A people counter is a device that can be used to measure the number and direction of people traversing a certain passage or entrance.
USE CASESWe position an IP camera in such a way that we get an overview of the entrance from where people enter or exit the building. Since we access the IP camera over the network we get a stream of images every second. We run our algorithm on these frames to continuously detect people and monitor whether they cross a virtual line based on which we increment or decrement the count of people present in the building.
We have implemented this system in C++ as well as in python using openCV 3.1
