INTRODUCTION
This Data sheet gives the details of system requirements, feature details associated with Video
Analytics Solution’s Crowd Management applications.

Video Analytics Solution is a Deep Learning Video Analytics software product for actionable
intelligence in security installations as well as for business operations. The product provides excellent
return on investment. The crowd management features are used for a wide range of applications
including City Surveillance, Crowd Control for Events & Festivals, Crowd Management at Shopping
Malls, Tourist Spots and other Public Places, General Monitoring against Crowding & Vandalism etc.

The technology evaluates the contents of video to rapidly determine the specific information about
the video contents like presence of people and crowd, their number or density level as well as
movement/flow information in a user-specified monitoring zone.

Video Analytics Solution offers Full Deep Learning Analytics, where all the features of Video Analytics
Solution are enabled with Deep Learning. Deep Learning is utilized by Video Analytics Solution for
accurate and fast Object Detection, Object Recognition, Object Classification and Object
Tracking.

Summary o Alarms filters based on object properties – time, type, color, size, speed &

aspect ratio o Live View option for video wall and Live Reporting options

CROWD MANAGEMENT FEATURES

Video Analytics Solution has a robust algorithm for detecting / counting crowd and analysing the
flow/movement. These are applied in Crowd Management application. The features are:

• Provides approximate crowd count in a specific area at any instant.

• Provides overcrowding alert against crowd count crossing a defined threshold value.

• Doesn't generate false alarms (doesn't miss any detection of crowding scenario).

• It works in any kind of crowd including busy scenario and continuous dense crowd.

• Analyses crowd flow (highlights crowd sections with different colors for different directions).

• Detects crowd movement in undesired direction and provides crowd counter flow alert.

• Sub-applications like People Presence Detection, Occupancy Management and calculation

of Dwell Time are also possible.

The following section provides description on the feature sets available under Video Analytics
Solution’s crowd management solution:

Crowd Counting:
The user needs to define the region of interest by drawing a
polygon marked by simple mouse clicks on the video screen in
the software GUI. The crowd counting algorithm does image
processing to analyse the video feed frame by frame for
detecting the presence of people and crowd. It provides live
count of the number of people occupying the defined area.
As people move in and out of the specified zone, the live
crowd count data also changes accordingly. The live crowd
count figure is shown on the alarm file and overlay video.

Crowding Detection:
The user can specify a threshold which when crossed by the
live count data, initiates an alarm for Crowding Detection
(overcrowding alert). It can also detect sudden crowd surge.
The phenomenon of crowding can be alternatively found out
by running analytics based on percentage of area occupied.
This is called congestion. When the moving people cover more
than a specified percentage of area in the region of interest,
event of congestion is detected.

Crowd Flow Detection:

The application can also indicate the movement of crowd
sections in different directions with the help of different color
indication. This is used for movement / flow analysis by crowd
management personnel. Crowd movement in an undesired
direction based on user-specified input, would initiate an alarm
for crowd counter flow. Counter flow detection can alert
security personnel and help in preventing mishaps.

INTEGRATION
Video Analytics Solution Video Analytics application is available in 2 flavours:

With VMS:

• Video Analytics Solution application is based on Open Platform Standards.

• It is integrated with many open platform VMS.

Without VMS:

• It is a standalone application.

• It works independent of VMS.

• Directly takes the video feed from camera.

Architecture

Simple architecture schematics for with VMS and without VMS (Standalone) schemes are shown
below. Video Analytics Solution takes the video feed either from VMS or camera and processes in
the Video Analytics Solution video analytics server. The alarms can be viewed either in VMS Viewer
(VMS Client) or in the Alarm Center (Video Analytics Solution’s Alarm Management Client).

Federated Architecture
• With Federated Architecture, analytics can be done at local servers and viewed by local
operators.

• A central server with a central operator can view all the alarms in the system.

• Alarms from different clients can be seen at the central Alarm Center and alarms are
differentiated through Client IDs.

Datasheet | Crowd Management

• Displays alarms with date and time stamp

• Search: Filters to search alarms based on it types and properties

• Plot and Export of reports in JPEG, Excel and PDF format

• Scheduling of Reports, Auto Emailer and FTP upload options.

Alarm Center provides Comparison Reports for time series analysis.

Video Analytics Solution Alarm Center – Generating Comparison Report for Alarm Counts

`
The comparison reports, generated by Alarm Analysis
in Alarm Center help in time series analysis. For
example, the comparison of crowd count in a certain
time period can be compared with crowd count for
the same camera in historical time periods.
