Test a detection in Image Lab

HOW-TO GUIDEWeb UI · EyesOnIt 6.1

Try a detection on a clear video frame before putting it into service. Image Lab uses familiar region and detection controls and explains which objects pass your settings.

Web UI: test a campus frame, inspect the matches, and review conversion to a camera.

Open Image Lab. Choose Choose JPEG or PNG, or drop a frame into the page. Use an image from the camera and conditions you plan to monitor. You can also choose a retained frame from Archive.

  1. Position the Detection region over the area of interest.
  2. Open Detection and select a configuration.
  3. Choose the object type, confidence, and size settings. Add a natural-language description when you need to distinguish a particular person or activity.
  4. Choose Analyze frame.
