Description

This user guide will describe the features and options of a DW Ai Server for use with DW Spectrum IPVMS. This software comes pre-installed on DW Blackjack Ai Servers.

Part 1: DW Ai Server Architecture

DW Ai Server Plug-in

The DW Ai Server plug-in consists of two components:

  • DW Ai Server Plug-in: The DW Ai Server Plug-in is installed alongside DW Spectrum IPvMS and provides a link to the DW Ai Server.
  • DW Ai Server: The DW Ai Server component receives the encoded video from DW Spectrum IPVMS, then decodes and processes the video through the analytics engines and rules. It then feeds the metadata back to the DW Ai Server Plug-in to be integrated into the video streams of recordings servers that are running DW Spectrum IPVMS.

- DW Ai Server Configuration Tool - this software component can be used to manage the connections and settings of the DW Ai Server program.

DW Ai Server Configuration Tool

The DW Ai Server Configuration Tool is a standalone application, designed to provide a feature-rich experience when configuring a channel's video analytic features. This application provides a user interface through which system administrators can manage and configure the settings and connections of the DW Ai Server for integration with existing DW Spectrum IPVMS systems.

Part 6: Enable Tab - DW Ai Server Plugin

To set up analytics on the DW Ai Server, select a camera from the left-side panel. The Enable tab shows the status of the plug-in for the selected camera. From here you can check license status and select the preferred deep-learning feature.

  • DW Ai Server Plugin: Toggle to enable/disable the plug-in for the selected camera.
  • Tracker Engine: Defines the tracking engine that will be used for analytics. The tracker engine will need to 'learn the scene' to determine background from moving foreground objects. While initially learning the scene, a message will be displayed in the live view, and no objects will be tracked during this time.

- DL Object Tracker: When selected, the analytic engine will use the GPU to detect, categorize and track objects as they move through the camera's detection areas.

- When set to use Object Tracker, the objects can be classified using either deep learning models or by using properties extracted from an object in a calibrated scene. If the Deep Learning Filter is not used, camera calibration is required to detect the object class.

- DL People Tracker: When selected, the tracker uses the GPU to detect and track people as they move through the camera's detection areas.

- Apply: Apply changes to the selected camera.

The calibration and classification features are not displayed when using the Deep Learning filter, DL Object Tracker, or DL People Tracker. When first selected, the DL trackers will run a model generation process. This optimizes the DL models to run on the available GPU hardware.

Regardless of which tracker is selected, the DL People tracker model, DL Object Tracker model and the DL Filter model will all be optimized together. This process can take up to 10 minutes per model and may increase with different GPU configurations. The process will not need to be run again unless the GPU hardware is changed. While optimization is performed a message will be displayed in the live view, and no objects will be tracked during this time.

Analytic Area Rules

When creating Analytic Area Rules, the DW Ai Server will overlay a survey zone over the camera video for the DW Ai Server will monitor and track people and objects, while triggering alerts depending on analytic rules.

Area rule types include:

  • Intrusion: The Intrusion rule triggers an event when an object is first detected and has crossed into a specified zone
    NOTE: The Intrusion rule will trigger in the same circumstances as the Enter and Appear rules. The choice of which rule is most appropriate will depend upon the scenario.
  • Enter: The Enter rule triggers an event when a tracked object crosses the border from outside of a zone to inside the zone.
  • Exit: The Exit rule triggers an event when an object crosses the zone border, moving from inside the zone to outside
  • Loitering: The Loitering rule triggers an event when an object remains present within a zone for a pre-defined period.
  • Appear: The Appearrule triggers an event when an object suddenly starts to be tracked from within a zone.

- Disappear: The Disappear rule triggers an event when an object suddenly stops being tracked (disappears) from within a zone.

- Stopped: The Stopped rule triggers an event when an object has remained stationary in a particular zone for a pre-defined period.

NOTE: The Stopped rule does not detect abandoned objects. It only detects objects which were moving and then became stationary within the zone.

Analytic Line Rules

Analytic line rules mark a survey line for the Ai engine to monitor track people and objects. Line rule types include:

- Line Crossing: The Line Crossing rule triggers an event when an object is first detected crossing the line.

- NOTE: Line Crossing rule will trigger in the same circumstances as the Direction Violation rule. The choice of which rule is most appropriate will vary depending on the scenario.

- Counting Line: The Counting Line triggers an event when movement is detected crossing a detection line in a particular direction, regardless of the angle of the crossing. Additional specifications that can be defined include the required direction of travel and the minimum width of passing objects to trigger the rule.

- NOTE: Counting Line differs from the Direction rule in that it does not use the Object Tracker. Instead, it detects motion that moves past the line. The Object Filter feature is not available when using the counting line rule.

- Tailgating: The Tailgating rule triggers an event when objects cross over a line within quick succession of each other, within the defined time.

- Direction Violation: The Direction Violation rule triggers an event when an object crosses the detection line in a specified direction, angle, etc.

NOTE: You can also adjust the rule settings using the preview overlay. Click and hold inside the dotted circles and drag the line to the desired angle.

Analytic Filtering Rules

Analytic filtering rules can be applied to reduce false-positives and unwanted analytic triggering.

- Logical Rule: A Logical Rule extends the standard analytic rules to allow various inputs to be combined using logical expressions. This allows rules to be combined to form a complex filter of events to help reduce false alerts.

NOTE: Not all standard rules are available for Logical rules.

- None Detection: The None Detection rule will create an exclusion zone that can be used to map areas of the scene from being analyzed. This can

be used to reduce false triggers that might be caused by moving foliage or busy backgrounds by telling the engine to ignore certain areas.
