Image Degradation and Camera displacement detection module

Description:

The Image Degradation Module monitors the visual quality of camera feeds and identifies issues such as blur, poor lighting (darkness), obstructions (fog, snow, dirt), or misalignment of the camera. Helps maintain reliability of video analytics by ensuring that the visual input meets necessary standards.

Functional Capabilities:

  • Detection of blur or out-of-focus imagery
  • Monitoring for low-light or overly bright conditions
  • Identification of visual obstructions (rain, snow, dust, fog)
  • Detection of camera misalignment or shift
  • Notification of image quality issues in real time

Configuration & Flexibility:

  • Users can define the thresholds for acceptable image quality (blur metrics, contrast, brightness)
  • Define zones of interest for image shift detection (e.g., camera should point at fixed scene)
  • Set timing / frequency for image quality checks

Notifications & Reporting:

  • Real-time alerts when image quality degrades beyond preset threshold
  • Option to view sample frames showing the degradation
  • Export image quality logs and reports in .xlsx or similar formats
  • Integration with video system monitoring to suppress analytics when image is degraded
