3.2 Installing Hardware

Types and quality of video capture boards depend on used video cameras (see SecurOS Installation

Guide).

3.2.1 Installing video cameras

Module recognizes carriage numbers from an incoming video stream.

Note: Connecting video cameras are fully described in SecurOS Installation Guide.

The video cameras have to be installed directly next to the permanent way. The best camera position is
frontal view on carriage number. The optimal distance from the camera to the carriage is determined

www.isscctv.com

Transit Inspector Pro 13

Deploying Module

by camera configuration (minimum distance — 3 m, maximum distance — 30 m), see 4.2.3 Transit:

number recognizer on page 25 for more information. Cameras has to be mounted at a height of 2–4

meters.

On sensor applying (see 3.2.6 Sensors on page 15 for more information) camera view background
should not be one-coloured.

There are some guidelines for choosing and setting up video cameras. For list of recommended
cameras see 7 Appendix A: Recommended Cameras on page 59.

Warning! Wrong installation may cause carriage numbers recognition errors.

• Camera type. Use a standard analog video camera. It is recommended to use a monochrome
camera with high resolution and 1/2” or 1/3” interleave transfer sensor.

User Guide

• Camera objective type. It is helpful to use cameras with auto-zoom lenses. The upper limit of
the focal length must be more then 80 mm. These lenses allow you to get contrast images of
carriages from any distances. Set up the aperture to reach the result when a distance between
bay and freight car top takes up all frame on the screen width.

• Camera features. Automatic focus and levelling quaking image features has to be disable.

• Camera with auto-aperture (ELC). Auto-aperture may be used when there are no quick bright-

ness changes within the camera view. In other cases, this feature has to be turned off.

To setup the iris diaphragm:

1. Turn the objective to auto-aperture work

2. Almost shade the camera aperture

3. Make some snap-shots of carriages

4. Watch the created images from the video-archive

If these images are blurry, slightly open the aperture and repeat the procedure.

• Electronic shutter. Use cameras with high resolution and manual exposure time of 1/2000 or
1/5000 seconds.

• Sensitivity. It is recommended to use cameras with high sensitivity (for darkened conditions),
e. g. 0.1–0.001 lux.

• Camera angle of rotation. Mount a camera in such a way that the horizontal level of the
camera does not deviate from the horizon more than 10◦.

• Camera angle of inclination. The best camera position is that the carriages move transversely
to camera view. Some deviations are acceptable: horizontal— not more than 10◦and vertical —
not more than 40◦.

Warning! On system deploying picture frequency from recognition camera has to be not less
than 25 fps to see each carriage number completely at least on three contiguous frames at
common carriage velocities.

User Guide

3.2.2 Using multiple cameras

Besides recognition camera one can also connect other cameras, if your video capture board supports
it. This cameras will record video synchronously with corresponding recognition camera.

Figure 3: Using multiple cameras

Such configuration can be deployed on standalone as well as server-workstation configuration. Mon­itoring additional cameras may be realized on remote workstation without Module software installa­tion.

3.2.3 Thermo-box

Use thermo-boxes reasoning from climatic conditions of the region. Its size is determined by camera
and objective ones. It is recommended to use thermo-boxes with heating and blower functions.

3.2.4 Lightning guard

Use lightning guard equipment to protect connected active devices from external natural interference
due to strokes of lightning.

3.2.5 Illumination

It is enough natural lighting on solar day (but not less than 50 lux). However on night-time use
diffused illumination with intensity 300 lux.

Warning! There has to be no glare on receiving video and no exposure on obtained image.

On night-time one can use additional light sources, e. g. searchlights with either 500–1000 watt
incandescent lamp or 250–400 watt elements of diode-resistor logic. Also setting four 500 watt
searchlights on a track one can achieve similar intensity results.

Deploying Module

3.2.6 Sensors

For more reliable by carriages train partition use sensors, e. g. light sensors.

To connect sensors to SecurOS video boards use TVISS8IO additional one.

User Guide

Figure 4: Using sensors

Such configuration can be deployed on standalone as well as server-workstation configuration.

3.2.6.1 Setting sensors

Set sensors parallel of camera optic axis at a height of 2–4 meters. The distance between reciever and
transmitter has to be not less then 10 meters but more then 120 ones.

Warning! On reciever and transmitter installing note that a ray must cross only one track!

If there are several tracks and carriages are passing in both directions then one can use two sensors
each of which was set on a track. In this case it is necessary to mount ray-transmitter on an additional
intermediate bearing.

Note: Sensors have different number of rays (from 1 to 10) that defines its sensitivity and reciever­transmitter distance.

On connecting sensors to TVISS8IO board use ones with dry relay contact. Connection scheme see
in SecurOS Installation Guide).

Note: Use sensors supplied with optical setting and precision adjustment node.

Example: ABT-30/60/120 sensor is supplied with optical ocular that is helpful on setting visible area

(ray) between reciever and transmitter. However most sensors are set by devices according to maximum
current value or voltage one.

www.isscctv.com

Transit Inspector Pro 16

Deploying Module

Sensors have adjustable parameters, e. g. object speed on ray crossing, angles of inclination. This and
other parameters can be changed on beam control and are defined in working process.

User Guide

3.2.6.2 Multi-beam Sensors

As an additional precaution of on carriages devision multi-beam sensors are used.

There are carriages that have broken power chassis, e. g. grain and carriers, tank-trucks. In this case
a wrong triggering can be. To avoid such situations use multi-beam sensors. So there is “carriage is
present” state on one of six ray triggering. If there are no triggering then the two states is possible:
“carriage is absent” or “inter-carriages distance”. However the first state is defined by time.

Warning! For the case do not use IR sensor as it has delays on triggering and alarm signal
delivery.

Use fast-acting industrial IR or laser sensors of wide temperature interval, e. g. Connect 3 (series W
18-3 WS/WE 18-3) photovoltaic sensors.

3.2.6.3 Setting Sensors to Define Inter-Carriages Distance

Sensors set on contact system or on additional bearings at a height of 3 meters. The distance between
reciever and transmitter must be more than 10 meters, but less than 120 ones.

Warning! The sensor seat has to be submitted to railway government.

4.1 Working Principle

Module analyzes video stream received from SecurOS video servers, to detect and recognize the
carriage numbers.

Warning! Module must be started before a train passing on a camera view to prevent Mod­ule’ incorrect functions. Any additional Module configuration is not recommended during its
working.

Each number that is recognized from the image is stored in a database with additional information
(date, time, recognition camera ID, train ID, carriage current number, direction). The recognized
number is compared against another database of available numbers and depicted in carriages numbers
log as a new record with the corresponding state.

For partly recognized number as well as not in database its record is marked with the corresponding
color.

All information received from the video (image and recognized number) is displayed on the Module
interface (figure 11).

Below is the recommended scheme of operator interface (Monitor and Transit: operator GUI objects).

Figure 11: Interface objects scheme

Sensors are represented in system by the Sensor “Signal” objects (the information on adjustment of
the given object see SecurOS Administration Guide).

Administrating Module

Note: In case the sensor has zero target resistance at free passage of beams (absence of trains) and
infinite in the presence of an obstacle, it is necessary in the Sensor “Signal” object properties window to
specify operation type: on disconnection.

In case the sensor has infinite target resistance at free passage of beams (absence of trains) and zero
in the presence of an obstacle, it is necessary in the Sensor “Signal” object to specify operation type:

Question: How can I put previously recorded video in SecurOS interface?

To put previously recorded video in SecurOS interface:

1. Copy file of previously recorded video to the SecurOS folder (e. g. C:\SecurOS). Rename this
file as X. Y, where X — integer number from 0 till 31, Y — integer number from 1 till 16.

2. Create Video Capture Device object (see SecurOS Administration Guide) in SecurOS object tree
and set the following parameters:

• Type → select the Virtual value from the drop-down list box

• PCI Channel → select the X value (see item 1). For example, if the file name was 0. 01,

then one need to set the 0 value.

Warning! Channel number should not coincide with channels used in other Video Capture
Device objects on the same computer, otherwise the video will not be displayed on the video

monitor. In this case rename the file by changing its X value to make it differ from any number
of already used channels.

3. Create Camera object as a child one for the just created Video Capture Device object (see
item 2). Define a channel number: set the Y value (see item 1). For example, if the file name
was 0. 01, then one need to set the 1 value.

Question: What value must be set for the “Pre-recording phase duration” Camera object para­meter?

In Pre-recording phase duration one need to set an average time of train passing in camera view.
It is recommended to set a value not less than 10 seconds. Setting much more than 10 seconds may
cause system errors.

• Configuration/ocr data/ocr data item/path — ordering information folder (creating on

Module installation)

• Configuration/segmenter/type — data type. This data is used for train segmentation.
Possible values:

– ray emulation — use image analysis on train partition. The Configura-

tion/segmenter/ray emulation group defines an algorithm parameters. Edit TopLine
and BottomLine fields only as they define top and bottom lines for train partition

– ray from timing file — use information of each carriage passing. The Configura-

tion/segmenter/ray from timing file group defines an algorithm parameters. There
is a path to the information file in FileName field.

• Configuration/segmenter/MinTimeBetweenTrains — minimal timeout of trains passing
(in seconds)

• Configuration/Localizator — fields that are used for number localization algorithm con-
figuration:

– TopLine / BottomLine — top and bottom number localizer lines (%)
– NumberWidth / NumberHeight — approximate carriage numder width/height (%)
