Processor Settings

The following tables list the Kraken Processor settings.

The Markup and Metadata settings are common across different processors, while other settings vary depending on the selected Processor Module.

Markup and Metadata
Processor SettingDefaultDescription/Values
Enable VMTI KLV GenerationEnabled

Check this checkbox to enable Video Moving Target Indicator (VMTI) KLV generation. 

When enabled, this tracks the MISB ST 0903 VMTI KLV data (carried in MISB ST0601 metadata packets) reported by the processor in use. Some common data points include:

  • Target Location (geo-coordinates)
  • Target Priority
  • Target Confidence Value
  • Target ID
  • Time
  • Checksums
  • Frame Height
  • Frame Width
  • Number of Reported Targets
  • POSIX Microseconds
  • Total number of Targets Detected in the Frame

The above list is only a sample of data points that may be available. 

Draw Object Detection BoxesEnabled

Check this checkbox to view object detection boxes on your stream. 

Draw Labels for Detected ObjectsEnabledCheck this checkbox to show detected object labels (e.g. car, boat, person). 
Object Detection Box ColorBlue

Select the object detection box color from the dropdown menu. Color options are: 

  • Amber
  • Blue
  • Green
  • Purple
  • Red
Border Size for Object Detection Boxes1

To modify the border size of the object detection boxes, type in a value here. 

Range is from -16 to 16 pixels 

Shield AI Tracker

Shield AI Tracker Settings

Default

Description/Values

Type of analytics algorithm to runLAND

The Shield AI Tracker allows you to specify an algorithm suited to certain environments. Environment options are: 

  • LAND
  • MARITIME
  • SAR (search and rescue)
Sensitivity of the Tracker analyticDependent on Analytic

Sensitivity values for the Shield AI Tracker Processor module are related to the chosen analytic.

For all analytics, a value of 0 will generate no detections.

For the LAND analytic (Default 5):
Tier1 - 0 to 7
Tier2 - 0 to 6
Tier3 - 0 to 7
Exploitation - 0 to 7
Law Enforcement - 0 to 6

For the Maritime Analytic (Default 10):
Tier1 - 0 to 11
Tier2 - 0 to 13
Tier3 - 0 to 15
Exploitation - 0 to 15
Law Enforcement - 0 to 13

For the Search and Rescue (SAR) Analytic (Default 10):
Tier1 - 0 to 11
Tier2 - 0 to 13
Tier3 - 0 to 15
Exploitation - 0 to 15
Law Enforcement - 0 to13

Rectangular area around the border of the image to ignore100

Input a number between 0 and 500 to adjust the amount of space that will be ignored around the detected object. 

Yolo based image processing
Yolo-based image processing SettingsDefaultDescription/Values
Minimum Confidence Threshold for detections.0.6

Input a number between 0.01 and 1 to set the minimum confidence threshold for detections. 

Higher number will result in fewer detections, but will improve accuracy by reducing false positives. 

Intersection over Union (IoU) threshold for non-maximum suppression.
0.45

Input a number between 0.01 and 1 to set the IoU threshold for non-maximum suppression.

The Intersection over Union value is determined by dividing the overlapping area between two detection boxes (the Area of Intersection), by the total area covered by those detection boxes (the Area of Union). As long as both boxes are seeking the same type of object, a high Area of Intersection relative to the Area of Union means that the boxes are likely to be detecting the same object.

The value input in this field determines the percentage of overlap between two bounding boxes that is deemed high enough to rule-out multiple detections. Higher numbers filter out more redundant boxes. 

Maximum number of detections per frame.30Input a number between 1 and 100 to set of maximum number of detections that can be made per frame.
Type of objects to detect.n/aType in the name of the object you would like the processor to detect. Values can be generic nouns such as 'car', 'person', or 'boat.'   TBD limits to this input??? Can objects be specified with additional adjectives, e.g. 'red car' ?  
Type of applicationobject-detector

Select the type of insight to be processed. Options are: 

  • object-detector (detects and identifies specified objects)
  • object-tracker (tracks the location of the detected objects)
  • counter (counts the number of detected objects)
  • distance (identifies the distance between two detected objects)
