# Recognize Objects

To recognize objects, configure an object analysis task by following these steps.

To recognize objects

1. Create a new configuration to send to HPE Media Server with the `process` action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.

2. In the `[Analysis]` section, add a new analysis task by setting the `AnalysisEngineN` parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:

       [Analysis]
       AnalysisEngine0=Object

3. Create a new configuration section to contain the task settings, and set the following parameters:

   `Type` | The analysis engine to use. Set this parameter to `object`.
   `Input` | (Optional) The image track to process.
   `Database` | (Optional) The database to use for recognizing objects. By default, HPE Media Server searches for objects from all object databases. Database names are case-sensitive.
   `ColorAnalysis` | (Optional) A Boolean value that specifies whether to check the color of detected objects in order to reduce false identification. Set this parameter if the objects are primarily distinguished by color; for example, some flags differ from each other by color only.
   `ObjectEnvironment` | (Optional) Some objects, such as logos, might be partially or completely transparent, meaning that their appearance changes depending on the background on which they are superimposed. In such cases, set this parameter to specify the type of background in target images. Note: For the `ObjectEnvironment` parameter to have an effect, the image of the object used for training the database must contain transparent pixels.
   `Occlusion` | (Optional) By default, HPE Media Server assumes that an object might be partially hidden in target images, for example by overlapping objects. If the object is never obscured in target images, set this parameter to `FALSE` to reduce false positives.
   `Region` | (Optional) Search for objects in a region of the image, instead of the entire image.

   For example:

       [Object]
       Type=Object
       Database=CompanyLogos

   For more details about the parameters that you can use to customize object recognition, refer to the HPE Media Server Reference.

4. Save and close the configuration file. HPE recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the `ConfigDirectory` parameter.
