iCount - counting parameters
Only movements within the blue capture range are
relevant for counting. All movements outside the blue
range are ignored.
The field marked in yellow is the active capture range of
the module. Only movements identified within this region
are analysed and counted.
The green frame marks the borders of the virtual entry
threshold.
The red frame marks the borders of the virtual exit threshold.
With a freely available Java plug-in, the color-coded areas
can be configured quickly and easily.
iCount - function description
iCount modules are mounted centrally above the
doorway at a height of 2 to 3m and 30-60cm from the
door threshold. Therefor, each module can capture
passenger movements across a passageway -0.80 to
2.80m wide.
A stereoscopic camera system with two cameras 8cm
appart follows movements across this range and
automatically analyses them.
If a passenger passes through the entry threshold first
and then the exit threshold, this is counted as a passenger
exit.
When a passenger crosses the exit threshold first followed
by the entry threshold, a passenger entry event
is counted. The image analysis software detects opposing
and parallel movements of passengers.
To optimise accuracy, passengers are only counted once
until the vehicle doors have opened. Movements that
occur while the vehicle is in motion are ignored. Once the
doors close, the counting process stops and the results
are transferred.
