Generate Heat Analysis Report

Generate Heat Analysis Report

You can generate a heat analysis report to track consumer movements and analyze the visit times and dwell time in a configured area.

  • Add a heat map network camera to the system and properly configure the camera with heat map rule for the required area. To add a heat map network camera, please refer to the User Manual of HikCentral Professional Web Client. To configure the heat map rule, please refer to the user manual of heat map network camera.

  • Add the camera to a static map. For details about how to add a camera to the static map, refer to User Manual of HikCentral Professional Web Client.

  1. Click Intelligent Analysis on the Home page and then select Heat Analysis on the navigation panel on the left to enter the Heat Analysis page.
  2. Select analysis type.
    Heat Analysis for One Camera

    A heat analysis report based on the data from the selected cameras will be generated. The data of different cameras will be displayed and you can compare the data of different cameras.

    Heat Analysis in One Region

    A heat analysis report based on the data from the selected heat analysis groups will be generated. The data of different groups will be displayed and you can compare the data from different groups.

    Note:

    You should have added heat analysis group(s). For details, see Add Heat Analysis Group.

  3. Select heat analysis camera(s) or heat analysis group(s) for statistics.
    1. Click .
      Note:

      Only heat analysis camera or heat analysis group will be displayed here.

    2. Check the heat analysis camera(s) or heat analysis group(s) for statistics.
  4. Select camera(s) for the report in the camera list.
    Note:

    Up to 20 heat analysis cameras can be selected for statistics at the same time.

  5. Set the report type to daily report, weekly report, monthly report, annual report, or customize the time interval for a report.
    Daily Report

    Daily report shows data on a daily basis. The system will calculate the number of people or people dwell time in each hour of one day.

    Weekly Report, Monthly Report, Annual Report

    As compared to daily report, weekly report, monthly report, and annual report can be less time-consuming, since they are not to be submitted every day. The system will calculate the number of people or people dwell time in each day of way week, in each day of one month, and in each month of one year.

    Custom Time Interval

    Users can customize the days in the report to analyze the number of people or people dwell time in each day or month of the custom time interval.

  6. Optional: Set the time or time period in the Time field for statistics.
    Note:

    For custom time interval report, you need to set the start time and end time to specify the time period.

  7. Set the analysis type.
    Dwell Time

    The minutes that the people stay at the same location during each time period for each camera.

    People Amount

    The number of people detected during each time period for each camera.

    Note:

    This analysis type is only supported by the second generation of heat analysis cameras.

    Average Dwell Time

    The average dwell time for the each person stay at the same location during each time period for each camera.

  8. Click Generate Report.
    The static maps of the selected cameras will appear.
    Figure 1. Static Map of selected Cameras
  9. Click the map to view the detailed heat data of the cameras on the map. You can view each camera's field of view, and the fields are color coded. The red color block (255, 0, 0) indicates the most welcome region (most persons detected or longest dwell time), and blue color block (0, 0, 255) indicates the less-popular region (least persons detected or shortest dwell time).
    Note:

    Move the cursor to the field of view to view the detected value, including people amount or dwell time.

  10. Optional: Click the camera icon on the page below to view heat analysis of single camera.
    Figure 2. Heat Map of Single Camera

    The image of the camera is color coded. The red color block (255, 0, 0) indicates the most welcome region (most persons detected or longest dwell time), and blue color block (0, 0, 255) indicates the less-popular region (least persons detected or shortest dwell time).

    You can drag the slider on the upper-right to adjust the range of the heat value. The heat data out of the range will not be displayed.

  11. Optional: Click to switch among heat map, histogram, line chart to view the details.
