Package content

The Apps that have changed from the last App package 2021-03-17  are specially marked. For more details on these changes, see the following sections.

Improved and additional Certified Apps

Note

All A.I. Tech apps so far had the system-internal version number 3.0.5. Due to a spelling error, however, these apps were displayed with a version 3.5 instead of 3.0.5. This has now been corrected for all updated apps, i.e. for all but AIFirePlus, and the version number has been increased to 3.0.6.

This release has corrected the following issues when using A.I.Tech apps.

Improved A.I.Tech apps

Display and configuration in the dashboard

When configuring the A.I. Tech Apps in the dashboard, only half of the camera live image was displayed.

AISpill App

After activating the AISpill App in the Setup > Certified App Control > Certified App Settings dialog, the AISpill link to start the configuration sometimes did not exist in the dashboard. In addition, using the App could freeze the camera live image..

FF Group LPR Apps

FFLPR V1.3.3 (updated and extended)

In addition to internal improvements, this version of the App contains the following enhancements to its settings in the Setup > Certified App Control > Certified App Settings > FFLPR Settings dialog:

FFLPR MMC V1.3.3 (*new*)

With this new app, in addition to the license plate, the make, model, color and class of vehicles can also be recognized. It offers the following functions:

As with the other Apps, the connection to the event logic and alarm functions of the camera is done using messages from the MxMessage System. In addition, the detection results can be viewed and evaluated using Smart Data Sources in the MxManagementCenter (requires MxMC version higher than 2.5.2).

MOBOTIX Analytics

Analytics with object recognition

This extension of the MOBOTIX Analytics App can also be activated after installing the MX_preinstalled_apps_2021-05-28.app package.  All you have to do is, change the Camera Mode option in the Admin > Hardware Configuration > Camera Mode dialog from Streaming to AI and then restart the camera. Then the option Use AI Component is available to activate Object Recognition based on AI/deep learning techniques within the settings of MOBOTIX Analytics. In addition, the App Object Recognition Settings is also available for more precise configuration of AI-based object recognition.

Note

As before, when operating the camera in AI mode, the camera is limited to the use of one image sensor (on port M1) and the WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) function is then not available.

Analytics Object Recognition and Display Enhancements

When displaying and tracking detected objects (e.g. people, vehicles,... ), it could happen that the display has changed to other, sometimes also to non-moving, objects. This behavior has been significantly improved.

Visage Technologies Facial Recognition V1.2.1 (updated)

This release includes internal improvements to the app's detection and runtime behavior.

Vaxtor Apps - LPR V1.3.1, ADR V1.3.1 , ALPR MMC V1.3.1, Vaxtor Containers V1.3.1

All existing Vaxtor Apps have been revised and further improved.

This is a new App for the identification of freight and passenger coaches using the UIC wagon number for stationary or slowly (< 10 km/h) moving wagons. The App can identify the following wagon characteristics::

As with the other Apps, the connection to the event logic and alarm functions of the camera is done using messages from the MxMessage System. In addition, the detection results can be viewed and evaluated using Smart Data Sources in the MxManagementCenter (requires MxMC version higher than 2.5.2).
