2016HackadayPrize camera automatic passenger counter counter

This project is submitted for

  • The 2016 Hackaday Prize
  • Get Started: Design Your Concept

This project was created on 04/15/2016 and last updated 6 years ago.

Description

In short, this device will automate the traditional passenger counting system.

Image processing will be used via a camera to detect people and count the number of passengers, i.e, on trains/buses.
Later, face detection and temperature reading with infrared would be added as new features.

This can be used for:
- Monitoring the density of passengers inside public transportation
- Real-time counting
- Collecting information regarding when people gets in or out during their journey

The future visions:
- Face emotion identification to early detect if there's some random "bad guys"
- CCTV's infrared to detect human body's temperatures and give alert if there is an emergency situation
- To improve the tracking feature, combined with GPS, the device will also collect information regarding where people gets in or out

YOUR LIKE MEANS A LOT TO US! It will help us to build our first prototype! Thanks!

  • Face Detection and Tracking Using the KLT Algorithm

    Shanti • 04/17/2016 at 12:40 • 0 comments

    We're currently learning this: http://www.mathworks.com/help/vision/examples/face-detection-and-tracking-using-the-klt-algorithm.html

    In short, we're trying to detect face and its features, even if the person shook his/her head.

    I also happened to know another algorithm called Viola-Jones, but as long as I know, it can only detect if the face is straight ahead to the camera and won't work when the person shook their head.

this is what i need. can you please give me a presentation.

my company at the public transportation is very concern about passenger. if the passenger pay to the bus crew and the bus crew doesn't deposit with the real number of passenger to the cashier it will be loss for company. and that is the real problem until now.

How cool are you about sharing the data-set? I'm currently working on a machine learning approach to counting cars in parking lots. I'd like to see how well my algorithm can generalize to people counting..  

  Are you sure? yes | no

facial tracking is a good solution

and we are happy to share our code with everyone

Nice, but... where are the details? :/

Yea! Would be better if you put details so we can understand more about it....

  Are you sure? yes | no

Shanti wrote 04/19/2016 at 13:54 • point

Hi! Yes, we're still working on it, we'll put more details!

Thanks for your attention! :D

bad idea. I'd better

Could you identify a face?

  Are you sure? yes | no

absolutely yes

  Are you sure? yes | no

teresarieger2 wrote 04/19/2016 at 01:26 • point

he means a 'face identification' not only 'just face'. Could you ?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Shanti wrote 04/19/2016 at 13:53 • point

Hi there!

We're still not sure, since identifying several faces from distance (i.e from CCTV inside a bus full of people) will not be easy. But we're working towards it!

Thanks for your question.

  Are you sure? yes | no

What about the privacy implications ? Rules vary with cultures, states and countries.

  Are you sure? yes | no

mirabelarichard wrote 04/19/2016 at 01:23 • point

it depends of place/location. In public place such as airports will be very usefull to detect  criminal, I think.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Shanti wrote 04/19/2016 at 13:51 • point

Hi, it's exactly what we were thinking, that it could be very useful in airports!

  Are you sure? yes | no

Shanti wrote 04/19/2016 at 13:50 • point

Hi! I'm still not sure what implications you are referring to, but our idea is just to count the number of passengers (without identifying).

But we also have another "future vision" which is to put these cameras on airport to detect (maybe) some wanted criminals.

Thanks for your comment!
