System Requirements

LaneLogic processes video locally on your machine. For the best experience, ensure your hardware meets the following specifications.

Hardware Specifications

Minimum

Suitable for processing shorter videos at standard definition.

  • CPU: Intel Core i5 (6th Gen) or AMD Ryzen 5
  • RAM: 8 GB
  • Storage: 500 MB available space
  • GPU: Integrated Graphics (Intel UHD 620+)

Recommended

Best Performance

Optimized for high-resolution footage and fast processing times.

  • CPU: Intel Core i7 (8th Gen), AMD Ryzen 7, or Apple M-Series
  • RAM: 16 GB or higher
  • Storage: 1 GB SSD space (NVMe preferred)
  • GPU: Dedicated NVIDIA GTX 1050 / AMD Radeon RX 560 or better

Operating Systems

Windows

  • Windows 10 (64-bit) version 2004 or later
  • Windows 11 (64-bit)
  • .NET Desktop Runtime 6.0 (Included in installer)

macOS

  • macOS 12 (Monterey) or later
  • Native support for Intel and Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3)

Camera Setup

Good Capture Conditions

  • Safe roadside mounting location with a clear view of the full study area.
  • Vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists close enough to the camera to appear large and clear.
  • Vehicles visible from approach through exit, especially for turning movements.
  • Stable camera, level horizon, good focus, and verified live view before recording.
  • Lighting that keeps road users visible without heavy glare, deep shadows, or washed-out areas.

Footage That Can Hurt Accuracy

  • Blocked lanes, crosswalks, or stop bars caused by signs, trees, parked vehicles, or nearby poles.
  • Large vehicles repeatedly hiding smaller vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists.
  • Camera views that are too low, too far away, heavily tilted, shaky, or mostly sky/sidewalk.
  • Short clips where vehicles enter or leave the frame before their movement is clear.
  • Headlight glare, rain, snow, lens dirt, fog, low sun, or shadows that hide road-user outlines.

Video Files

Best Fit

  • MP4, MOV, or AVI files that open successfully in LaneLogic.
  • H.264 video in an MP4 container is the safest export choice.
  • Constant frame rate footage at 1080p and about 30fps gives the most predictable performance.

May Need Conversion

  • HEVC/H.265, ProRes, high-bit-depth, or unusual camera codecs.
  • Variable frame rate clips, missing duration metadata, or damaged files.
  • Very high resolution or high frame rate video, such as 4K at 60fps, which can process much more slowly.

Not Supported

  • Live camera streams, URLs, image sequences, and audio-only files.
  • Encrypted or DRM-protected video.
  • Files where LaneLogic cannot read the first video frame.

How LaneLogic Decides

LaneLogic uses OpenCV video decoding internally. A file is usable when the decoder can open the container, decode the video stream, read frame dimensions, read the frame rate, and return frames consistently during analysis.

Practical Recommendation

For the fewest surprises, export or transcode study footage to MP4 with H.264 video, a constant frame rate, square pixels, and no rotation-only metadata.
