Speed Estimation

Estimates speeds of objects in a ROI and sets triggers based on low/high thresholds.

Overview

The Speed Estimation node estimates speeds of objects in a ROI and sets triggers based on low/high thresholds. This node makes it easy to build common use cases such as No running zones, traffic jams, etc.

This node requires a AI Model Node and a Track Objects Node before it in order to function properly.

Inputs & Outputs

  • Inputs : 1, Media Format : Raw Video
  • Outputs : 1, Media Format: Raw Video
  • Output Metadata : Speed Information

Properties

PropertyValue
roisSemicolon separated list of areas in the video within which the Speed Estimation tracks these objects. If none is specified, the Speed Estimation tracks objects within the entire frame. Format: left1,top1,right1,bottom1; left2,top2,right2,bottom2 Ex: 10,10,100,100; 200,200,300,300
roi_labelsComma separated list of labels for each ROI in the rois list above. Format: label1, label2 Ex: door, window
object_typesComma separated list of object types to measure speed. Ex. car,person Accepted formats: object_label: any object of this type, with or without a classifier attribute. Example: car, object_label.class_type: any object of this type that has a specific classifier attribute. Example: car.red, object_label.*: any object of this type that has at least one classifier attribute. Example: car.* (this will match car.red, car.yellow, etc)
speed_unit- mph: Miles per hour. Requires a Camera Calibration node prior to this node. - kph :Kilometers per hour. Requires a Camera Calibration node prior to this node. - pph : Pixels per hour - pps : Pixels per second.
speed_trigger_threshold_highSet a trigger when speed exceeds the high threshold. Ex. 20
speed_trigger_threshold_lowSet a trigger when speed is below the low threshold. Ex. 2
speed_trigger_threshold_stationarySet the object as stationary when speed is below the stationary threshold. Ex. 0.5
display_objects_modeDisplay objects that meet this criteria on the video. Options: - none : None -triggered : Only those above or below the thresholds. - regular : Any motion. - irregular: Stop and go or hover motion. - stationary: Stationary objects - all : All
display_roiIf true, ROI will be drawn on video
tracking_modeWhich point of the object to track : - centroid - bottom-center - top-center -left-center -right-center
analysis_windowAnalyze the last n seconds of an object's motion to determine motion type. Ex. 10
speed_labels_to_addAdd the speed category or motion type to the object's classes. Use it to filter objects or report on them. - all: Adds both speed_category and motion_type classes to object attributes - none - speed_category: Adds speed_stationary, speed_low, speed_medium, speed_high classes to object attributes. - motion_type: Adds motion_stop_and_go, motion_hover, and motion_regular classes to object attributes.
