Correcting count data

In this application, People count numbers can be corrected and the data can be outputted with the flow in the following figure.

U-turn correction setting procedure

1. By turning on this function, the People count number can be corrected for the target lines by automatically determining if people who U-turn are kept from the count for the People count number. Check “On” in the right field to turn on this function. (Default: On)
2. Click the “Set” button to apply settings.

Example:
If U-turn correction is only enabled for the IN direction,only the IN direction will not be counted.

Important:

• If people who have been counted go outside the detection area and then cross the line again, they are not considered to have done a U-turn.
• Even if this function is enabled, because it automatically determines whether or not to control the count for people doing U-turns depending on the number of people who pass by, there may be no change from when this function is not enabled.
• We recommend not using correction when people who are entering or exiting frequently cross the entrance/ exit.

Others

obtained from the camera, if a duration is specified for the data, if the output target is selected.
Data from certain times is not updated| Because there is no data in the camera. Check is data from other cameras is being obtained successfully, and if the time that you want data from is included in the output target times.
Data is not automatically obtained at the specified times| Check if the camera is registered, if “Auto acquisition setting” is selected, and if there are no mistakes with the Reference hour and Acquisition interval settings.
The summary data and form are not updated| Check if the file with the same name as the Output target is not open, and if the latest data is being obtained from the camera. Also, there may be a

possibility that the time set for the camera and PC do not match. In this case,

match the times.

Settings have not been applied| You may have forgotten to click the “Set” button after changing settings. Check the settings again.
The tool temporarily freezes| The tool temporarily freezes when it connects with the camera. Please wait a few seconds for tool to recover.
I want to change the address after configuring settings. Can I use the data from before changing settings with the new address?| If there is data contained in the address from before changing settings, you can continue using the data if you change the folder name to the changed address. You can use the same procedure when exchanging addresses of 2 cameras. However, try to avoid making changes after operations.
When registering the same address of an address used in the past, the data used in the past was deleted after mistakenly selecting Default reset| A folder called “bak**” is created in the “data” folder in installation destination of this application and the old people count data from the reseted address is backed up. By checking the “log.txt” in the installation destination of this application or logs in the “log” folder, you can find out what addresses’ data is saved in which folder name.
Can the PC application (ASM300) and the “People Count Output Tool” be used?| The “People Count Output Tool” and ASM300 can be used together. Because the PC environment conditions of the “People Count Setting Tool”/“People Count Output Tool” and ASM300 are different, check before using them together.
What is the maximum count number for 1 line?| The maximum number of people that can be detected for 1 frame is 32 people. Also, the maximum count for each Interval to store is 65,535.
What is the size of the data?| Approximately 3 KB for 1 hour for each camera.
Is it possible to get the data of the multiple locations from the remote head office?| It is possible to get data from remote locations by assigning a different URL to the cameras of the multiple locations and configuring that URL to the address of this application. Separate DNS and other settings are required.
When comparing count data, data from how many years in the past can be used? Also, can 2 or more count data be used as the compare target?| Count data can be saved on the PC for 10 years. When 10 years passes, the data is automatically deleted. Therefore, data from up to 9 years ago can be used in data comparisons.

However, only 1 compare target can be selected. Therefore, to compare multiple lots of data, you have to manually prepare the data by outputting data

several times and combining the data together.

What happens when data cannot be summarized because the connection with the camera

was broken when automatically obtaining data or for other

reasons?

| This application tries again to obtain the data that couldn’t be obtained the next time data is automatically obtained.
How long is data saved for on cameras?

After obtaining data from a camera, is that data deleted from the camera?

| Even after count results have been obtained from the PC, the data in the camera is not deleted.

The saving period is 3 months worth of data when save destination of count results is the SD memory card and 1 days worth of data when the save destination is the internal memory.

If there is more data than this, data is deleted starting with the old data.
