Labels user guide
A typical retail store has multiple cameras and multiple point of sale terminals.
The data is more meaningful when aggregated for the whole store thus KAI UP
supports you to use label to aggregate the meaningful data.

Aggregation Using Labels
KAI UP supports aggregation of video analysis data from multiple cameras of a store. This can be
done using the Label Management module. Aggregated sales data can be viewed with the aggregat-
ed video analytics data, for better co-relation.
For example, consider a retail chain called “Alpha Retail”, which has 2 retail shops called “City
Hall” and “Downtown”. Each shop has 2 KAI Nodes. In the customer account there would be total
4 nodes, perhaps named “CH Floor 1”, “CH Floor 2”, “DT East” and “DT West”. “CH Floor 1” and
“CH Floor 2” can be labelled together to "store label" under the name “City Hall”; “DT East” and
“DT West” can be labelled together "store label" under the name “Downtown”. (Figure 1)

File Naming Convention
After the aggregation using label, we will have eg. City Hall label. The aggregated POS data for City
Happ retail shop should be in a file named “City Hall.cv”. KAI UP will automatically co-related the
data by comparing POS data file name with the label name.
Data Format
Data must be in Semi-colon Separated Values (SSV) format, which is like the commonly used CSV
format, but uses semi-colon as the field delimiter.
P2
It should have the following columns:
/ Date (yyyy-mm-dd)
/ Time (hh:mm - hh:mm)
/ Receipt Count (a numeric value or empty if no data, commas are allowed, leading/trailing spaces
are ignored)
/ Sales Amount (a numeric value or empty if no data, commas are allowed, dot is allowed for
decimal point, leading/trailing spaces are ignored)
Each row should be consolidated sales data of 1 hour, in multiples of 1 hour. The following
are valid:
/ 10:01 - 11:00
/ 16:01 - 18:00
/ 00:00 - 09:00
Example rows
/ 2014-06-11;10:01 - 11:00;31 ;25943.80
/ 2014-06-11;00:00 - 08:00;;
/ 2014-06-11;20:01 - 21:00;98 ;227,937.75
