Algorithm applications

Prerequisites

• You have connected video devices to the all-in-one edge device. For more information, see Add video devices.

• Before you configure a facial recognition application, make sure that you have configured the base library service. For more information, see Algorithm services.

• For LE-V-B012 and LE-V-B015 all-in-one edge devices, you must configure preloaded algorithms the first time you use the algorithm application feature. For more information, see Preload algorithms.

Procedure

1. Log on to the Edge Computing console.

2. From the drop-down list in the navigation pane on the left, select your instance.

   

3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Node Management > Algorithm Task Management.

4. On the Algorithm Task Management page, select your V-series all-in-one edge device. A list of the algorithm tasks supported by the device is displayed.

   On the Algorithm Task Management page, you can select a host from the drop-down list to manage its algorithm applications.

   Note

   If no algorithm applications are listed on the Algorithm Task Management page, contact the business representative who assisted with your purchase of the all-in-one edge device.

   

5. On the Algorithm Task Management page, click the application that you want to configure.

6. On the Algorithm Service Details page, click Add Device.

7. In the Add Device panel, select the check box for the target device and click OK to add the device to the algorithm application.

   If your algorithm application already has associated devices, you can add more by clicking the icon to the right of the Device List.

   Note

   In the Add Device panel, click Preview Video next to a device name to view its real-time video feed.

   

8. After adding a device, you can use algorithm tasks to manage your video devices.

   Serial number	Operation	Description
   ①	Start an algorithm task	Turn on the Device Status switch to start the algorithm task for the device. Note After you start the algorithm task, it begins to initialize. If the device status does not update within 30 seconds, refresh the browser page.
   ②	View algorithm configuration	Click the icon before Algorithm Configuration to view the algorithm configuration for the device.
   ③	Draw a tripwire	This button appears for people counting algorithm models. A tripwire is a boundary line for counting people. Draw the tripwire as follows: Click Draw Tripwire. In the dialog box that appears, click Draw Tripwire and use your mouse to draw a line. Click Draw Direction and use your mouse to draw a line with an arrow. The arrow indicates the direction of entry. People who cross the tripwire from this direction are included in the people count. Note When you draw the tripwire and the direction line, make the two lines perpendicular for more accurate people counting. Click the icon to save your drawing. On the Algorithm Service Details page, turn the Device Status switch off and on again to apply the tripwire.
   	Draw an area	This button appears for area detection algorithm models, such as area intrusion, crowd gathering, and unattended post detection. Click Draw Area. In the dialog box that appears, click Draw Rectangle or Draw Polygon. Draw a rectangle or polygon as needed to set the detection area. Click the icon to save your drawing. On the Algorithm Service Details page, turn the Device Status switch off and on again to apply the area.
   ④	Edit algorithm configuration	The algorithm configuration is optimized. Do not change it unless necessary. To make changes, first consult the business representative from whom you purchased the all-in-one edge device.
   ⑤	View algorithm version	Hover over Algorithm Version to view the version number of the algorithm.
   ⑥	View events	In the Event List area, you can view recent events. The events vary for different types of algorithm applications: Facial recognition: Displays information about detected faces. General object detection: Displays the detection results for each algorithm module. People counting: Displays the total count, a curve graph, and entry events. Note The total count and the curve are calculated daily and reset to zero at 00:00 every day. Vehicle and license plate recognition: Displays images of detected vehicles and license plates. You can click Details for a specific algorithm to view detailed information about the event. You can also click More Events to view events for all algorithm tasks. For more information, see Event Center.
   ⑦	Remove a terminal device	Hover over the name of the terminal device under the target host and click the icon on the right to remove the device from the algorithm application.

What to do next

After you run the algorithm task, you can use Algorithm services to manage your algorithm tasks.
