Doors opening, for example, may cause changes to the light. If so consider reducing the Freeze Time and increasing the Threshold Level.
For People Entering at One Point then Widely Dispersing
On an escalator, for example, people may step off at a narrow point then disperse in all directions. Turn on the side exit lines and the splitting options — Diagonal Splitting and BlobMidSplit.
For Cameras Mounted on Low Ceilings
In this case people look very large in the picture. They may seem to break up and so you should turn off Diagonal Splitting (set to 0). Also turn off Double Probability and maybe BlobMidSplit.
