Abstract
Counting systems are widely used for applications related to counting people within a certain area or traffic monitoring in a crowded commercial area, for automatic settings of air-conditioning systems depending on the number of the persons located in that space, etc. Persons counting and identification systems are useful in educational domain or in cultural and entertaining areas where resource allocation must treat differently every class of customers. Therefore the main goal of the paper is to present a sensor-based system that can be used either to monitor the presence of the students in a classroom or to differentially count adults and children that enter parks, museums, etc. The implemented system (PIRUS) comprises passive infrared sensors and ultrasonic sensors. Multiple scenarios have been depicted in order to analyze and improve the performances of the designed system.
