“People Tracking” uses a sophisticated camera strategically mounted above entrances to count the number of people entering and leaving a space. The system uses a virtual line that separates the interior space from the outside world to record the number of people who cross this line.
The accuracy of the “People Tracking” system depends heavily on various spatial conditions, including the height of the room, the prevailing lighting conditions and the resolution of the camera used. The AI model is specially trained to function efficiently and reliably in a wide variety of environments without storing specific information about the identity of the people.
Efficiency and reliability meet data protection and anonymity
Within the project, on which researchers work together with dedicated scientific assistants, great importance is attached to data protection and anonymity. No data is stored about which specific people are in a room. This non-invasive monitoring system is ideal for applications where exact numbers of visitors need to be recorded, such as in museums, office buildings or at large events.
Use in more complex environments conceivable in the future
The TTZ plans to continuously develop the “People Tracking” system further in order to adapt it to a variety of spatial and environmental conditions. In future, the advancing technology could also be used reliably in more complex environments such as multi-storey buildings or in changing room conditions, opening up new application possibilities.
