2 General Description
SecurOS Transit (below Module) is intended for recognizing carriage numbers from an incoming video
stream and store them in the database. Its purpose is monitoring in yards and check points, as well as
any other situation when it is necessary to register and identify a passing carriages. Module works in
integration with the SecurOS system, that allows it to be used with other monitoring systems, such as
video and audio control, and access control systems.

The Module has the following capabilities:

· Recognition of carriage numbers from an incoming camera video stream;
· Storing recognized carriage numbers in database with additional information on date, time, and
video camera;
· Viewing video frame associated with captured carriage number;
· Searching through recognized carriage numbers;
· Monitoring cameras video stream;
· Supporting several monitors to display operator GUI;
· Fully integratable with SecurOS subsystems.

2.1 Implementation and Operation Principles

This section contains the software and hardware platform requirements for installing SecurOS Transit;
the description of the system architecture; the description of the different types of configurations; and
also provides recommendations regarding the placement of the SecurOS Transit objects in the SecurOS
system Object Tree.

2.1.1 Hardware-Software Platform Requirements

This section summarizes the hardware/software requirements which are recommended to install the
SecurOS Transit Module.

Warning! Calculations of individual configurations for best system performance, are recommended to be
performed with a Intelligent Security Systems specialist.

2.1.1.1 Server Requirements To Install Recognition Module

Basic requirements for SecurOS servers are listed in the SecurOS Administration Guide.

Depending on the number of recognition channels, the requirements may vary according to the
performance of the processor and RAM.

Note. One installed Transit: Number recognizer Module corresponds to one channel of recognition.

General Description

2.1.1.2 Operator Workstation and SecurOS Transit Dedicated DB Server Requirements

Requirements for the Operator Workstation and the Dedicated DB Server are listed in the SecurOS
Administration Guide.

2.1.2 System Architecture

The architecture of the SecurOS Transit Module is illustrated in Figure 1.

Figure 1. SecurOS Transit Module Architecture

2.1.2.1 System Components

SecurOS Transit Module consists of the following components:
· Transit: Group of modules — system object. Is used to group SecurOS Transit system objects. Has no
functional and settings to alter.
· Transit: Number recognizer — system object. Is the main object of the SecurOS Transit Module and
describes parameters and logic of the carriage recognition.
· Transit: Assisting recognizer — system object. Is used to provide joint operation along with one or
several Transit: Number recognizer (s).
· Transit: Consolidator — system object. Is used to aggregate recognition results obtained by two
independent sources (recognizers), that allows to improve recognition quality.
· Transit: Logic module — system object. Is used to describe SecurOS Transit system object's logical
connections, determining data flow directions between them. For example, it allows to specify
which Database will be used by the given Recognizers. Also allows to connect external databases.

www.issivs.com
 SecurOS Transit 10 User Guide
General Description

· Transit: Group of modules — system object. Is used to divide the train on carriages based on the
analysis of visual marker visibility (bar) to be installed next to the railroad tracks.
· Transit: GUI — system interface object. Module is designed to monitor information provided by the
Recognizers or Consolidators and to work with the Database both in real-time and archive mode.
· Database — SecurOS Transit's PostgreSQL database. Intended to store recognized vehicle license
plate numbers and associated information. To work with information stored in the Database the
Transit: GUI object is used.

All SecurOS Transit's objects (except Database) can be separated into Server-side and Client-side
components. The following objects are the server-side components: Transit: Logic module, Transit:
Number recognizer, Transit: Assisting recognizer, Transit: Consolidator, Transit: Pattern detector; Transit: GUI
is the client-side components.

2.1.3 System Operation

The video stream from the dedicated Camera is sent to the Transit: Number recognizer.

Warning! Module must be started before a train passing on a camera view to prevent Module’ incorrect
functions. Any additional Module configuration is not recommended during its working.

Each number that is recognized from the image is stored in a database; recognition result is checked
against the checksum and displays the protocol numbers. To improve recognition quality an additional
Transit: Assisting recognizer objects can be created. Recognition results are transferred from the main and
assistant Recognizers objects and are merged in the Consolidator. The final value of the carriage number is
recorded in the Database and displayed in the protocol number window of the Transit: GUI.

Sensors are represented in system by the Sensor "Signal" objects (the information on configuring of the
given object see SecurOS Administration Guide).

Note. In case the sensor has zero target resistance at free passage of beams (absence of trains) and infinite in
the presence of an obstacle, it is necessary in the Sensor "Signal" object properties window to specify operation
type: on disconnection. In case the sensor has infinite target resistance at free passage of beams
(absence of trains) and zero in the presence of an obstacle, it is necessary in the Sensor "Signal" object to specify
operation type: on short circuit.

2.2 Types of Configurations

This section briefly describes common configurations of SecurOS Transit.

2.2.1 Standalone Configuration

In this configuration, all components (server-side and client-side) of SecurOS Transit will be installed on
one Video Server in the SecurOS security network. This configuration is typical for relatively small
systems, allowing for all types of SecurOS specific tasks to be done from one Computer: connection of
equipment, system administration, monitoring, and management of data coming from the installed
module(s).

www.issivs.com
 SecurOS Transit 11 User Guide
General Description

2.2.2 Server-Workstation Configuration

In this type of configuration, components of SecurOS Transit are installed on different computers
according to their types: server-side components on a Video Server, and client-side components — on a
Operator Workstation. Database can be installed on any network Computer.

In this case, the Video Server will be responsible for performing the recognition of the carriage numbers,
saving the results into a database, and storing the video archive associated with the results. The
Operator Workstation will be used for video monitoring purposes and for working with the system GUI.

Installing system components on computers with different types of pre-installed SecurOS software is
described in the Installing Software.

2.2.3 Distributed Configuration

In this case the Module software can be installed on different Computers: several servers and
workstations. Therefore each Computer will be responsible for performing certain tasks.

This configuration is intended to use for security systems with intense data streams. With the use of a
distributed configuration, computational tasks will be assigned to separate Computers to make the
functionality of the Module more efficient and balanced.

Module server-side components have to be installed on the Video Servers only. Module client-side
components — on the Operator Workstations (see Installing Software). Data exchange between Operator
Workstations and Video Servers is done through the TCP/IP network.

In this case (in a distributed configuration) the following tasks can be performed on the Video Servers:
· video capture and saving video in the archive;
· wagon numbers recognition;
· data processing and analyzing.

The Operator Workstation will be used for video monitoring purposes and for working with the system
GUI.

Information concerning recognized wagon numbers will be saved on the database server.

Note. A distributed server-workstation configuration allows for a further increase of the computational
resources by adding servers targeted to each specific task.

Deploying Module

3 Deploying Module
Module installation procedure consists of the following stages:
1. Check system requirements of the servers and workstations (see Sections Server Requirements To
Install Recognition Module and Operator Workstation and SecurOS Transit Dedicated DB Server
Requirements).
2. Installing Hardware on each server (for example, video cameras, sensors etc.).
3. Installing Software.

3.1 Installing Hardware

This section provides guidelines for the installation of cameras and lighting, which if followed will
provide the best recognition results.

3.1.1 Installing video cameras

The video cameras have to be installed directly next to the permanent way. The best camera position is
frontal view on carriage number. The optimal distance from the camera to the carriage is determined by
camera lens characteristics (minimum distance — 3 m, maximum distance — 30 m).

Note. Camera also can be installed at 1 meter distance from the carriage passing (in this case it can be
necessary to apply Camera Calibration Utility to remove image distortion, see Camera Calibration Utility).

Cameras has to be mounted at a height of 2 – 4 meters. Width of the zone controlled by a single camera
is up to 10 meters and is specified by camera settings (see Transit: Number recognizer).

If sensors are used (see Sensors), then camera view background should not be one-coloured.

There are some guidelines for choosing and setting up video cameras below.

Warning! Wrong installation may cause carriage numbers recognition errors.

· Camera type. Use a standard analog video camera. It is recommended to use a monochrome camera
with high resolution and 1/2" or 1/3" interleave transfer sensor.
· Camera lens type. It is helpful to use cameras with auto-zoom lenses. The upper limit of the focal
length must be more then 80 mm. Such lenses allow you to get contrast images of carriages from
any distances. Set up the aperture to get the result when a distance between bay and freight car top
takes up all frame on the screen width.
· Camera features. Additional camera features like automatic focus and camera shake correction
should be disabled.
· Camera with auto-aperture (ELC). Auto-aperture may be used when there are no quick brightness
changes within the camera view. In other cases, this feature has to be turned off.

To setup the iris diaphragm do the following:

www.issivs.com
 SecurOS Transit 13 User Guide
Deploying Module

1. Turn the lens to auto-aperture mode

2. Almost shade the camera aperture.
3. Make some snap-shots of carriages passing.
4. Watch the created images from the video-archive.

If these images are blurry, slightly open the aperture and repeat the procedure.

· Electronic shutter. Use cameras with high resolution and manual exposure time of 1/2000 or
1/5000 seconds.
· Sensitivity. It is recommended to use cameras with high sensitivity (for darkened conditions), e. g.
0.1–0.001 lux.
· Camera angle of rotation. The camera should be installed in such a way that the horizontal lines in
the image are parallel to the horizontal edges of the frame. Possible skew is at most 10°.
· Camera angle of inclination. The best camera position is that the carriages move transversely to
camera view. Some deviations are acceptable: horizontal — not more than 5°, and vertical — not
more than 35°.

Warning! On system deploying picture frequency from recognition camera has to be not less than 25 fps to see
each carriage number completely at least on three contiguous frames at common carriage velocities.

3.1.2 Using multiple cameras

Besides recognition camera one can also connect other cameras to the SecurOS computer, if your video
capture board supports it (see Figure 2). This cameras will record video synchronously with
corresponding recognition camera.

Figure 2. Using multiple cameras

3.1.3 Illumination

There is enough natural lighting on a sunny day (at least 50 lux required). However at night time it is
required to use illumination with intensity of 300 lux in the control zone.

Note. There has to be no glare on the receiving video and no exposure on the obtained image.

www.issivs.com
 SecurOS Transit 14 User Guide
Deploying Module

At night time additional light sources can be used, e. g. spotlights with either 500–1000 watt
incandescent lamp or 250–400 watt Gas Discharge Lamp. Also setting four 500 watt searchlights on a
track one can achieve similar intensity results.

3.1.4 Sensors

For more reliable by carriages train partition use sensors, e. g. light sensors. This ensures a reliable
division of the train on wagons. Recommended sensors are listed in Appendix A. Recommended
Sensors.

3.1.4.1 Recommendations to Install and Configure Sensors

To divide a train on wagons it is enough to use one or several sensors which "cover" a vertical plane in
several meters distance from the optical axis of the camera. Horizontal distance from the camera site (in
meters) is specified in a number recognizer object settings (see Transit: Number recognizer). it is
proved experimentally that if a train, passing through the camera view consists of all types of carriages
(tanks, flatcars, hoppers, gondolas etc.), it is quite a difficult to register a presence of any of them by
single sensor. Certain cars (for example, hoppers) have a non-solid load frame, that can result in a false
triggering of a single-beam sensor. In such case it is recommended to use a multi-beam sensors which
rays lies in the same vertical plane and common result output is a logical function of states of separate
beams. When at least one beam of the six is occluded it denotes presence of a carriage, and when no
beam is occluded it indicates absence of a train or wagon gap.

Warning! Install receivers and transmitters so that they cover only one railway.

When selecting sensors it is necessary to take into account maximal speed of a passing trains and also
sensor's triggering time (beam opening and closing duration, which can be, in addition, different for a
single sensor). Do not use IR sensor for fast moving trains as it has delays on triggering and alarm
signal delivery. For some models of sensors triggering time is an adjustable parameter. More important
sensor parameter is beam opening response time. When train speed is about 15 m/sec (approximately
60 km/h), a gap of a meter will exhausted in a 60 msec. So, sensor's beam opening response time will
not be more than several milliseconds for the fast moving trains. Use fast-acting industrial IR or laser
sensors of wide temperature interval, e. g. Connect 3 (series W 18-3 WS/ WE 18-3) photovoltaic sensors.

Note. For the slow trains (for example, moving through the enterprise site) sensor with more slow response
time are suitable.

On connecting sensors to TVISS8IO board use ones with dry relay contact.

Settings of the Sensor object for each type of sensors are described in System Operation section.

3.1.4.2 Setting up Sensors to Support Manoeuvring Mode

Detecting with the help of 3 sensors

Use of several (or rather, three) sensors installed on different distances from the camera becomes
necessary, if it is requred to count carriages and recognize their numbers correctly when train

Install the three sensors so that the gap between the cars was more than the distance between two
adjacent sensors, and less than the distance between the extreme sensors (see Figure 3):
Lmax < D Ј 2*Lmin

Figure 3. Sensors installation

L value for two cars is determined by the specific scheme of installation of the detector, the geometry of
the standard hitch, and the presence of adjacent structures. Suppose, that for any combination of
hitched cars a Lmax і L і Lmin relation holds. To avoid detection error when determining a gap
between carriages with specified above on-off ratio, it is necessary to impose Vmax maximal train speed
limitation. The gap between the cars is guaranteed detected if the displacement of trains between
polling detector does not exceed Lmin, i.e., if Lmin/ Vmax і 0.1 sec.

Note. The value of 0.1 s, used in relation, means sensor switching rate and is given as an example. True
sensor switching rate can differ from given one and depends on sensor's type and model.

If Lmin is expressed in meters, then this condition means that Vmax Ј 36*Lmin km/h. By standardizing a
hitch the difference between Lmax and Lmin can (and must) be reduced or minimized — this will
expand a range of D value and increase system reliability.

Detecting with the help of 4 sensors

In some cases the Lmax < D Ј 2*Lmin limitation can not be implemented. For example, it will be when
Lmax > 2*Lmin. In these cases it is necessary to use such a scheme of installation of the detectors, which
weakens the limitation specified above. One of these scheme of installation is the asymmetric scheme
with 4 sensors (see Figure 4).

Figure 4. Asymmetrical scheme with 4 sensors

Deploying Module

Install the three sensors in such a way that the distance between two adjacent sensors was less than the
minimum gap between the cars, i.e. D/ 2 < Lmin. The limitation D > Lmax that concern the distance
between outer sensors within the group can be ignored. The fourth sensor is an indicator and should be
installed so that the distance between it and the more distant sensor of the first group exceeds the
maximum length of the gap between the cars K > Lmax. Indicator sensor can be placed both on the left
and on the right of the main sensor group.

Limitation of the maximal speed of the train for this scheme is similar to the scheme with 3 sensors.

Manoeuvring support mode is specified in the Transit: Number recognizer object settings (see Algorithm
settings Tab in the Transit: Number recognizer).

4.1.3.2.1 Visual Configuring Tool

The utility allows to simplify the Module setup procedure. The setting principle is to define top and
bottom borders of several wagons and contour its numbers.

The marking should be carried out on several frames, which must be selected taking into account the
diversity of passing wagon types and their numbers.

Warning!
1. Before starting visual configuring one should eliminate distortions of the source video with the help
of the Camera Calibration Utility and apply these settings in SecurOS Transit. After that Visual
Configuring Tool will work with corrected images that allows to increase localization and
recognition quality.
2. If the resolution of the source video stream is not multiple of 8, the distortions will not be
eliminated, even if the parameters of such transformations are specified and loaded into SecurOS

To configure recognizer parameters by the utility do the following:

1. Export several frames of moving train in JPEG format (see SecurOS Quick User Guide).
2. In the Localization settings tab of the Transit: Number recognizer object settings window click the Set
up using utility button.

Since, when working with the utility, it is almost impossible to load and process frames with all
possible types of passing wagons and their numbers (there is no video, time consuming, etc.), specified
parameters should be corrected manually after preliminary setting with the help of utility.

Parameters must be corrected tacking into account the following:

· train can include wagons of different types;
· relative sizes of wagons of different types and their numbers;
· wagon numbers can have non-standard sizes, etc.

4.1.3.2.2 Settings Visualization in the Media Client

Visualization of number detection settings in the Media Client simplifies the Module setup.

Warning!
1. Before starting visual configuring one should eliminate distortions of the source video with the help
of the Camera Calibration Utility and apply these settings in SecurOS Transit.
2. If the resolution of the source video stream is not multiple of 8, the distortions will not be
eliminated, even if the parameters of such transformations are specified and loaded into SecurOS
Transit.

To enable settings visualization in the Media Client select the Media Client in the Use Media Client
for settings visualization field on the Localization settings tab of the Transit: Number recognizer object.

As a result, three green rectangles appear (see Figure 33) in the cell of the Camera, specified in the
Analyze video from camera group on the Source and output tab. The size of these rectangles
corresponds to the parameters specified in the Number detection and speed estimation group on the

Parameter Description

Select an option to divide train into wagons:

· Using sensors — train will be divided into wagons on

the base of sensor's triggering. The Sensor (see SecurOS
Administration Guide) or the Transit: Pattern detector
object can be used as a sensor. Sensor requirements are
described in the Sensors, Templet Image Requirements
and Configuring Thresholds Using Archive Video
sections. The logic of sensors operation must be
configured properly (see Notes at the end of the System
Operation section).
Way to divide train into wagons
· Wagon counting using visual estimation
(less reliable) — train will divided into wagons on
the base of the video data analysis. This method can be
applied only for presentations, when the background is
plenty textured. It should certainly not be used as a main
operative method, especially when Transit: Consolidator
is applied.

· External signals — train will divided into wagons

on the base of signals received from the external system.
In this mode other tab parameters are disabled.

Allows to select processing mode for the signals transferred

by sensors:

· For the One sensor mode it is necessary to specify

parameters of the Central sensor.

· In Composite sensor mode the Central sensor signal is

used to divide train on wagons (like in One sensor
mode), and the end of the train is detected if all three
sensors (Left sensor, Central sensor and Right sensor)
are not shielded.

Working mode · Manoeuvring support (3 sensors) mode allows to the

letter recognize wagon number, that stays directly in
camera view. This mode, however, can be used only if
three sensors are installed in accordance with several
requirements (see Setting up Sensors to Support
Manoeuvring Mode).

· In Manoeuvring support (4 rays) the Indicator

sensor is enabled (see the Sensor group of parameters).
This mode is similar to the Manoeuvring support (3

select from the list an appropriate object (Sensor or Transit:
Sensor
Pattern detector) that will be represent this sensor within the
system.

For each sensor specify real displacement relative to the

Location relative to frame center
frame center, in meters. When shifting to the left, the value
(meters)
must be indicated with a minus sign.

Select maximal beam break interval, which will not be

assumed wagon's board appearing. In this way, you can
weed out "ghost" wagons, which occur when the beam is
Ignore beam breaks shorter than temporarily blocked by protruding structural elements such
(ms) carriages as the hopper. This parameter must be selected
taking into account the maximal train speed in the current
wagon numbers reading spot. Typical value is 1/6 - 1/8 of
the minimal wagon passing time in the camera view.

Specify the required interval (in seconds). Parameter is used

Minimal interval between trains to notify an analyzer that if visual marker is not occlused
(seconds) during specified time interval, then train is not in camera
view.

4.1.4 Transit: Assisting recognizer

The object is used when several recognizers are working, it works with the Transit: Number recognizer
object/objects (see Transit: Number recognizer). Also the Transit: Assisting recognizer can be used when
not only the tanks but platforms are passing through the camera view. In this case it is possible to set
camera of the main Recognizer to fix carriage numbers.

Note. The Transit: Assisting recognizer object purpose is similar to the Transit: Number recognizer object, but it
cannot exchange events with SecurOS, so cannot write recognition results to database.

The object settings window is similar to the Transit: Number recognizer object one. The only difference is
that on the Source and output tab the fields of the Direction names (relative to camera's point of view)
block are inactive, and the Redirect results to consolidator option is always active and cannot be
disabled. So, the Redirect results to database field is also always inactive because the object does not
have rights to write to database.

Note. It is important to remember that if the Transit: Assisting recognizer running away from the camera,
looking over to the side of the carriage other than the main camera Recognizer, and if the three rays are used,
then the left ray of the main Recognizer is right for the assisting one, and the right ray of the main, respectively,
is the left of the assisting one.

For consolidation of recognition results from more then two sources it is necessary to make
consolidation objects tree. As Consolidator gets data with delay to to eliminate asynchronous operation
of the Recognizers the results from each Recognizer must pass through the similar number of Consolidators
(see example below).

Example. For consolidation of recognition results from more three Recognizers create the following
objects:
· assisting Consolidator to receive results from 1st and 2nd Recognizers;
· assisting Consolidator to receive results from 3d Recognizer (set the same Recognizer twice in the
property window as a main and supplementary one);
· closer (main) Consolidator that will unit results of the Consolidators described above.

The query, specified in this tab, will be used by SecurOS Transit as a template query to return data,
relevant to wagon number. These returned data will be displayed in the Lists tab (see Working with
Lists Tab section).

Set the following parameters:

· Query — type SQL-query, which will be used to retrieve data. For the created data source it will
be as follows:

SELECT comment FROM Transit.dbo.black_list WHERE number = ?, where:

· Comment — table field, that contains data to retrieve.

· Transit.dbo.black_list — table of the database instance, specified in Microsoft SQL
Server format.

Warning! Format of the queried table name specified in the query string depends on used DBMS.

· number — query condition, in example this is the field of the number column in the
Transit.dbo.black_list table, that contains wagon number.

· Parameter bindings — this is the table, where correspondence between entities of the database
table and query parameters is established. To establish a correspondence click the Bind
parameters button. In example, the query condition is specified as number=?, where ? — a value
of the "wagon number" entity, stored in the table. SecurOS Transit, as a rule, uses data sample
relevant to the queried wagon number, so this entity is used in the Parameter bindings table by

default. Thus, it is established that Plate query parameter corresponds to "wagon number"
entity.

In the Value field specify wagon number value in that form, in which it is stored in the database. Click
the Bind parameters button. The Test button will be enabled.
5. Click the Test button. If connection and query parameters are specified correctly, system will display
the following window (see Figure 52):

If it is known in advance that the comment field, relevant to the correctly specified wagon number,
contains data, these data will be displayed in the <The result is> string. The <empty string>
query result means, that there is no any additional data in the table (comment field) relevant to the
specified license plate (58883463) or this wagon number does not exist, but the query itself executed
correctly.
6. To finish configuring the connection click the OK button in the External database properties

4.1.7 Transit: Pattern detector

This object allows to divide train on carriages on the base of analysis result if visual marker (or templet),
installed next to railways in the camera field of view, is visible. As a rule, a templet is an special column
painted in black and white stripes. Example of such templet is represented in Figure 54.

Figure 54. Templet example

Detecting the occlusion of the templet, this object sends a message to the Transit: Number recognizer
object, that is identical to the one that comes from Sensor object. When configuring given object it is
necessary to specify the file that includes cropped image of the templet and coordinates of the point of
the frame next to where presence of this templet will be checked. Also a detection thresholds of the
carriages and intercar intervals must be specified. These settings are described in details in the
Configuring Thresholds Using Archive Video section.

It should be remembered, that given method to divide train on carriages is normally used when
recognizing carriage numbers of a passing through train is performed (Transit operation mode,
see Transit: Pattern detector). Like a one ray method, this method is not really suitable for the number
recognizing of the manoeuvring trains.

One can create several sensors on the base of templets in one Transit: Pattern detector object. This allows
use it in Composite sensor and Manoeuvring support modes (see Algorythm settings Tab). Each of
these sensors is a separate visual marker installed next to the railway tracks.

Warning! When selecting sensors in the Sensor block (see Algorithm settings Tab) one must take into
account that Sensor 1 specified in object settings must correspond to the Left sensor, Sensor 2 must
correspond to the Central sensor and Sensor 3 to the Right sensor.

4.1.7.1 Templet Image Requirements

Standard templet
Templet (template file) is itself a prepared image of the visual marker, used by Transit: Pattern detector
object to divide trains on carriages. Such file can be created on the base of archive frame, obtained in
the real condition of the system operation.

The main requirements to the visual marker is that it should contain a sufficient number of contrast
elements and not to be too small, because this reduces the reliability of detection of occlusion. In
addition, it is important that the visual marker was flat, otherwise the image will be distorted in the
process of movement of the sun across the sky. It is convenient, but not obligatory, to use as a visual
marker a striped column with the described below parameters of paint.

If in the specific conditions of use of the SecurOS Transit Moule an empty well cars can moving in
camera view, then to detect occlusion it is necessary to use that part of the visual marker, which is
visible above hooking device and lies lower than distant side of the well car, which is visible in a frame.

Visual marker presents itself a column, that is painted in alternating black and white stripes. The frame,
which can be used to create templet file, must meet the following requirements:
· Image of the column in a frame must be sharp;
· Width of the textured surface of the column in a frame must be not less than 10 — 12 pixels.
· Height of the stripes must be a bit less than its width (about 6 — 9 pixels);
· Image of the column must include not less than 3 — 4 black and white stripes.

Templet with arbitrary visual marker

Templet, that is used to detect occlusion, actually represents a rectangle circumscribed around the used
visual marker. This rectangle is circumscribed around the marker in that way, as its sides are parallel to
the coordinate axis of the frame (see Figure 56). Visual marker is considered to be occluded if an object
overlaps any area of the templet.

www.issivs.com
 SecurOS Transit 67 User Guide
Module Administration

Figure 56. Templet examples

When preparing a standard templet it is assumed that visual marker is has a standard form of rectangle
and installed strictly vertical (position 1 in Figure 56). In this case size of the templet image
(circumscribed rectangle) is equal to size of the visual marker, i.e. all area of the templet image is valid
to detect occlusion.
In case the marker is slanted, is seen in a perspective or has an arbitrary form, than the full templet area
(circumscribed rectangle) will include both the valid and background parts of an image (positions 2 and
3 in Figure 56). In this case valid part of the templet will correspond to visual marker and background
part to all other area of the circumscribed rectangle. When such a templet is used then occlusion will be
detected even if object overlaps the templet in its background area, not the visual marker. Another one,
the worse, case is if changing in the background area is caused not by occlusion and by, for example,
moving on the templet background, that also will be interpreted as an occlusion.

To eliminate detection in such cases valid and background parts of the templet must be separated.
Image is separated with the help of mask that must be located in the same folder as the templet file.

This mask cab be created, for example, in Adobe PhotoShop image editor:
· select the valid area of the initial templet image (it can be the whole marker or its part that is used to
detect an occlusion);
· image with the selected area (mask) is placed into the gray scaled alfa-channel of the image;
· rendering of the image is performed: the valid part (visual marker) is colored in white (non-
transparent area) and the background parts - in black (transparent area);
· created mask is saved as an 8-bit .bmp-file that is should be located in the same folder as an initial
templet file. Mask file name is formed from the templet file name by adding an _Alfa suffix. For
example, if templet file name is the X_320-Y_450.bmp, then the mask file name should be the
X_320-Y_450_Alfa.bmp.

Example of templet and it's mask is represented on Figure 57.

4.1.7.2 Configuring Thresholds Using Archive Video

Recognition thresholds (Transit: Pattern detector’s object Gap threshold and Wagon detection threshold
parameters) can be set with the help of the archive video record.

Gap threshold is the lower threshold, i.e. value at which the state of the column (visual marker)
switches from "not visible" (sensor is closed) to "visible" (sensor is opened). Wagon detection threshold
is the upper threshold, i.e. value at which the state of column (visual marker) switches from
"visible" (sensor is opened) to "not visible" (sensor is closed).

Values can be adjusted with the help of post_ray.exe utility, located in SecurOS Transit Module root
folder (for example, C:\Program Files\ISS\SecurOS\Modules\Transit).

To adjust thresholds do the following:

1. Open C:\Program Files (x86)\ISS\SecurOS\Modules\Transit folder, create label for the

post_ray.exe utility and specify C:\Program Files (x86)\ISS\SecurOS value for the Start
in parameter (see Figure 58).

2. Launch utility with the help of created label and open file of archived video, that will be used to
prepare visual marker's (column) image file. Use mouse click to stop record on the frame, where
visual marker is completely visible in the gap between trains' wagons.

Note. Use left click to pause record/resume playback. To list frames in pause mode use N key.

3. Save suitable frame in .bmp format executing Operations ® Make screenshot command

In a distributed client-server configuration, within SecurOS network, there may be several Video Servers
on which recognition is performed, and several Operator Workstations intended for working with
recognition results. For example, Recognizers are located on one or several Video Servers, Transit: Logic
module is located on the other Video Server, and monitoring and work with recognized wagon numbers
is performed on Operator Workstations.

To configure SecurOS Transit in this configuration do the following:

1. Create required number of the servers as it described in Standalone Configuration section.

2. Make sure the SecurOS network is configured for WINS name resolution or there is a non-empty
hosts file located in the Windows system folder \System32\drivers\etc on the operator
workstations connected to the security network.

Note. To check name resolution, run the ping command on the operator workstations and put the computer
network name of the Video Server (doing the wagon numbers recognition) as a command parameter. Check the
network traffic between the computers.

3. In the Computer object settings, which will be used as Video Server, specify one ar several disks to
store video archive, and also create required Video Capture Devices and children Camera objects (see
Standalone Configuration section).
4. Select Computer, which will be used as database server, and create Database child object
(see Database section). Define database for recognized number records and retention period
optionally. Specify parameters of the Database object and configure the connection to external IP
addresses (see Standalone Configuration).

Wagon Log
Wagon Log is a list of the wagon numbers that have been analyzed. List is represented as a table each
record of which contains the following data:
· Color indicator for the "alarmed" wagon number checking result by one of the lists;
· Recognizer/Consolidator ID;
· Date and time of wagon passing in the camera field of view and the moment of the best number
recognition;
· Train ID (Stock # column);

Note. If appropriate checkbox is selected in the Transit: GUI object settings (see Display Tab) this column is
not displayed.

· Wagon serial number;

· Recognition result (wagon number);
· Indicator of manual number editing (if it was);
· Comment to the recognized wagon number (see Working with Lists Tab);
· Wagon moving direction (is specified in the Transit: Number recognizer object settings, see Source
and output Tab) and in the Transit: Consolidator object settings (see Transit: Consolidator).

Set of the Wagon Log's table columns can be changed by operator "on the fly". To change a set of
displayed columns it is enough simply right click the table head and to select required columns in the
context menu (see Figure 69).

Train Log
Train Log is a list of the trains passed in the Recognizer's camera field of view. In this case, besides
Recognizer ID, as well as the date and time of the passage each train is assigned number, the direction
and the number of carriages.

Each record of the Train log contains the follow information:

· Recognizer/Consolidator ID;
· Train ID (Stock # column);
· wagon moving direction (is specified in the Transit: Number recognizer object settings, see Source
and output Tab) and in the Transit: Consolidator object settings (see Transit: Consolidator).
· Total quantity of recognized carriages of this train;
· Transit date and time (date and time of recognition).

Operations with the Train Log table columns is the same as operations with the columns of the Wagon
Log table (see above).

To browse the train’s carriages, double click the corresponding record of the Train Log. Log will switch

5.1.1.1 Automatic and Manual Protocol Modes

Protocol may work in two modes: Automatic and Manual. The highlighting of the corresponding
button in the Protocol window is an indicator of the current mode (see Figure 70).

Figure 70. Module working mode indication

Automatic mode
Automatic mode is used for passive monitoring — in this mode operator can't edit recognized numbers,
perform a search, add numbers to the watchlists, etc. When working in Automatic mode operator
interface appearance is the following:
· The Automatic mode button is pressed and highlighted in blue.
· List of the recognized wagon numbers is updated automatically at each new recognition. New
recognition record is always added to the top of the list.
· Cameras of the Media Client are in live mode; one can observe wagon passing in real time mode.
· In the details window (see Working in Details Window) the information concerning new
recognition is displayed (current entry). Information in the window is automatically updated at
each new recognition.

Notes:
1. The current record is always located at the top of the list.
2. Number of records to display is specified by the system administrator. At each new recognition the
latest record is replaced by the new one.

Manual mode
Manual mode is used for working with recognition results — editing wagon numbers, searching wagon
numbers in the database, editing wagon numbers in the watchlists databases, adding comments, etc.
When working in the Manual mode, operator interface appearance is the following:
· The Manual mode button is pressed and highlighted in blue.
· List of the recognized wagon numbers is updated automatically at each new recognition. A new
record is always added to the top of the list.
· When selecting entry in the list of the recognized wagon number list the Camera on the Media Client
is switched to the archive mode and "the best frame" is displayed. See also Media Client features
when switching protocol modes.
· In the details window (see Working in Details Window) the information concerning new
recognition is displayed (current entry). Information in the window is not updated at a new
recognition.

5.1.1.2 Switching Protocol Modes

The Automatic mode is set each time when module starts.

To switch to the Manual mode one can use one of the following methods:
· click the Manual mode button in the Protocol window (see Figure 70).
· select a record in the Protocol's list of the recognized wagon numbers.

Note. Module switches to the Manual mode automatically when operator performs operations in the Details
window and also when operator activates the Search or Lists tabs.

To switch back to the Automatic mode click the Automatic mode button (see Figure 70).

Media Client features when switching protocol modes

If operator selected a record in the protocol list to switch to the Manual mode, then all Cameras
associated with selected record (or, if to be more precise, with appropriate Recognizer, see Transit:
Number recognizer) will be displayed in the Media Client in archive mode. In this case the following
restrictions are applied:
· Not more than 4 Cameras can be displayed in the Media Client. If more than 4 Cameras were
specified in the Recognizer settings, then only first 4 Cameras (in order) are displayed.
· 1x1 or 2x2 layout is used depending of the Cameras number.
· Archives of all displayed Cameras are synchronized by the time of the recognition event, generated
by the recognition Camera (see description of the Analyze video from camera in the Source and
output Tab).

When switching back to the Automatic mode the following rules are applied:
· All Cameras are switched to the live mode.
· The Media Client's layout, that was used before switching to the Manual mode, is restored.
· Cameras are placed in the layout's cells in that order, which was used before switching to the Manual
mode.

See also:
· Working with Search Tab.
· Working with Lists Tab.
· Working in Details Window.

5.1.1.3 Working with Results Tab Records

To view frame associated with the wagon number (to select it), click it.
The corresponding carriage and train logs records will be marked. Media Client will enter the video
archive mode and will display a "stop frame" of the carriage corresponding to the carriage number. This
carriage number will be displayed in the Details window (see Working in Details Window). Train log
will display trail corresponding to wagon number.

Warning! If several Recognizers including Assisting are used for recognition, then all Cameras selected in the
Analyze video from cameras block of each Recognizer settings will be switched to archive mode. Archive time
will be synchronized by the time of the main Recognizer's Camera.

Figure 71. Selecting the camera to display the archival frame with the carriage number

Keep in mind, that if one camera can view the carriage number, the other one installed on the opposite
carriage side, most likely can't at the same time. As far as all cameras are synchronized by time, then
when using Consolidator (see Transit: Consolidator) the carriage number will be seen only on one
camera for the selected Protocol record. To view carriage number on the other camera select required
Protocol record and choose wanted camera in drop-down context menu (see Figure 71).

To browse and display results from any Recognizer/Consolidator, click appropriate button to the
right from Protocol (the button will be highlighted).

To remove results from any Recognizer/Consolidator from the Protocol, click appropriate
highlighted button (highlighting of this button will be dropped down).

· carriage number is found in the list, but is not valid;
· carriage number is not found.

Number is valid, if its recognition time stamp belongs to time interval specified for this number in the
list. Only completely recognized carriage number is checked, i.e. number, for which all eight digits are
defined and which has a correct check sum.

Results of carriage number checking is displayed in the Wagon log of the Protocol window and, more
detailed, in Details window ( see Working in Details Window) in accordance with checking results
specified in the Additional tab of the Transit: GUI object settings. The list are identical for each copy of
the Transit: GUI object, but priorities of the results displaying are configured for each copy separately.

Lists can be both "internal" and "external". "Internal" list represents the section of the SecurOS Transit
Module own database, while "external" list is represented by external databases, specified in the Transit:
Logic module's object settings (see External databases Tab). Method that is used to maintain an external
lists in actual state is defined by Module administrator. Several "internal" and "external" lists can be
used simultaneously to check a number.

Lists tab of the Protocol window is used to create and edit "internal" lists in manual mode.

The appearance of tab is shown in Figure 73.

5.3 Working with Media Client

The Media Client is used to manage video from the cameras in the system. Using the video monitor a
user can view live video streams, control PTZ cameras, view/playback archived video, perform smart
searches for video, export video sequences, and much more.

For more information how to work with the Media Client (e.g. switching layouts and cameras, working
with archive, image zoom) see SecurOS Quick User Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

6 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: How can I put previously recorded video in SecurOS interface?

To put previously recorded video in SecurOS interface do the following:

1. Copy file of previously recorded video to the software root folder (e. g. C:\Program
Files\ISS\SecurOS) and rename this file as X._Y, where X — integer number from 0 till 31, Y —
integer number from 1 till 16.
2. Create Video Capture Device object (see SecurOS Administration Guide) in SecurOS object tree and
set the following parameters:
· Type ® select the Virtual value from the drop-down list box;
· PCI Channel ® select the X value (see item 1). For example, if the file name was 0._01, then one
need to set the 0 value.

Warning! Channel number should not coincide with channels used in other Video Capture Device objects on the
same computer, otherwise the video will not be displayed on the video monitor. In this case rename the file by
changing its X value to make it differ from any number of already used channels.

3. Create Camera object as a child one for the just created Video Capture Device object (see item 2). Define
a channel number: set the Y value (see item 1). For example, if the file name was 0._01, then one
need to set the 1 value.

Question: What value must be set for the "Pre-recording phase duration" Camera object parameter?

In Pre-recording phase duration one need to set an average time of train passing in camera view. It is
recommended to set a value not less than 10 seconds. Setting less than 10 seconds may cause system
errors.

7.2 Appendix B: Checking Recognition Quality

The wagon.exe executable file can be run in standalone mode, not required SecurOS start. In this mode
video is taken fron video archive. For train segmentation one can use either video or file with
information of each carriage passing.

To check the quality of recognition using archive video do the following:

1. Launch wagon.exe.
2. Choose file ® open configuration from XML file item from the menu.
3. Choose XML file of recognizer settings.
4. Visually set the quality of the system. If it is necessary edit this configuration file by editing the
follow fields:
· Configuration/ video_source/ iplus_archive/ folder — video archive folder name.
· Configuration/ ocr_data/ ocr_data_item/ path — service information folder name (creating on
Module installation).
· Configuration/ segmenter/ type — data type used for train segmentation. Possible values:
- ray_emulation — use image analysis on train partition. The
Configuration/ segmenter/ ray_emulation group defines a segmentation algorithm parameters.
Edit TopLine and BottomLine fields only. These fields define top and bottom lines, respectively,

www.issivs.com
 SecurOS Transit 97 User Guide
Appendixes

for train segmentation. Unit of measure - the percentage of the height of the frame count is
conducted from the top of the frame;
- ray_from_timing_file — use information of each carriage passing to divide train. The
Configuration/ segmenter/ ray_from_timing_file group defines an algorithm parameters. There is
a path to the information file, containing wagon coming/outgoing times, in the FileName field.
· Configuration/ segmenter/ MinTimeBetweenTrains — minimal timeout of trains passing (in
seconds).
· Configuration/ Localizator — fields that are used for number localization algorithm configuration:
- TopLine/ BottomLine — top and bottom number localizer lines (%);
- NumberWidth / NumberHeight — approximate carriage numder width/height (%).

Note. It is recommended to configure right train partition first and then set localizator lines parameters.

After loading configuration file the follow information is displaying: (see Figure 76):
