Certain situations will require the user to ignore humans and target vehicles, while others will require the user target humans and ignore small animals or birds. The iOmniscient system has a sophisticated filtering system that allows the operator to hone in on exactly what he is trying to detect.

If an object in the foreground is moved to the rear of the scene the system can tell that though it is smaller it is still an object of the same size as the original one. Unlike other products in the market, the measurement can be done automatically using the image collected from a single CCTV camera.

The system can differentiate between people, animals and vehicles, allowing for a diverse range of customer specific solutions. It can categorize types of objects (vehicles of various sizes; adults/children).

Counting only cars passing a gate while ignoring trucks is a good example of how object differentiation can be useful.
