MEGACOUNT 3D STEREO PEOPLE COUNTER TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION 3D Stereo people counter is made to accurately count the customers of shopping centers and retail stores with dense traffic and in locations with poor lighting. The counting is done by detecting the heads of the people walking through, while discounting shadows and specks of light. The counter is a 135m х 65m х 25m (5.3im х 2.5in х 0.9in) one-unit device with an Ethernet PoE port on its side. There is also a 1/4 inch screw hole on the back cover. MEGACOUNT| 3D People Countin

HOW IT WORKS Two graphic sensors send the data to the counter’s processor that creates a 3D model of the objects’ movement, which allows detecting the position and the dimensions of a customer with high accuracy. Two lenses project the images onto CMOS graphic sensors that digitalize the primary image and send it to the DSP processor. The processor compares both received images and searches for matching parts. Based on the gathered data on the matching parts, it calculates and creates a mathematical 3D model of the location. Then, using built-in software, the processor detects the heads of...

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Two black-and-white megapixel CMOS sensors Accuracy almost 100% Installation height 2.4m-6m Multisensor: up to 8 counters can be grouped together Data recording intervals starting from one minute 3D Stereo Vision algorithm for primary data processing Built-in DSP processor: all the calculations are done in the counter DSP/BIOS real time operating system Micro SD FLASH 8Gb iBeacon, AltBeacon, Eddystone-UID, Eddystone-EID, Eddystone-URL Wi-Fi scanning and recording MAC addresses of mobile devices Automated adjustment to outside lighting (darkness, bright sun, light...

OPTIONAL WI-FI SCANNING MODULE Every smartphone transmits special packages necessary for finding Wi-Fi networks. These packages contain unique identification numbers — MAC addresses. MegaCount counters can scan, detect and store the addresses of iOS and Android users. The MAC addresses gathered by each counter are transferred to the OMEGA data processing system that analyzes the data and exports it to use in online tools. MEGACOUNT| 3D People Counting

OPTONAL BEACON MODULE Simultaneous support of all beacon types. The counter sends all of them at the same time, which ensures flexibility in application development. iBeacon, AltBeacon, Eddystone-UID, Eddystone-EID and Eddystone-URL simultaneously. Smartphone notifications When a customer walks near our counter, e.g., passing by or entering a store, they get a notification on their smartphone about special offers, discounts, sales or new collections. Reach your customers and easily convey important information via smartphones. MEGACOUNT| 3D People Counting

ADVANTAGES OF OPTIC TECHNOLOGIES • • • • • • High resolution: the counter classifies objects according to their height and therefore discounts shadows and specks of light. Large coverage area: by using wide-angle lenses, we have significantly improved the counter’s coverage. With the installation height of 3m (10ft), the coverage is 4m х 3m (13ft х 10ft), which allows covering all standard entrances with just one sensor. High accuracy: the accuracy is almost 100% depending on the specifics of the location and traffic. Long service life: mean time to failure > 20 years; for our counters we...

DATA TRANSFER WEB export to the OMEGA system: the data from each counter is transferred to a processing server by JSON, XML. To collect the processed analytical data, the user connects to the system through the WEB interface in any browser. Flexible export using HTTP or FTP it can be set up for each counter in any format.

CONNECTION Our 3D Stereo counter is connected with a UTP cable by crimping RJ45 plugs or using a patch cord. Power supply: PoE injector or network equipment PoE according to the circuit plan below. MegaCount recommends using 802.3af PoE standard. It’s optional to deliver a PoE injector with the counter set. MEGACOUNT| 3D People Counting

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS Stores and boutiques: mount above the EAS gates. If there is no security gate then mount right above the entrance within the 0.5m (1.6ft) distance from it. Shopping centers: mount the counter where the customer traffic distribution is at its highest — above elevators, entrances, escalators, travellators, corridors, and pass ways.

STYLE In our design we used modern parts for the base of the counter and have created an elegant device that is small in size. The counter is attached close to the ceiling, and its perfect shape and whitecolour cover suit any interior. A unique method of mounting allows to install the counter on any surface: dropped ceiling, open cell ceiling, drywall, concrete, outboard support. Suitable for different style shopping centers and retail chains. The dimensions are 135mm х 65mm х 25mm (5.3in х 2.5in х 0.9in). MEGACOUNT| 3D People Countin

COUNTING METHODS The 3D counter has the unique ability to count customers in ten independent counting zones and you can assign different metrics for each. Example: the task is to count people coming in, passing by, going to the right and going to the left. In this case we create four zones and special tools for each of them (lines, portals, exclusion lines). Pink: In Green: To the left Red lines: To the right Blue: Passers-by MEGACOUNT| 3D People Counting

COUNTING TOOLS It’s possible to employ up to five counting tools and two exclusion filters in different combinations in each of the zones. Add an in-line: adds counting lines with the direction indicators to the detection area; a person is counted as coming in when crossing the line in the direction of counting. Add an out-line: adds counting lines the direction indicators to the detection area; a person is counted as walking out when crossing the line in the direction of counting. Add a crossing line: adds a line that counts all the people who crossed it without the differentiating between...
