ONVIF scene description​

The ONVIF scene description uses an XML-based structure and data types to represent elements in a scene.

It includes structures for representing object-tracking data. Notable parts include:

  • tt:Object represents an object's state at a particular time.
  • tt:Frame represents the state of the scene in a video frame. It includes an array of tt:Object elements that represent all tracked objects in that frame.
