Bosch Person / Car / Bike / Truck Analytics Tested

Author: Ethan Ace, Published on Jun 05, 2015

Automatically identify what objects are persons vs cars vs bikes vs trucks. That is the new feature and claim from Bosch in their newest IVA analytics (6.10 version). 

We first tested Bosch IVA here. With this new feature, we wanted to see how accurately this worked.

This video shows the basic setup process we used before testing:

We tested these analytics on multiple cameras in a busy outdoor scene, to answer these questions: 

  • Are cars, trucks, people, and bikes reliably detected and classified?
  • What objects are missed most often?
  • How do busy scenes impact performance?
  • Are VMSes able to receive these events distinctly?
