3.9.2 Area of Interest (AOI)
An Area of Interest (AOI) is a region within an image that you define by specifying
horizontal and vertical size dimensions and offset coordinates. The size dimensions specify
the width and height of the AOI in pixels. The offset coordinates define the boundaries of
the AOI.
3.9.2.1 Ruggedized Cameras
– Master AOI/Slave AOI
Ruggedized Tiger cameras support one configurable Master AOI and one Slave AOI. When
creating the Master
AOI, you can preserve the camera’s current frame rate or allow it to
change based on the Master AOI size.

2.
In the Master AOI section, enter horizontal and vertical sizes.

The Slave AOI is nested inside the Master AOI. You might use the Slave AOI for a region of
interest for automatic gain control (AGC)/automatic exposure control (AEC), auto white
balance (AWB), or LUT. You define the Slave AOI by setting horizontal and vertical size
dimensions and offset dimensions. When creating a Slave AOI, you must select one of the
