Video Turnstile People Counter: See It Working
It's easy to set-up and validate your people counting system. The video output from the overhead camera can be overlaid with markers to show when a person is detected crossing the transit zone. These markers are outside the transit zone, so that the video output can be used for both validation (checking the percentage of missed or false counts over a period) and diagnostic purposes during installation (checking where to position the cameras).
Most of the video clips available on this page show real videos of the Video Turnstile system being tested during installation. The final clip shows footage from a Video Turnstile system in use in a gallery. To play a clip just click the still image. You may need to download a recent version of Windows Media Player (or similar). Media Player is available free from the Microsoft website.
Zone Markers
When you install the Video Turnstile system you can display detection zone markers on the video. In this video clip (and the still photo to the right), the zone markers are superimposed on the image. A detection marker flashes when someone is detected crossing from one zone marker to the other. Run the video clip.
Single Person Crossing the Transit Zone
In this clip the zone markers have been removed, but the detection marker still flashes to show the transit of a person through the zone. Run the video clip.
Two People Crossing Together
The Video Turnstile detectors can count several people crossing the zone at once. In this clip, two people cross the zone together. The double flash of the detection marker indicates two people have been counted. Run the video clip.
One Person Entering and One Leaving
Two people can cross through the zone in opposite directions. The clip shows this with a count incremented for both in and out directions. Run the video clip.
People Entering and Leaving a Gallery
Of course, when in everyday use you may have a steady stream of people entering and leaving. This clip is from an art gallery which is using Video Turnstile to count visitors. Run the video clip.
