Object Appearance Search

Searching for a person or vehicle of interest is a crucial part of post-event investigations. YourSix’s Object Appearance Search enables users to search device footage for objects like vehicles and humans, including specific attributes such as a person wearing a red shirt. This capability is available to users at no additional cost! Object Appearance Search is located under “Forensics” along the top menu. To support this feature, devices must meet the following requirements.

Requirements

The below requirements must be met in order for a device to support Object Appearance Search

• • Device SoC: ARTPEC8 and CV25 (What chip does my device have?)
  • Device Firmware: AXIS OS 11.11 or newer
  • Device Storage: SD Card in device (Note: feature uses up to 5% of the SD card)

Excluded Devices: Multisensor, Panoramic, and Fisheye devices do not support Object Appearance Search at this time. 

Searchability

The below outlines the searching criteria that is available. Users can search the below criteria over a set of time across a number of devices at a site.

• • Class: Human or vehicle
  • Vehicle Class: Car, truck, bus, bike
  • Color: Vehicle color and human upper and lower body clothing color

Score

Scoring is the confidence level of the results. The higher the score setting, the stricter the system will be on Class and Color accuracy.

Results

Search results will be displayed as thumbnails on the screen, each featuring a timestamp and relevant attributes such as score and color. Clicking on a thumbnail will open a larger pop-up window that shows an enlarged image, along with options to view the result in the matrix (video of the result) or to search for similar results. To review footage of the event, a recording rule must be in place. Object Appearance Search is not a substitute for recording rules.
