SentiVeillance Cluster
Ready-to-use software for easy integration of biometric face identification, vehicle and pedestrian classification and tracking, as well as automatic license plate recognition.
Technical details
Face size
4 % of the frame’s larger side (at least 32 pixels) is the minimal recommended distance between eyes for a face on video stream. The performance depend on actual size of a face in a video stream, not on the size of the whole frame.
Face record size in the watch list is less than 0.5 kilobytes. A person can have multiple face records stored.
The matching against a watch list is done in less than 0.5 seconds when the watch list has 20,000 face records.
Face posture
SentiVeillance Cluster assures accurate face detection and tracking when the face posture meets these constraints:
- head roll (tilt) – ±15 degrees from frontal position;
- head pitch (nod) – ±25 degrees from frontal position (several face views should be enrolled);
- head yaw (bobble) – ±45 degrees from frontal position (several face views should be enrolled).
Face enrollment
- Image quality during enrollment is important, as it influences the quality of the face template.
- Several images during enrollment are recommended for better facial template quality which results in improvement of recognition accuracy and reliability.
- Additional enrollments may be needed when facial hair style changes, especially when beard or mustache is grown or shaved off.
System requirements
System requirements for video management systems (VMS)
SentiVeillance Cluster software uses face biometrics to perform persons identification and tracking in video streams, which are received from VMS. The results of SentiVeillance Cluster operations are sent back to the VMS.
SentiVeillance Cluster is designed to be used with the following video management systems (VMS):
- Milestone XProtect VMS. The plug-in for this VMS can be customized, as its source code is provided.
- Standalone Generic VMS client (sample sources are provided) can also be used on Microsoft Windows platform. This client accepts video streams via RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) with some specific requirements:
- Only RTP over UDP is supported.
- H.264/MPEG-4 AVC or Motion JPEG should be used for encoding the video stream.
A VMS should be deployed on hardware which provides enough resources for generating specified resolution video streams and storing video for a specified time frame. Please refer to VMS manufacturers for specific system requrements.
System requirements for SentiVeillance Cluster software
- PC or server hardware with x86-64 (64-bit) compatible processor:
- 3 GHz or better processor with 6 cores is recommended.
- AVX2 support is required. Most modern processors support this instruction set, but please check if a particular processor model supports it.
- A graphical processing unit (GPU) is required.
- Several GPUs can be used on the same machine to process larger number of video streams;
- at least 8 GB of VRAM is recommended;
- Nvidia GPU with Compute Capability 6.0 or better.
- CUDA 11.x toolkit or newer is required;
- cuDNN 7.5 library is required.
- 32 GB of RAM is recommended.
- Network connection. At least 1 gigabit per second data transfer rate is recommended for real-time processing of multiple high resolution video streams.
- Linux specific:
- Debian 11.2 OS
- glibc 2.17 or newer
- GStreamer 1.10.x or newer with gst-vaapi plugins installed for hardware accelerated video decoding
- libgudev-1.0 219 or newer
- wxWidgets 3.0.0 or newer libs
