Count people and estimate crowd sizes with AI

Upload photos or videos and the AI will count people and calculate totals. You can count in freestyle mode, which results in an ad-hoc count, or you can utilize a structured approach to determine crowd sizes and crowd flow metrics in large events.

How it works

Crowd counting is an ‘AI as a Service’. Use the AD Analytics dashboard to launch the Crowd counting service. Then upload images and/or video. You may select the freestyle counting method or the structured approach.

If you choose the latter, make sure geo metadata such as GPS data is also available within the media files.

The AI engine will process the media files and deliver a person count, with detailed metrics. Structured counts are always in a unique batch, as multiple batches may make up the job in question. On the other hand, if the count is freestyle, there is a single batch for each job since the result is ad-hoc.

Your AD Analytics dashboard will store all uploaded and processed data on the cloud, which may be accessed at any time through the dashboard.
