Range (Johnson criteria)

CloseRange (Johnson criteria)

Range (Johnson criteria)
Examples showing a person and a vehicle at resolutions for detection, recognition and identification according to the Johnson criteria.

For detection, the Johnson criteria corresponds to a resolution of 2px/m for a person and 0.7px/m for a vehicle. Johnson's criteria assumes ideal conditions. To avoid performance and reliability problems always test the camera in the actual environment where it is going to be used.

CloseSpecify field of view

This option finds cameras that meet your specifications for scene height/width and camera distance. For cameras with varifocal or zoom lenses, the selection is made based on the focal length that provides the widest field of view.

Drag the Distance from camera slider to select the distance from the camera to the scene you wish to cover. Then drag the Scene height and/or Scene width sliders to set the size of the scene.

Note that for cameras with varifocal or zoom lenses, the selection is made based on the focal length that provides the widest field of view.
