3 Configuration & Usage
Person tracking
The Xovis PC-Series sensor tracks persons. A few things have to be taken into account to
understand how the detection and tracking of persons works:
3.1.1 Person generation
The PC-Series sensor generates a person first when the person is completely within the
visible scene (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: Person generation
When a person track once was generated, the person stays tracked until it leaves the scene
again and its head is touching the visible scene border. Tracking/counting at border is
therefore not supported for persons only partially within the scene.
The following situation illustrates the person generation capability:
Figure 4: Demonstration of person generation with coordinate mode “head”
The situation shows that a person is first detected by the sensor when its head is completely
visible i.e. within the scene.
