Raspberry Pi 5 & Oak-D-Lite (People Tracking/Footfall)

1

Hi there -

Im new to the Forum, I have recent Project, I have a Oak-D-Lite and about to try and connect it to my Rasp Pi 5, I want to count footfall for metrics around certain areas, with this in mind, i want to also be able to generate a report on a monthly basis (Graph). Has anyone ever done anything like this before, would be interested to speak to people about this. Thanks

Hey there, StrataAd, and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here.

That’s definitely easy to do. If you can regularly export the data from the Oak-D-Lite to a database (or a single JSON file), you can then use a Python script to graph the data. Python has a number of libraries for graphing data, MatPlotLib is probably the most common and easy to use.

Hi Jane, thanks for the Reply -

Is they a generic site where there’s already pre made projects.

Im new to the scripting side of things aswel, Raspberry Pi is a new world to me, but i find it very intriguing and it will help my business, I’m currently in the process of coding 2 things for the project.

  1. Tracking footfall when people walk past from one side to the other(monthly report)
  2. Tracking footfall when people actually look up at the camera(Ad Screen is in motion)(Monthly Report)

Having these variables will give me better data and a good comparison. I’ll be posting my updated project along the way, anyone who feels like they want to give any advice, please let me know, looking forward to it.

Hey @StrataAd ,

We have a section of our site dedicated to showing off cool community projects that may be of interest to you.

I look forward to hearing about your progress with your football tracker!
