Intelligent video<\/a> applications work by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Detecting objects.<\/li>\n
  2. Segmenting\u00a0different shapes\/objects\u00a0into areas of interest.<\/li>\n
  3. Classifying the objects by type (person, vehicle, object).<\/li>\n
  4. Characterizing objects by color, size, direction of travel, or motion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    After this information has been processed, user defined rules can determine if a car is traveling the wrong way,\u00a0someone is entering a prohibited area, or if an object is left behind (security threat).\u00a0<\/p>\n

    If these rules are broken, alerts and alarms can automatically notify you of an event taking place.<\/p>\n

    Below, I’ve outlined some of the advanced intelligent video applications.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Object Counting<\/h2>\n

    Count the number of objects behaving in a certain way (something\/someone moving in the wrong direction) or tally up the number of certain objects in a scene.<\/p>\n

    People Counting<\/h2>\n

    Retail stores can place cameras directly above an entrance (camera placement is important for accuracy)\u00a0and use people counting to know the number of people entering or exiting\u00a0that particular\u00a0area.\u00a0 People counting can also be used for:<\/p>\n
