IWR6843ISK: Main objective of out of box demo?

Part Number: IWR6843ISK

Hello everyone, 

I would like to know what is the main objective of the out-of-box demo? Can the CFG saved from with desired parameters be used for people counting demo? What the output in the visualizer indicates? Does it show the moving persons or both static and dynamic objects?

Thanks and regards,

  • Hello,

    The Out of Box Demo demonstrates the core processing chain that is utilized in other demos e.g. People Counting. In particular the OOB Demo gives the user the Detected Object TLV aka point cloud which gives relative position and radial velocity of each detected object every frame. People Counting, Area Scanner, Long Range People detection, etc. all implement the gtrack algorithm to track dynamic objects relative to the sensor. This algorithm is fed point cloud information from the same basic processing chain in OOB. Since the tracking algorithm needs to be configured in the CFG file, an OOB CFG would not be enough to drive it, but a CFG from the labs mentioned above would be the way to go. In particular Area Scanner is what I would recommend. Area Scanner will show dynamic points ( as well as associated tracks) as well as static objects that added to the scene after the sensor was set up.

    I would take note of the output data structure differences and similarities in OOB and Area Scanner to get more context.

    Best regards,
