Ask HN: Can anyone recommend me an open source software to calculate footfall?
Hi I am organising an open event for public to celebrate a festival, in which more than 3000 are expected to come. I need to count how many people are coming in and outgoing from the event. I can have a camera attached at the entrance with a top view. Software/library can use ai or image processing, anything to keep track of how many have entered the event and how many have exited over a period of time.
The data can help me to be more efficient in my future events.
Thanks in advance
- Dutchie987 2y agoHire people to stand at the entrance with a hand-counter (one for entry, one for exit). Have them jot down the count every half hour. Cheap, easy, foolproof.
- utkarsh858 2y agoAccording that for certain reasons, and also volunteers are to much engaged
- solardev 2y agoCan't you use those simple people counters? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_counter https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_counter
- utkarsh858 2y agoThat should do, initially I was thinking that since I have a good quality camera and a system, there will be some open source imaging system which will help but this should also do. Problem is time is less and I am not sure that I will be able to procure a people counter. Here nobody uses it.
- cranberryturkey 2y agoi don't know of any sounds like you need a custom solution which won't be cheap.
- utkarsh858 2y agoCan you provide any leads on custom solutions?
- cranberryturkey 2y agoI can build it for you (i have a team of 3) but it all depends on your budget. WHere are you located? https://profullstack.com https://profullstack.com
