What is Nio Intelligent Video Analytics?
Nio Intelligent video analytics is not only about drawing a frame around some moving pixels in an image and maybe zoom in to the already low resolution picture.
First of all, the image needs to be analyzed in order to sort out whether the moving pixels in fact are an object of interest. Is it a human/car or is it just a bouncing ball? Deciding which of the possible moving objects to focus on should be made from a set of easy altered parameters. If there are several moving objects of interest, then the analytics needs to decide which one to look at first based on the relevance of the object (according to the parameters).
Then, in order to get a positive identification of the object, you will need a high quality close-up. To make this work in under all conditions, you will need a Pan Tilt Zoom camera with a high quality optical zoom to close-up and follow the object and then, at high speed, move to get an ID shot of the next one.
CloseView® uses up to four fixed cameras to analyze the scene. These reference cameras are the eyes of CloseView® and they never get tired. CloseView® is the multi-tasking video guard with 4 eyes, always on watch, analyzing all the information from the reference cameras and moving the PTZ camera to all objects of interest. When recording is added, the image from the reference camera(s) will give the storybook, and the close-up images from the PTZ will provide you with the ID shots of the objects.
There are several auto tracking PTZ cameras on the market, but most of them have in common that they analyze only the image coming out of the PTZ itself and sticks to one target at the time. This way, while the camera is busy tracking one target, the real object of interest could be out of sight for the PTZ camera. With CloseView® you will have real-time multiple object tracking and ID shots.
