AXIS Object Analytics enhancements: New capabilities include Crossline counting and Occupancy in area
AXIS Object Analytics is a multifeatured video analytics that comes preinstalled on compatible Axis cameras, adding value at no extra cost. It detects and classifies humans, vehicles, and types of vehicles. The newest AXIS Object Analytics offerings are Crossline counting and Occupancy in area, which provide users with the ability to count objects crossing a virtual line or within a defined area, respectively.
The Crossline counting feature counts objects that cross a virtual tripwire in a defined direction. An event can be triggered whenever a set number of selected objects have crossed the line, while data can be collected either separately or simultaneously to events.
The Occupancy in area feature allows the user to define an area to count selected objects, providing an estimate of occupancy levels in real-time. Any objects outside the area will be ignored.
These analytics provide valuable information to the user, including the ability to:
- Gain actionable insights and identify peak traffic hours across different locations
- Quantify and evaluate the impact of measures taken on traffic flow
- Notify personnel when a facility requires maintenance based on usage
- Monitor queue lengths and analyze visitor trends to optimize resource allocation and reduce costs
- Understand the flow of movement and estimate occupancy levels within areas of interest
AXIS Object Analytics Crossline counting and AXIS Occupancy Analytics Object in area will be available November 2023
Each of these new solutions will be demoed, along with more of Axis’ latest products, at ISC East, booth #711. Further information about Axis Communications and its entire portfolio of intelligent network solutions, please visit www.axis.com or connect with an Axis Representative.
