Zone Parameter Explanations

Zone Parameter Explanations

• Note: This area is complex and needs alot of work. Please help in any way that you can!

Name

Each Zone can be named for reference purposes. Choose a name that helps you identify your zones.

Type

• Active -

• Inclusive -

• Exclusive -

• Preclusive -

• Inactive -

Units

• Pixels - Selecting this option will allow many of the following values to be entered (or viewed) in units of pixels.

• Percentage - Selecting this option will allow may of the following values to be entered (orviewed) as a percentage.

Minimum X - Minimum Y - Maximum X - Maximum Y

Use these parameters to define the X,Y coordinates of the corners of the zone that is to be defined.

Alarm Colour

These parameters can be used to indvidually colorize the zone overlay pattern. By default, red is the active zone and green is the ??? zone.

Alarm Check Method

• Alarmed Pixels -

Choosing this Check Method will grey out many of the available parameters. This can simplify the tuning process, and could possibly be a better starting point for learning to adjust the many advanced parameters that are enabled with the other options.

• Filtered Pixels -

Choosing this Check Method opens up the Filtered parameters for adjustment in addition to the Alarmed Pixels above. This should give more accuracy, once you know how to adjust the various parameters and assist with eliminating false alarms and triggering on desired conditions.

• Blob Pixels -

Choosing this Check Methos opens up all of the available parameters. Enabling Blobs provides one more analysis for determination of what is a valid alarm and what is not.

Filter Width and Filter Height (pixels)

This parameter is always specified in Pixels, even when Percentages are the selected units.

This parameter defines a group of pixels and should always be an odd number.

3 x 3 is the default value, and 5 x 5 is also suggested as another valid option. It is suggested that these numbers be small in number.

Maximum Blobs

I believe that the usefulness of this parameter is negligible. Normally set to 0 (zero), it is probably best left at that value.
