SMD and IVS ignoring tracked machines

I just noticed that my T5442T-ZE that is configured to use IVS and SMD with object filtering is completely ignoring tracked construction machines, such as excavator and front loader.
It detects humans and wheeled vehicles just fine.
I think that could be an interesting way to deceive AI algorithms :)

Somehow I can't see the common burglar stealing a CAT D6 to avoid my cameras to get into the house though :)
 
I haven't tested with tracked vehicles but i have a PTZ with the Smart Plan "Video Metadata", it often put tractors in the category "Non motor Vehicle".

SMD with/without IVS still recognise them as Vehicles.

It all probably comes down to what the AI is "trained" to recognise. Probably not to much tractor's or D6'es on the roads of Binjiang or Shenzhen

In general, you should use IVS if you want to filter for human and vehicles.

Only use MD or SMD if you want to filter other items.
 
Yes, you can fool AI with a t-shirt or other low-tech methods.

Based on the camera captures users post, most perps are not too concerned about cameras.
