Getting started

This getting started guide will show some different ways to visualize the output of the Fusion Tracker, both visually and textually. From there, you can start building an application that consumes the metadata in a variety of platforms using the how-to guides.

Metadata visualizer

Supported object classes can be visualized directly through the Axis camera web interface.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Log in to the device as an administrator.
  2. Go to Analytics > Metadata visualization in the camera interface.
  3. You will now be able to observe detected objects in this view through bounding boxes surrounding the objects. The right panel presents information about the object type and confidence level of the classification. You can also hover the mouse over a detected object to obtain additional attributes. Additionally it is possible to pause the playback and further investigate detected objects in the paused frame.
