# SPEC — bytetrack-counter ## §G — Goal RTSP camera → YOLO RKNN (NPU) → ByteTrack → line-crossing counter → SQLite + Flask dashboard. Count `ayam` (chicken) crossing counting line. Close batch on `talenan` (cutting-board) crossing. Daily cutoff @ HH:MM resets batch numbering. RK3588 hardware. **Reference implementation for C++ port in separate repo.** ## §C — Constraints - Python 3.10, `rknn-toolkit-lite2` (NPU), `opencv-python` (RTSP/FFmpeg) - `numpy<2` (rknn-toolkit-lite2 incompatible with numpy≥2) - `PYTHONNOUSERSITE=1` ! set or venv breaks - SQLite for persistence, JSON file for active-batch state - Flask on port 5000 (dashboard) + 5002 (recounting) + 5003 (upload recounting), systemd supervision - `counter_live.py` ⊥ run on RK3588 — Jetson TensorRT artifact, ! port target - `counter_live_rknn_bytetrack.py` — reference for C++ port, this is what systemd runs - Single deployment: `counter_live_rknn_bytetrack.py` + `counter_dashboard.py` + `recounting_dashboard.py` + `recounting_dashboard_upload.py` - `go2rtc` ! running for recounting MP4 streaming (port 1984) ## §I — Interfaces ### Systemd ``` unit: bytetrack-counter.service → `venv/bin/python counter_live_rknn_bytetrack.py` unit: bytetrack-counter-dashboard.service → `venv/bin/python counter_dashboard.py` unit: bytetrack-recounting-dashboard.service → `venv/bin/python recounting_dashboard.py` env: PYTHONNOUSERSITE=1 ! set in all units env: EnvironmentFile=/opt/bytetrack-counter/.env user: root (not jetson) path: /opt/bytetrack-counter (fixed in service file) ``` ### `.env` config (40+ vars, gitignored) ``` env: SOURCE ! set → RTSP URL | file path env: MODEL_PATH ! set → .rknn file env: IMGSZ ! set → model input size (e.g. 320) env: CORE_MASK → NPU core mask (1=core0, 2=core1, 3=dual, 7=all) env: NUM_CLASSES ! match model output count env: CONF → detection confidence threshold (default 0.3) env: DAILY_CUTOFF_TIME → HH:MM, default "20:00" env: CROSS_DIRECTION → rtl | ltr | both (default rtl) env: LINE_X | LINE_X_FRAC → counting line position env: CLASS_AYAM → class name for counted object (index 0) env: CLASS_TALENAN → class name for batch-close trigger (index 1) env: RESET_COUNTERS_AT_CUTOFF → defined in example, ! consumed by code ? zombie env: MOTION_DETECTION_ENABLED | MOTION_THRESHOLD → skip inference on still frames ? env: TRACK_HIGH_THRESH_{0,1} | TRACK_LOW_THRESH_{0,1} | TRACK_MATCH_THRESH_{0,1} → ByteTrack params per class env: BATCH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS → auto-close after inactivity (default 300) env: IGNORE_BATCH_LABEL_TIMEOUT_SECONDS → suppress talenan close after batch start (default 30) env: MIN_OBJECT_PER_BATCH → min count to persist batch (default 60) env: MIN_DURATION_PER_BATCH → min seconds to persist batch (default 60) env: LIVE_STREAM_ENABLED → write annotated JPEG snapshot each N frames env: EXPORT_CSV → write per-crossing CSV (default true) env: UPLOAD_DASHBOARD_URL → header link to upload recounting dashboard (default empty → hidden) ### Recounting dashboard config ``` env: RECOUNTING_DASHBOARD_PORT → port for recounting UI (default 5002) env: LIVE_API_URL → base URL of live counter API (default http://localhost:5000) env: RECOUNT_API_URL → base URL of recounting counter API (second node) env: GO2RTC_API_URL → go2rtc REST API (default http://localhost:1984) env: GO2RTC_STREAM_NAME → go2rtc stream name for recount preview (default "recount") ``` ### Upload recounting dashboard config ``` env: RECOUNTING_UPLOAD_PORT → port for upload UI (default 5003) env: UPLOAD_DIR → dir for uploaded MP4s (default /uploads) env: RECOUNT_CMD → replay command template with {path} placeholder (default "bytetrack-counter config.env --source {path}") env: RECOUNTING_UPLOAD_TEMPLATE → template (default recounting_upload_lamborghini.html) env: LIVE_DASHBOARD_URL → header link to live counter dashboard (default empty → hidden) ``` ``` ### SQLite ``` table: batches (date, batch#, camera, label, count, start, end, created_at) UNIQUE(counting_date, batch_number, camera_name, object_label) table: daily_summaries (date, camera, label, total_count, total_batches, updated_at) UNIQUE(counting_date, camera_name, object_label) ``` ### JSON state file ``` path: /tmp/bytetrack_current_batch.json (default) schema: {counting_date, batch_number, count, start_time, last_detection_time, counted_event_ids[]} ``` ### Flask API ``` api: GET / → dashboard HTML api: GET /api/current-batch → {count, batch_number, counting_date, start_time, last_detection_time} api: GET /api/previous-batch → {date, batch#, count, start/end, duration_minutes} api: GET /api/summary → {today, yesterday, all_time, average_per_day, best_day} api: GET /api/daily-data?days=N → [ {date, total_count, total_batches, avg_per_batch} ] api: GET /api/day-detail/ → {date, total_count, total_batches, total_duration, avg_duration, batches[]} api: GET /api/recent-batches?limit=N → [ {date, batch#, count, start/end, duration} ] api: GET /api/available-dates → [ {date, total_count, total_batches} ] api: GET /api/export-daily-csv?days=N → .xlsx download (named csv, emits xlsx) api: GET /api/export-day-csv/ → .xlsx download (named csv, emits xlsx) api: POST /api/reset → delete STATE_FILE, touch {SHM_DIR}/.reset;

batch_store._check_reset_signal() watches marker & clears in-memory state before next crossing V21: upload filename batch_XX_YYYYMMDD_HHmmSS.mp4 → batch# + date parsed; batch-result queries /api/day-detail/ on live API V22: preview auto-on when recount running — enablePreview() on START RECOUNT + applyState streaming branch;
