Detect, Observe, Recognize, Identify (DORI)
| DORI definition | Distance | |
| Detect | 25 px/m (8 px/ft) | 130 m (426 ft) |
| Observe | 63 px/m (19 px/ft) | 51.6 m (169.2 ft) |
| Recognize | 125 px/m (38 px/ft) | 26 m (85 ft) |
| Identify | 250 px/m (76 px/ft) | 13 m (43 ft) |
The DORI values are calculated using pixel densities for different use cases as recommended by the EN-62676-4 standard. The calculations use the center of the image as the reference point and consider lens distortion. The possibility to recognize or identify a person or object depends on factors such as object motion, video compression, lighting conditions, and camera focus. Use margins when planning. The pixel density varies across the image, and the calculated values can differ from the distances in the real world.
