Midv-550 Work
MIDV-550 — Overview and Analysis
7. Deployment & Installation Guide (High‑Level)
-
Rack Mount & Power
- Install the 4U chassis in a standard 19‑inch rack.
- Connect both redundant 120 V/240 V AC power supplies.
-
Insert I/O Modules
- Slide the SDI carrier board into slot 1, HDMI into slot 2, etc.
- Secure with the locking lever; the system automatically detects and configures each module.
-
Network & Storage
- Connect 10 GbE uplink to the production network (or SRT‑compatible router).
- Insert NVMe SSDs for recording or model storage; the OS will RAID‑1 them by default.
-
Initial Software Setup
- Power on; the LCD shows “Booting”.
- Access the web UI via the default IP
192.168.100.10 (DHCP or static).
- Change admin password, configure NTP, and apply license keys (if any).
-
AI Model Deployment
- In the AI Manager tab, upload an ONNX model (
model.onnx).
- Define the processing pipeline (e.g.,
SDI‑1 → Pre‑proc → NPU → Encode → RTSP).
- Test with the live preview; adjust confidence thresholds.
-
Live Operation
- Use GStreamer or the SDK to route video:
gst-launch-1.0 midvsrc device=sdI0 ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=7680,height=4320,framerate=60/1 ! \
midvai model=/opt/models/yolo.onnx ! \
x264enc bitrate=50000 ! rtspclientsink location=rtsp://192.168.1.100:8554/stream
- Monitor latency and CPU/NPU load via the dashboard.
-
Maintenance
- Firmware upgrades are applied through the web UI (zero‑downtime).
- Hot‑swap any failed I/O carrier while the system continues processing other streams.

4.1. Video Processing Pipeline
| Stage | Function | Typical Latency |
|-------|----------|-----------------|
| Capture | Multi‑format (SDI/HDMI) digitization, de‑interlacing, colour‑space conversion (RGB↔YUV) | 0.5 ms |
| Pre‑Processing | Scaling, cropping, HDR tone‑mapping, noise reduction | 1–2 ms |
| AI Inference | On‑board NPU runs models (e.g., YOLO‑v5, OpenPose) on each frame | 2–4 ms |
| Encoding | H.264, H.265, AV1, JPEG‑XS (hardware accelerators) | 2 ms (8K@60) |
| Transport | SDI output, RTP/RTSP over 10 GbE, NDI, SRT | <0.5 ms |
| Total End‑to‑End | ≈ 6–9 ms (depending on resolution & AI load) | |
Typical tasks evaluated with MIDV-550
- Document detection and localization: Detecting that a document exists in an image and estimating its bounding polygon or corners. Performance is measured via intersection-over-union (IoU), corner localization error, or homography reprojection error.
- Document rectification (dewarping): Estimating a homography to transform the captured quadrilateral into a frontal, axis-aligned image suitable for OCR. Quality can be measured by reprojection error or downstream OCR accuracy.
- Segmentation and layout analysis: Identifying regions such as photo, MRZ (machine-readable zone), name, date of birth, and other fields. Metrics include pixel-wise IoU and region detection F1.
- OCR and field extraction: Recognizing text in the whole document or extracting structured fields (name, document number, expiry). Evaluated via character error rate (CER), word error rate (WER), and field-level accuracy.
- Forgery and tampering detection: Though MIDV-550 primarily targets recognition tasks, its realistic imaging conditions are also useful for research into detecting alterations, printed overlays, or subtle tampering.
