Project Timeline

Apr 2022 - Dec-2025

OVERVIEW

Created a single camera system in order to map human heat density, while also counting the number of people in a frame using AI.

HighlightS

Demonstrated how python can be used for detecting humans in a certain frame/area. Results were presented and published at the 2024 9th International Conference on Mechatronics Engineering (ICOM) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

SUPPORTING MATERIALS

Additional Details

Presents a solution by creating a human detection and counting software with an integrated heat map density feature that can accept image or video input and then output the number of humans detected with bounding boxes.  The data received and produced by the software will then be stored in an SQL database. PostgreSQL was used as the software for the SQL database of the human recognition software where data is being stored and retrieved by the human recognition software itself. The heat map allows for easy visualization of human density in an area from an image or video, allowing for easier foot traffic monitoring. On the other hand, the GUI framework, Electron, was used to create the GUI of the software due to its ability to quickly adapt and design to any existing computerized CCTV system without having problems with its compatibility, as well as it is easy to use and understand. The solution could be used in common commercial and public spaces, benefiting its users with insight and leading to a smoother and better-homogenized space. The software is expected to have fast detection when provided with a proper GPU. The software will also include data storage using a SQL database, efficient parameter adjustment using a GUI, and accurate heatmap generation. If implemented, the software will be able to help many businesses in detecting humans in their work vicinities and, if they choose to, create heat maps from the acquired human density data
