatmap feature across plans and analytics data.
Primary Capabilities
Smart VA is capable of:
- Object Detection and Classification:
- Determining the type of object (such as a person, bicycle, car, motorbike, bus, and truck)
- Tracking and classifying up to 30 objects simultaneously, whether they are moving or stationary
- Presence and Movement Analysis:
- Checking the presence or absence of an object within a specified timeframe in the selected area
- Identifying gatherings of people by considering the distance between individuals in the frame
- Counting objects according to selected types to analyze congestion at intersections and on streets
- Advanced Search Features:
- Conducting searches for a person/vehicle from different cameras
- Providing people search by appearance similarity
- Searching for a person/vehicle by more than 50 various attributes
- List and Card Management:
- Creating and organizing lists of individuals with cards for each person added from particular search results
- Receiving list event notifications when new search results match existing cards in lists, improving situational awareness and enabling timely responses
- Heatmap Analysis:
- Generating heatmaps to visualize activity patterns over selected time frames, helping to identify areas of high and low activity
- Analyzing activity patterns on plan layouts to optimize surveillance coverage and resource allocation
- Utilizing analytics data to create detailed heatmaps that provide insights into movement trends and behavior patterns
