The Toolbar

Images

The Images section provides a means to upload images and to step through the images for the purpose of quality control.

Create

The Create section provides the tools for placing new pixelated, blurred or masked zones on the image.

Edit

The Edit section provides the tools to edit or delete existing zones.

Details are provided below for each section.

Images

The Images section displays a navigation control to step through the images which have already been automatically processed for plates and faces detection by the VisionLidar 365 Blur Services.

Use the back and forward arrows to step through the images.

Click the expand button at the top right to expand the image section.

The expanded sections provides a means to upload new images as well as a selection box to search and select images by name.

Upload

Click on the Upload button to open the file selection dialog. Select one or more files to upload and click Open.

The selected files will be uploaded to your enterprise server’s file system and submitted for automated detection of license plates and people faces.

Once an image is uploaded, it will automatically be queued up by the VisionLidar 365 Blur Services on your server for detection of plates and faces.
The uploaded images will show in the Images section paginator once they are processed.
The uploaded images will show in the Images section’s selector whether they are processed or not. However the unprocessed images will be shown in parenthesis until they have been processed.

Selector

Use the image selector if you need to see the current image name or if you want to select an image by name. The selector acts as a search as you type.

Unlike with the paginator in the Images section, the selector will display images that have not yet been automatically processed, as well as images that have been automatically processed. Unprocessed images are displayed in parenthesis.

Create

The Create section provides the means to place new pixelated, blurred or masked zones on the image.

Select the type of shape to created, either circle, square, rectangle or polygon. This automatically deselects the edit tool if it was active.

At any time you can modify the current options.

	You have a choice of small, medium or large for the circle, square and rectangle shapes.
	You have a choice of pixelated, blurred or masked rendering. Default is blurred. For masked, you can pick the color.

To create the pixelated, blurred or masked zones on the image, simply click on the desired area. You may create multiple in a row by simply clicking at multiple locations on the image.

Edit

The Edit section provides the means for moving, editing or deleting existing pixelabled, blurred and masked zones, whether they were created by the automated detection process or created manually.

Click the edit button to start editing. This automatically deselects the tool in the Create section.

With the edit tool selected, editing is enabled on the image and the Edit section expands to show a trash can.

To edit a zone, click on it in the image. Use the blue handles to scale the zone up or down. Use the blue handle at the top to rotate the zone.

Click outside to stop editing, or click on another zone to carry on with editing that other zone.

While a zone is selected, click on the trash can to delete it.

Automated Processing

The VisionLidar Blur Module includes the VisionLidar Blur Services, running on your server, for automated detection of license plates and people faces, as well as for automated stamping of the results into a copy of the original image.

Automated Detection

Automated detection of plates and faces is performed once you upload an image, as described in the Images section above.

Automated Rendering of a Copy

The interactive editor always work on the original image, only displaying the pixelated, blurred and masked zone in real time, on top of the original image. This ensures that you can always go back to create new zones or edit existing ones.

In addition, the process of creating a rendered copy of the original image is fully automated.

The VisionLidar Blur Services constantly keep an up-to-date copy of the image that is rendered with the pixelated, blurred and masked zones.
VisionLidar 365 displays the rendered copy in the Web, AutoCAD Map, and ArcGIS clients
