Talk 2)
“AI-powered camera == automated people counter!”
By Shane Baldacchino, Director of Cloud & Infra, V2

Imagine the possibilities of transforming a standard camera into an automated and accurate people counter. This is not just a concept, but a practical application using an RTSP IP camera, Python, OpenCV, and OpenVino.

At the AWS Summit, we didn't just use this technology to count the number of people passing our booth. We turned it into an interactive guessing game. Can you guess how many people walked past our booth?

But this goes beyond the booth, with many commercial use cases for an AI people counter including:

• Setting up cameras outside of various retail store locations to determine which store gets the most traffic and when.
• Setting up cameras outside of marketing billboards to determine which billboard gets the most traffic and use the data to sell the billboard space.

There are endless possibilities of AI-driven innovation and it’s simpler than you think!
