6) AXIS Object Analytics enhancements

New capabilities include Crossline counting and Occupancy in the area

AXIS Object Analytics is multifeatured video analytics that comes preinstalled on compatible Axis cameras, adding value at no extra cost. It detects and classifies humans, vehicles, and types of vehicles.

The newest AXIS Object Analytics offerings are Crossline counting and Occupancy in area, which provide users with the ability to count objects crossing a virtual line or within a defined area, respectively.

Crossline counting feature

The Crossline counting feature counts objects that cross a virtual tripwire in a defined direction.

An event can be triggered whenever a set number of selected objects have crossed the line, while data can be collected either separately or simultaneously to events.

Occupancy in the area feature

The Occupancy in Area feature allows the user to define an area to count selected objects

The Occupancy in Area feature allows the user to define an area to count selected objects, providing an estimate of occupancy levels in real-time.

Any objects outside the area will be ignored.

Key enhancements

These analytics provide valuable information to the user, including the ability to:

Gain actionable insights and identify peak traffic hours across different locations.
Quantify and evaluate the impact of measures taken on traffic flow.
Notify personnel when a facility requires maintenance based on usage.
Monitor queue lengths and analyse visitor trends to optimise resource allocation and reduce costs.
Understand the flow of movement and estimate occupancy levels within areas of interest.

AXIS Object Analytics Crossline counting and AXIS Occupancy Analytics Object in the area will be available in November 2023. Each of these new solutions will be demoed, along with more of Axis’ latest products, at ISC East, booth #711.
