VIS-CAM System 1.VIS-CAM System Installation Manual 1 Introduction 1.1 Document Overview This document describes the steps necessary to deploy an installation of the JAI Vehicle Imaging Subsystem, described as VIS from this point forward. This manual also contains information about maintenance, troubleshooting and RMA (Return Material Authorization) procedures.
VIS-CAM System Figure 1. VIS elements 1.3 System Components description 1.3.1 Traffic Light Sensor – TLS300 The JAI traffic light sensor is the driver of the VIS control network. It controls video signal parameters of each camera to ensure high contrast images of passing vehicles and their license plates, regardless of vehicle speed, weather or ambient light conditions.
VIS-CAM System Figure 2. Back shot VIS installation. The TLS-300 light sensor is an essential component that ensures the VIS cameras will be ready to capture high quality images of any vehicle and its license plate in virtually all weather and light conditions. It is very important to ensure that sensor positioning closely resembles real road conditions where the vehicle image is most likely to be captured.
VIS-CAM System 1.3.3 Illumination 1.3.3 (a) TNF-31 Flash The TNF-31 Flash generates light in wavelengths that are invisible to the human eye, but visible to the camera. This makes the flash suitable for illuminating both oncoming and receding views of traffic. Unlike near-infrared illuminators, the TNF-31 yields high contrast images of license plates even if they have red characters on white or yellow backgrounds.
VIS-CAM System 2 Preparing for installation 2.1 Installation Preparation To prepare for installation, consider the fundamental requirements for an effective deployment of the Vehicle Imaging Subsystem. There are two basic ways to position the camera: over the lane or beside the lane. Figure 3 and Figure 4 depict a typical over-lane installation. Figure 7 and Figure 8 on page 13 depict a typical beside-lane camera installation. 2.1.
VIS-CAM System Figure 4. Typical Over Lane Site Layout Plan. 2.1.1 (a) Camera tilt considerations The requirement to freeze the motion of high-speed vehicles limits how steep or shallow the tilt angle of the camera may be. For example, it is important to prevent the horizon from appearing in the image, and thereby allowing the sun to blind the camera. For over lane installations, a camera tilt between 20° to 30° is recommended–with 25° being considered the optimal angle.
VIS-CAM System 3. Select the appropriate installation chart for either USA or European style license plates. To obtain charts for license plates from other countries, please contact the JAI ITS division directly at (+1) 408 7470 300 – 102. 4. Plot the candidate camera-height / trigger-distance pairs on the chart and determine if the selected location lies within the wedge of recommended values. 5.

Generally the flash head must be separated from the camera by a radial distance of at least three and a half feet (1.2 meters). If the flash is positioned closer to the camera, reflections from the license plate will cause overexposure. If possible, position the flash head in level with the reference plane shown in Figure 9.

VIS-CAM System 32 Installing the Vehicle Imaging Subsystem
VIS-CAM System 4 System Set-Up This section provides a generic procedure for aligning one or more VIS CAM 300/400 cameras and their associated equipment at a site. If you received a specific installation manual from JAI for your project then follow those instructions instead of the procedure described here. The example installation process described in this section assumes that: • The cameras are being mounted on an overhead structure directly over the lane(s) being observed.
VIS-CAM System 4.1.2 Select a Suitable Vehicle, License Plate, and Plate Stand for the Setup To accurately set up the Vehicle Imaging Subsystem, the system installers need access to: 1. A vehicle that can be temporarily parked on the road 2. A plate that is: a. typical in size and color for the site b. clean, flat and in “like new” condition 3. An adjustable plate stand that allows the plate to be mounted in a vertical plane, at various heights above the road, and at variable roll angles.
VIS-CAM System camera settings should already be correct for the site installation, but it is a good idea to verify that this is true before proceeding. The Setup Computer is now properly configured to support lens adjustments and camera aiming. 4.1.6 Connect the Setup Computer to the Camera • Position the Setup Computer next to the camera being aligned. If the alignment is conducted in bright sunlight, shield the monitor screen with a hood to make it visible.
VIS-CAM System 4.1.7 • Drive and Park the Setup Vehicle Correctly Drive the setup vehicle slowly towards the trigger line through the center of the cameras field of view in the same manner (heading) as a typical driver would occupy this lane. Note: This is important, make sure that the vehicle is driven exactly the same way as the average driver would through the section of roadway being viewed by the camera. • Stop the vehicle approximately one foot (0.3 meter) past the trigger line.
VIS-CAM System 7. Adjust the lens zoom ring to obtain a plate width approximately equal to the distance between the short vertical sizing marks that appear above the tilt line. Readjust focus as necessary. See Figure 31 for more information. Figure 31. Initial Camera Alignment Display example. 8. Turn on the “Roll Bar” display on the Setup computer and then roll the camera mount until the horizontal bumper and trunk seams on the vehicle appear perfectly level with the horizontal line of the display.
VIS-CAM System Figure 32. Roll Bar Display example. Pan the camera mount until the plate stand is centered under the default position of the vertical line in the middle of the “Roll Bar” display. Securely tighten the pan bolt. Be careful not to change the pan of the camera while you tighten the bolt. Oppositely twisting two 9/16" closed-end wrenches is recommended (one for the bolt head and one for the nut) to help prevent the pan from moving while you tighten the bolt.
VIS-CAM System Figure 33. Readjustment of camera tilt and zoom display. The camera mount and lens are now ready for final adjustment. 4.1.10 Finalize Lens Adjustments and Camera Aiming 4.1.10 (a) Reposition the License Plate Stand at the Nominal Trigger Line Use your portable plate stand to position the license plate: 1. at the normally expected (nominal) trigger distance from the camera. 2. at the nominal plate height above the road. 3.
VIS-CAM System Figure 34. Focus Bar marker display. 2. Adjust the lens zoom ring until the plate width just barely fits in between the short vertical zoom markers on the display. 3. Have your assistant tape the lens front-focus chart to the stand so that it appears in-between the zoom markers. Make sure the black and white bars are vertical in the image. 4. Carefully adjust the lens focus ring until the focus bar waveform display is maximized in amplitude spread.
VIS-CAM System Figure 35. Focus Bar Waveform display. 5. Gently snug the zoom and focus lens holder thumbscrews against the lens without changing any of the lens settings. 6. Uncover the license plate by removing the lens focus chart. 7. Use the mouse to move the waveform cursors to the top and bottom of the waveform amplitude variation. The “Black Cursor” is located at the bottom of the waveform display, and the “White Cursor” is located on the top of the waveform display. 8.
VIS-CAM System Figure 36. Focus Bar Waveform Display with waveform cursors. 9. Use one hand to carefully hold the focus ring of the lens in place while you rotate the filter ring on the very front of the lens with your other hand. Turn the filter ring until the white mark on the ring is oriented straight up (or down). Secure the filter ring in place with a small dab of RTV glue. 10.
VIS-CAM System • Press the “Repetitive Trigger” button on the ENSetup toolbar. This will trigger the camera every second. Make sure that the “Ethernet” external hardware trigger is enabled in the “Camera Properties” section “2 – Trigger”, property “External Trigger Source”. • Adjust the flash head tilt and pan control until the entire back of the vehicle is well illuminated. If necessary, adjust the flash-head pan control to center the flash beam over the vehicle.
