Zone transition trigger

Post by Cougar281 »

When setting up a zone transition trigger, say 'A-B' so any movement from A to B or B to A will trigger, do the zone masks need to border each other or overlap? I haven't really been able to figure out what consistently makes this work.

This is described in the BI help file section 'Zones and hot spot' starting on page 66.

On page 67, halfway down, describes what your asking...
Instead of worrying about zones overlapping or
abutting, it is much easier to just setup one zone to be used as an overall “mask” and then
draw additional zones to be used with object detection and tracking. For example, if zone A
is left as representing the entire image, you may then draw smaller zones B and C anywhere
on the image, and then apply an object tracking rule B>C without consideration of how
those zones are aligned or spaced.
