Canon introduces its technology for mass counting of people in real time

Capacity control in public spaces, Transport, Beaches, Etc. has become a priority in the process of de-scaling, which has led to the development of secure technological solutions by manufacturers.

Called 'Mass Counting of People', this technology that has just been presented Canon facilitates the massive counting of people in real time in corporate environments, public spaces, transport and, with the arrival of summer, on beaches in order to improve the management and the de-escalation process.

It is a software solution based on video analysis technology, and powered by artificial intelligence, that is used in smart cities or smart cities, able to identify with a precision greater than 95% and in a matter of seconds the number of people who are in a specific area.

In addition, video analysis has a high accuracy to detect people in 360º, and has a rapid deployment to optimize both time and cost for initial configuration.

This technology allows both Public Administrations and private companies to carry out an analysis of the influx of people in enclosures and open spaces and, with a single surveillance camera, count the number of people who are in a space equivalent to a football field in a few seconds (Until 60.000 people in the same space in real time, based on manufacturer's data).

Another advantage is that it allows you to create automatic alerts and implement security measures, For example, if as many people have accessed as established by the capacity in a metro station or on a beach.

The implementation of Canon's Mass People Count software can be done by integrating it into an IP camera, provided that it meets a series of resolution requirements, height and position to optimize its operation.

As Fabien Leger points out, business developer at Canon Spain, "as a result of the health crisis we have experienced, Public Administrations are more aware than ever of how important it is to avoid agglomerations in cities. Being able to control the capacity on beaches or transport in real time is key to optimizing the management of cities, especially in the moment in which we find ourselves, where prevention will remain the priority".
