Ask HN: Can anyone recommend me an open source software to calculate footfall?

2 pointsby utkarsh8589 months ago
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&#x2F;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.<p>Thanks in advance

Can&#x27;t you use those simple people counters? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;People_counter" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;People_counter</a>

Hire 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.

i don&#x27;t know of any sounds like you need a custom solution which won&#x27;t be cheap.
