Huper Laboratories based at Taipei, Taiwan showed at IFSEC the huperEyes 3D Counter.
That product combines a stereo camera — huperEyes — and a 3D people counting algorithm to capture three-dimensional images, and count people with much greater precision, the firm claims.
huperEyes 3D Counter further provides distance and height measurements that the makers claim distinguish people with different heights, and sense whether the objects are moving toward or away from the camera in the depth dimension. The product works in a similar way to human vision without laser or sensor required.
3D Counter provides information that can further be analysed for the use of business intelligence. For example, retailers are able to learn their customers’ shopping behaviour, improve customer satisfaction or evaluate store layout based on the information provided by the 3D Counter. For certain locations with height limits, like amusement parks, the 3D Counter can prevent people under heights from entering restricted areas, according to the makers. The firm adds that the product works with other surveillance systems for video recording.
