Standalone   Web Appli   AW-SF100 Auto Tracking Software
 This software offers the system that assists in tracking the target using our integrated camera.
 By template matching, motion detection and facial recognition, the tracking target is automatically detected from the video that the integrated camera transmits. And the camera is controlled according to the movement of the target.
Ver.4 or later (64bit): A stable tracking operation can be performed by the face authentication function that detects the face of the set person and the human body detection by deep learning.
  • Standalone version: can be used after being installed on your PC.
  • Web application version: can be installed on a PC to allow it to be used as a server PC. By accessing this server PC from a particular browser (Google Chrome), this application can be started up via the network.

NOTE

This system is intended to detect and follow one target as in the case of recording a teacher giving a lecture. It is not intended to track one target among multiple objects or not intended for multiple moving objects in a camera angle.

Please use this system in the environment where the adjustment work can be performed by the operator to deal with errors in detection.

  1. Due to the use of image processing, a wrong object may be detected as the target.
  2. Depending on the shooting environment (camera angle, distance, speed), the system may not be able to follow (may lose) the tracking target.
  3. The camera may not be able to track the target (the tracking target may be lost).
