“My detector” – your unique video surveillance system

My detector in Xeoma

 


My detector iconMy detector module allows users to add and train their own detectors based on neural network technologies in Xeoma. By means of this module one can create a module in Xeoma based on a 3rd-party utility. This module will be suitable for integration with different utilities and plugins and creating a separate “My detector” neurodetector. This module is included in Xeoma Pro edition.

 

 

TYPICAL USES

The new “My detector” module in Xeoma is a way of integration with third-party utilities capable of detecting the desired objects or phenomena, so the application scenarios can be very diverse. Examples below:

 

My detector can be used in production to detect defective goods on a conveyor belt

Production

Can be used to detect defective goods on the conveyor belt.

Automatic smoke detection in the smart home system will help prevent fire

Smart home

Automatic smoke or fire detection will help trigger fire and security alarms.

My detector will be an excellent assistant at a weather station

Weather station

Detect cloud cover or precipitation and make weather forecasts more accurately.

 
 

My detector can be used in hospitals to detect fallen patients

Hospital

Some patients are often not allowed to stand up because they are weak and may faint and fall. The detector will help to detect such patients in time, reducing the time for assistance.

Automatic detection of specified objects

Safe city

The module can recognize certain objects: for example, cars of the needed color. Can be used, for example, to intercept lawbreakers.

Recognition of safety compliance at the construction site

Construction site

The detector can recognize the presence of safety equipment in the frame – for example, a rope or a helmet. Useful to recognize safety compliance.

 
 

My Detector can be used to detect employees using their mobile phones during working hours

Office

Detection of idling using a mobile phone camera or a standalone video camera in the office to monitor the employees’ efficiency and quality of work.

Detection of smiling customers to improve service quality

Shop

Detection of different emotions – for example, smiling. It is used to improve the quality of service and increase sales.

Recognition of a full or empty parking lot

Parking lot

The detector can recognize a full or empty parking lot.

 

NO SPECIAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

No special equipment required
 
An ordinary modern computer can cope with the load from the module.

 

Any camera can be used with My detector module
 
You can use any camera: no expensive cameras with built-in sensors and artificial intelligence capabilities are required.

 

Works on multiple OS: from Linux to Android
 
Works on multiple operation systems: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Linux (ARM architecture), Android and even Raspberry!

 

HOW IT WORKS

My detector allows users to add and train their own detectors based on their neural networks in Xeoma.

The module requires a path to an external DLL. The DLL should be able to do the following:

1) accept and process JPG-images
2) respond with 2D coordinates of the detected objects
3) respond with names of the detected objects

Xeoma will highlight those objects with frames and put their names on screen. You can perform searches by object types in the archive as well.

Here you will find samples of suitable libraries (test1 generates random objects and coordinates; test2 always returns the same objects and coordinates) and a sample of building a library for various OSes:

HOW TO TEST

1. Download Xeoma from official website and launch it. Make sure your Xeoma is in a trial edition or activate a Pro edition license.
2. Add a camera or let Xeoma add a default one for you.
3. Add the My detector module to a chain.
4. Add to the chain necessary filters and reactions after the module.
5. Set up My detector module, specifying the path to the required dynamic library

Ready!
