Image comparison identifies which parts of an image have changed, when compared to an original image that is stored in the HPE Media Server training database.
Before using image comparison, you must train HPE Media Server by adding training images to the training database. For instructions that describe how to train HPE Media Server, refer to the HPE Media Server Administration Guide.
This section describes the parameters that you can use to configure image comparison.
Configuration Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Database | The image comparison database to use to detect changes to an image. |
Identifier | A comma-separated list of identifiers that specifies the reference image(s) to compare the image to. |
Input | The image track to process. |
Region | A region of the image to restrict analysis to. |
RegionUnit | The units that the Region parameter uses to specify the size and position of a region. |
SampleInterval | The interval at which frames are selected to be analyzed, in milliseconds. |
SyncDatabase | Specifies whether to synchronize with the training database before beginning the analysis task. |
Type | The analysis engine to use. Set this parameter to ImageComparison . |
Output track | Type | Description | Output1This column indicates whether the information contained in the track is included by default in the output created by an output task (when you don't set the Input parameter for the output task). |
