How do you set which view from the camera should be used for e.g. object detection?

Hi, I am building an object detection app for Axis cameras using the native SDK, basing it on the object detection example of this repository. However, I can't find anywhere how I can specify which view area should be used. I assume it should be somewhere in the VDO library, but its API reference contains no useful information (e.g. all the information provided for the VdoStream class is "A video stream") and the older page which seems to have contained at least something (according to previews in Google search) doesn't exist anymore. Could you please tell me how I can set the view area using the native SDK, or point me to a source containing that information in case I missed it somewhere?

Hi @Equidem , thanks for your question!

The API documentation is unfortunately not greatly structured and the search functionality doesn't work. We hope to get a much better and searchable API documentation in the future.

In the left menu of the Video Capture API documentation (VDO), under File List you can get better information by clicking the header files, e.g. vdo-channel.h, which I think correspond to "the older page".

In vdo-stream.h there's information of view areas (use browser search, often Ctrl+f, and search view) under the channel field that sounds like it could be what you look for.
