Please take into account that the PERSON class may not be included in the output classification scheme when selecting Drone Camera Processing for your videos, depending on the camera height. Pedestrians can be tracked until 50 meters above the ground. From higher heights, it would be inaccurate to track pedestrians as the smallest traffic objects through the scene and thus are ignored.

GoodVision recognizes individual vehicle categories by the appearance of the traffic object on the scene, using the advanced Artificial Intelligence algorithms. Classification is not limited by the camera view, by size of the vehicles or if the vehicles are in motion or not. Our classification scheme is constantly enlarged with new vehicle classes. Categorization of other non-listed vehicle sub-classes follows the table below:
