IWR1642BOOST: People Counting

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST

Hi,

Is it possible to count the number of people. when the people are so close to each other? As shown in the demo video, do we really need to draw those blue and red circles. Also is it possible with this kit to count the number of people from top view. I have few people standing in a rectangle and from top center of the rectangle I need to calculate the people count.

    Hi Vijay,

    1. You can count people when they are close. However, as people get closer, it gets more difficult to differentiate them.  We cluster in 3 dimensions: X, Y, and Velocity.  If these are close enough, it will be very difficult for the tracker to find two separate clusters.  See our GTrack document for more.
    2. You could modify the GUI to remove the circles around tracked people if you wanted to.  This is purely for visualization purposes.
    3. With the IWR1642BOOST EVM, you will not be able to count people from top view.  This is because the Antenna on the EVM does not provide 3D information, so you would not be able to accurately track the location in 3D space. However, we do have a Zone Occupancy Detection demo which uses 3D information to determine if an area is occupied.  In theory, the tracker could be applied to this data set for overhead tracking.

    Regards,
