What are people counting systems?
People counting is the use of an electronic device (traditionally called a people counter or footfall counter) to measure the number of people that pass through a certain passage or entrance.
Which sensor is used to count people?
Thermal Counters
They create images using infrared radiation the same way a typical camera forms an image using visible light. Thermal sensors are installed top-down at the entrances to detect human body temperatures and count them.
How does a people counter work?
People counters are electronic devices that count the number of individuals passing through a defined space. The technology used varies from simple solutions using light beams, to more complex dedicated sensors that employ stereo cameras or time of flight sensors.
What is people count analysis?
Analysis of Visitor Behavior
People counting technology can show where exactly your visitors spend time, which product is chosen more often if the marketing campaigns attract visitors. In retail industry, people counting products calculate the exact number of visitors and how many of those visitors turn into buyers.
What sensor is best suited to count people and explain why?
When it comes to door counters, thermal sensors detect the light generated by body heat radiating off people as they walk past the sensor. One of the best advantages of using thermal sensors is that they provide anonymous data regarding the people they track in addition to having low-cost & quick installation ability.
