By default, the entire FoV is a scene analytics zone. If you need to exclude parts of the scene prone to false alarms from detection (leaves, water, etc.), you should set privacy masks - zone with scene analytics and metadata generation disabled
To do so, follow the steps:
- Select the Object Tracker object and click the button.
In the FoV, set the nodes of the closed area, in order, inside of which you want no detection.
Note
When the area is being constructed, the nodes are connected by a two-color dotted line which outlines the area's borders.
Note
For your convenience, you can click the button and configure the mask on a still frame / snapshot. To undo, click this button again.
