4: Set the “In/Out direction”
Be careful to set the direction for incoming and outgoing people correctly. The best method is to have a person
enter the door, and verify that the correct counter In or Out is updated.
Changing the direction will reset the in/out counters.
5: Set the “Door kind”
When, on-board a transportation vehicle, a door is dedicated for entering only or exiting only, this option allows
the explicit declaration of the kind of door.
This declaration does not disable the incoming or outgoing counters but increases the sensitivity to people
traversing the detection area in a certain direction.
6: Set the “Door threshold”
Together with “Scene background” (point 7), “Door threshold” is one of the two most important
parameters that has to be set properly to increase accuracy.
During the tracking process, the two counters are incremented only if a person enters the detection area, crosses
the door threshold and then exits from the detection area on the opposite side.
By default, the threshold is placed at row 60 (the image height is 120 rows). The position of the line can be set
between row 30 and row 89.
In each visualization mode, except for “Tracking”, flagging the “View Threshold” checkbox will display the current
threshold (a white horizontal line) in Windows 1 and 2.
Guidelines to find the best threshold position:
•
Place it in a way that any person entering or exiting has to cross it.
•
Place it away from high reflective surfaces (i.e. the steps on a bus/train). If the detection area includes
also a portion outside the transportation vehicle, the door threshold should not be set outside.
•
Place it away from door-opening mechanisms
•
It should be placed in the middle of the detection area, which if the PCN-1001 has been installed
correctly above the door, should correspond to a central position of the “Door threshold” slide bar
If a door is intended to be used in a single direction, for example “in only” or “out only”, it may be useful to
move the threshold towards the exit edge of the detection area.
