Generate Pathway Analysis Report

Generate Pathway Analysis Report

Pathway analysis is mainly used to analyze the people counting on the pathways in the shopping malls. With the help of fisheye cameras, the system can collect the consumers data (for example, where the customers walk mostly) and translate that data onto a dashboard for mall managers. This helps managers analyze which areas/shops of the mall best catch a shopper's attention and which are overlooked. After setting the fisheye camera's pathways and their directions, the system calculates the people dwell time at each pathway and number of people walking by, thus helps them make decisions.

  • Properly add the camera to a static map and set its pathways on the map via the Web Client first. For details about adding camera to map and set pathways, refer to the User Manual of HikCentral Professional Web Client.

  • You should have added pathway analysis groups. For details, see Add Pathway Analysis Group.

Note:

This function is only supported by the second generation of fisheye cameras.

  1. Click Intelligent Analysis on the Home page and then select Pathway Analysis on the navigation panel on the left to enter the Pathway Analysis page.
  2. Select path analysis group(s) from the Resource Group list for statistics.
  3. Select the report type as 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Click Generate Report.
    The static map with the cameras and pathways color coded on the map will be displayed. The red color block (255, 0, 0) indicates the most welcome pathway (most persons detected or longest dwell time), and blue color block (0, 0, 255) indicates the less-popular pathway (least persons detected or shortest dwell time).

  6. Move the cursor to the camera hot spot to view the line chart or heat map of the people amount and people dwell time in the pathways during this time period.
