Video surveillance systems for use in security applications - Part 6: Performance testing and grading of real-time intelligent video content analysis devices and systems for use in video surveillance applications (IEC 62676-6:2026)

This part of IEC 62676 specifies the functions, performance, interfaces, environmental adaptability, test methods, performance evaluation and grading rules of real-time intelligent video analysis in surveillance systems.
This document applies to live and forensic, real-time intelligent video analysis devices and systems in video surveillance.
The document is centred on testing performance and grading device functionality which enables:
• Core capability: Classification of objects, detection of specific "object activity", such as "stopping", "starting", "direction of movement", etc.
Examples are listed in Annex A.
• Complex capability: Detection of "scenarios" which are based on combinations of object activity, such as "loitering", "perimeter intrusion detection", "person down", "tailgating", "intrusion", "abandoned object detection", explosion, fire, flood, potential terrorist attack using a vehicle, owner of an abandoned bag, etc.
Examples of current scenarios are listed and described in Annex B.
• Degree of difficulty: The application of real operating environments to test the performance under known or required operating stress levels, examples of operating stress levels that are sterile or non-sterile, indoor or outdoor, target obscuration levels, extreme weather conditions, vibrating mechanical rugged environments causing image shake resulting in degradation of image quality requirement, see Table 1 and Annex C.
The purpose of this document is to provide end users, at different levels of the service process, from users and installers, integrators and maintenance companies, to certification providers, with methods to measure the performance of video analysis systems that must also comply with other parts of the standard.

Videoüberwachungsanlagen für Sicherungsanwendungen — Teil 6: Leistungsprüfung und Bewertung von intelligenten Videoanalysekomponenten für den Einsatz in Videoüberwachungsanlagen (IEC 62676-6:2026)

Systèmes de vidéosurveillance destinés à être utilisés dans les applications de sécurité – Partie 6: Essais de performance et classification des dispositifs et systèmes d'analyse intelligente en temps réel de contenus vidéo destinés aux applications de vidéosurveillance (IEC 62676-6:2026)

IEC 62676-6:2026 spécifie les fonctions, les performances, les interfaces, l'adaptabilité environnementale, les méthodes d'essai, l'évaluation des performances et les règles de classification de l'analyse intelligente en temps réel de contenus vidéo dans les systèmes de surveillance.
Le présent document s'applique aux dispositifs et aux systèmes d'analyse intelligente en temps réel et rétrospective pour investigation des contenus vidéo dans le domaine de la vidéosurveillance.
Le document se concentre sur la fonctionnalité d'essai des performances et de classification des dispositifs, qui assure les capacités suivantes:
• Capacité de base: classification des objets, détection d'une "activité objet" spécifique, par exemple "arrêt", "démarrage", "direction de déplacement", etc.
Des exemples sont donnés à l'Annexe A.
• Capacité complexe: détection de "scénarios" fondés sur des combinaisons d'activités objets, par exemple "errance", "détection d'intrusion dans le périmètre", "individu au sol", "passage en double", "intrusion", "détection d'objet abandonné", explosion, incendie, inondation, attaque terroriste potentielle avec un véhicule, propriétaire d'un sac abandonné, etc.
Des exemples de scénarios courants sont répertoriés et décrits à l'Annexe B.
• Degré de difficulté: application d'environnements de fonctionnement réels pour la réalisation d'essais de performance sous des niveaux de contraintes de fonctionnement connus ou exigés; exemples de niveaux de contraintes de fonctionnement: zones stériles ou non stériles, en intérieur ou en extérieur, niveaux d'obscurcissement cibles, conditions météorologiques extrêmes, environnements difficiles avec vibrations mécaniques provoquant un tremblement de l'image qui entraîne une dégradation de l'exigence de qualité d'image, voir Tableau 1 et Annexe C.
Le présent document vise à fournir aux utilisateurs finals, à différents niveaux du processus de service, des utilisateurs et des installateurs aux intégrateurs et aux sociétés de maintenance en passant par les fournisseurs de certification, des méthodes de mesure des performances des systèmes d'analyse vidéo qui doivent également être conformes aux autres parties de la norme.

Sistemi za videonadzor v varnostnih aplikacijah - 6. del: Preskušanje lastnosti in ocenjevanje naprav za inteligentno analizo video vsebine v realnem času in sistemov za uporabo v videonadzornih aplikacijah (IEC 62676-6:2026)

Ta del IEC 62676 določa funkcije, zmogljivost, vmesnike, prilagodljivost okolju, preskusne metode, ocenjevanje zmogljivosti in pravila razvrščanja za inteligentno video analizo v realnem času v nadzornih sistemih.
Ta dokument se uporablja za naprave in sisteme za inteligentno video analizo v realnem času, tako za živo kot forenzično uporabo v video nadzoru.
Dokument je osredotočen na testiranje zmogljivosti in razvrščanje funkcionalnosti naprav, kar omogoča:
- Osnovna zmogljivost: Razvrščanje objektov, zaznavanje specifičnih "aktivnosti objektov", kot so "ustavljanje", "začetek", "smer gibanja" itd.
Primeri so navedeni v Prilogi A.
- Kompleksna zmogljivost: Zaznavanje "scenarijev", ki temeljijo na kombinacijah aktivnosti objektov, kot so "zadrževanje", "zaznavanje vdora v obod", "oseba na tleh", "sledenje", "vdor", "zaznavanje zapuščenega objekta", eksplozija, požar, poplava, potencialni teroristični napad z vozilom, lastnik zapuščene torbe itd.
Primeri trenutnih scenarijev so navedeni in opisani v Prilogi B.
- Stopnja težavnosti: Uporaba realnih delovnih okolij za testiranje zmogljivosti pod znanimi ali zahtevanimi stopnjami delovnega stresa, primeri stopenj delovnega stresa, ki so sterilni ali nesterilni, notranji ali zunanji, stopnje zakrivanja ciljev, ekstremne vremenske razmere, vibrirajoča mehanska robustna okolja, ki povzročajo tresenje slike, kar vodi do poslabšanja zahteve po kakovosti slike, glej Tabelo 1 in Prilogo C.
Namen tega dokumenta je zagotoviti končnim uporabnikom, na različnih ravneh storitvenega procesa, od uporabnikov in monterjev, integratorjev in vzdrževalnih podjetij, do ponudnikov certifikacije, metode za merjenje zmogljivosti sistemov video analize, ki morajo biti skladni tudi z drugimi deli standarda.
