Exclusion not working when specifying exclusion zone co-ordinates "backwards"

[Neocramencer]

Hi,

i defined an exclusion zone which seems not to be working. Config:

{ "Logging": { "LogLevel": { "Default": "Information", "Microsoft": "Warning", "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information" } },

"Url": "xxx", "User": "xxx", "Password": "xxx",

"MinSizeX": 50, "MinSizeY": 50,

"BoxColor": "#FF0000", "FontColor": "#FF0000", "FontSize": 20,
"Delay": 5000, "DrawMode": "Matches", "StrokeWidth": 3, "TextOffsetY": -25, "TextOffsetX": 0, "DrawExclusions": true,

"AI": { "Type": "DeepStack", "Url": "http://192.168.0.200:83" },

"Notifiers": [ {

"Type": "Pushover", "ApiKey": "xxx", "UserKey": "xxx", "Sound": "siren" } ],

"Cameras": [ { "Name": "Garten", "Types": [ "Person", "Cat", "Dog" ], "Threshold": 42, "MinSizeX": 50, "MinSizeY": 50, "Exclusions": [ { "Start": { "X": 2363, "Y": 853 }, "End": { "X": 1888, "Y": 1404 } }, { "Start": { "X": 1731, "Y": 853 }, "End": { "X": 1886, "Y": 1152 } } ] } ] }

Second: is it possible to also use anything different then rectengular for exclusion zones? As you see in my Capture with rect. boxes it is quite complicated to exclude.

Thanks and best regards Marc

Hey, I think it's because you've defined your exclusion zones in a negative way. It's supposed to go from top left to bottom right, but you've done top right to bottom left.

I should probably be able to account for this, but in the mean time, can you please try this:

"Exclusions": [
  {
    "Start": { "X": 1888, "Y": 853 }, 
    "End": { "X": 2363, "Y": 1404 }
  },
  {
    "Start": { "X": 1731, "Y": 853 },
    "End": { "X": 1886, "Y": 1152 }
  }
]

I might be able to look into different shapes for exclusion zones using SKPath. I'll log an issue for it.

Hi,

just see the green boxes above, this should be the exclusion zones or am i wrong? I enabled drawing the exclusion zones and the person is right in the zone.

Best regards

Yes, those are the exclusion zones. But as I said, you've defined the zones backwards and I never accounted for anyone defining from top right to bottom left. Try what I suggested please.

[Neocramencer]

Will do so and respond ;)

[Neocramencer]

Still not working correctly, but maybe there is an issue with multiple exclusion zones.

Yeah I think you're right. You could just use the "Intersect" mode though instead of "Contains" which is the default:

"Start": { "X": 1888, "Y": 853 }, "End": { "X": 2363, "Y": 1404 }, "Mode": "Intersect"

It doesn't look like I've documented that option in the readme.

[Neocramencer]

under each exclusion zone or just the first?

[djdd87]

The setting is per exclusion zone.

Thanks for the feedback, i will try again ;)

[Neocramencer]

Tested your suggestion a few days now and it seems to work, so you can close the issue now :) when the more advanced exclusion zonr is possible i can switch to just one simple exclusion uonr. Thanks alot again.

I'll close it when I get chance to fix the negative definitions of exclusions. It should work either way around really.
