People Counting System (Pcount)

People Counting System (Pcount)

The People Counting System uses AI video analytics and multi-sensor fusion to monitor crowd movement in real time. It accurately counts people, tracks flow direction, measures density, and issues instant alerts even in low light or crowded environments. With edge processing and cloud analytics, it provides heat maps, movement patterns, and historical reports to support space planning, entry control, and safety management. Deployed in malls, transit hubs, campuses, and public facilities, it enhances operational efficiency and is a key component of smart city crowd management.

AI Recognition Items

Smart Video Recognition

Deep learning models, which use advanced algorithms to learn from large datasets, detect individuals in real time and automatically distinguish adults, children, and groups of varying sizes.

Multi-Target Tracking

AI algorithms, or computer programs designed to simulate human intelligence, perform identity tracking and movement trajectory analysis, maintaining high accuracy even in crowded areas.

Crowd Density Analysis

AI algorithms generate real-time heatmaps that clearly highlight areas of high concentration and crowding trends.

Behaviour Pattern Recognition

Detects potential risk behaviours, such as when people stay in one area longer than usual (abnormal lingering), move against the general flow (reverse movement), or suddenly run (sudden running).

 

Key Features

People Counting System (Pcount)
People Counting System (Pcount)
  • High Accuracy

    Furthermore, it delivers a significantly lower error rate compared to traditional infrared or manual counting methods.

  • Wide Environmental Adaptability

    Moreover, it operates reliably in both indoor venues (such as shopping malls) and large-scale outdoor events.

  • Real-Time Feedback

    This system provides second-level data updates, enabling management teams to respond quickly to sudden changes.

  • Flexible Deployment

    Additionally, it can be integrated with existing cameras and surveillance systems, effectively reducing deployment costs.

  • Privacy-Friendly Design

    Importantly, it employs anonymized and non-facial recognition techniques to prevent personal data leakage and ensure compliance.

  • High Scalability

    The system supports multi-site, multi-point networking, forming a centralized management platform for unified control.

  • Data Visualization

    The system offers map-based displays, heat maps, and trend charts, allowing managers to easily interpret crowd dynamics.

  • Edge Computing Architecture

    Through its edge computing architecture, it performs real-time data processing on edge devices, minimizing latency, reducing network load, and enhancing privacy protection.

  • Cross-Sensor Data Fusion

    On top of that, it integrates video, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, infrared, and geomagnetic data to improve coverage and detection accuracy.

  • Predictive Analytics

    The system uses AI-driven models to forecast peak hours and crowd movement trends, enabling proactive staffing and resource planning.
