Camera and Video Format Requirementsยถ
To ensure maximum measurement accuracy and the correct operation of AI algorithms, submitted video recordings must meet the following requirements.
๐น Technical Recording Parametersยถ
| Parameter | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution | 640ร480 px | HD 1280ร720 (1 MPix) or higher |
| Frame rate | 15 FPS | Higher = smoother object tracking |
| Video length | 90 seconds | โ |
Supported Formatsยถ
- Recording format: AVI, MP4, DAV, FLV, WMV, TC, H265 (or other standard video formats)
- Encoding: Basic AVI, MPEG, MP4 encodings, and H264/H265 encodings, including variable frame rate (VFR)
We support a wide range of video formats and encodings and are constantly expanding our capabilities.
โ ๏ธ Important Notesยถ
AITracker Warning: For videos with variable frame rate, the
seek()function (jumping in video) in the AITracker GUI program does not work correctly!Note: We do not support interlaced videos, where even/odd scan lines are recorded alternately. Wikipedia
๐ Video File Namingยถ
To build the recording timeline, AITracker needs a recognizable start time in the filename. A full date and time are recommended, but time-only formats are also supported.
๐ How Does It Work?ยถ
The system does not read time from the video image, such as a clock overlaid in a corner. Its timeline comes from a recognized timestamp in the filename and the frame number. A filename may contain a full date and time or time only.
๐ What Should the File Name Contain?ยถ
- Preferably the full recording start date and time.
- A time-only format is supported. The recording retains its technical
1900-01-01timeline. A configured report start time can assign the correct date to timestamps presented in generated reports; it does not change the recording timeline or source data.
โ Supported File Name Formatsยถ
AITracker supports many industrial-camera and monitoring-system formats. A time-only example such as 12.00.00.avi produces 1900-01-01 12:00:00; a dated example such as VID_20230307_112025.mp4 produces 2023-03-07 11:20:25. AITracker device recordings use DDMMYY_HHMMSS.mp4, which also contains the full start timestamp.
| Example File Name |
|---|
12.05.00-12.10.00[R][0@0][0] |
12.00.00.avi or 12.00.00-13.00.00.avi |

If your format is not recognized, contact kontakt@aisp.pl.
Note: The system defines the time on the recording solely by the name and frame number! We do not have the option to read the clock image embedded within the video frame!
