Drawing Tracking Inclusion Zone

Zones are specified in the Zones tab of the Edit Settings window. To create a new zone:
Click the polygon icon.
Click the video player to begin drawing a zone. Each click of the mouse will create a new line segment. To complete the polygon, click the mouse over your start position.
Edit the polygon by clicking and dragging its end points. Sections of the polygon may not overlap. In this example, we have drawn the tracking zone over the sidewalk area in the video feed.
When the zone has been created, edit the Name of the zone and make sure that [√]Enabled is checked.
5. Repeat for any remaining zones you wish to draw in the field of view. The area outside of an inclusion zone will not be analyzed for objects.

Setting Maximum and Minimum Object Size
...
The minimum and maximum object size should be configured with the size range of targeted objects in mind. For example, the Sidewalk zone established in Drawing Tracking Inclusion Zone will capture both cars and pedestrians. You can restrict the tracking analysis to either cars or pedestrians by carefully configuring the minimum and maximum object size.
To set the minimum object size:
In the Edit Settings window, click the Min Size tab.
Click and drag the orange Orange box until it is the desired minimum size. The positioning of the box in the video player is irrelevant.
To set the maximum object size:
In the Edit Settings window, click the Max Size tab.
Click and drag the orange Orange box until it is the desired maximum size. The positioning of the box in the video player is irrelevant.
