To highlight the growing Internet of Things, Oracle, Eurotech, Hitachi Communication Technologies America (Hitachi CTA) and Hitachi Consulting are showcasing a “People Counter” at Oracle OpenWorld which starts today in San Francisco and is expecting 60,000 attendees.
Stereoscopic cameras capture images of the area below using the Eurotech DynaPCN 10-20. The Passenger Counter algorithm analyzes the height, shape and direction of any objects that are passing the field of view; if it is determined that the object is a person entering or leaving, the incoming and outgoing counters are incremented accordingly, along with time information. The integrated high luminosity infrared LED system the counter an operate in any type of lighting condition.
Attendees will be anonymously counted at numerous locations throughout the conferences and trend data and analytics of those traffic patterns will be presented during various keynotes.
Beyond the conference, the applications are varied -improving public transit efficiencies, services and fare collection; implementing better safety and evacuation strategies in public places; delivering proximity marketing in the retail sector and reducing wait times.
