Confidence Levels

When EyesOnIt detects an object based on your detection configuration, it generates a confidence level for that detection. A high confidence level means EyesOnIt is more confident that it is seeing the thing you asked it to detect. A low confidence level means EyesOnIt thinks the match is weak.

Confidence is important in several places in the current Web UI:

• object-description alert thresholds in video monitoring
• face-recognition match thresholds
• image-similarity match thresholds
• live-search alert thresholds
• archive result sorting and filtering

One important use of confidence levels is with alerting. When you configure alerts, you tell EyesOnIt how confident it should be before it interrupts you. For example, a high threshold can reduce false alerts, while a lower threshold can help you catch weaker matches that still matter to you.
