Problem Statement
Vadodara Marathon, takes place every year in Vadodara where around 100,000 participants run across city. The even is hosted by Jyoti Ltd. We were asked to develop a software to help calculate the corwd strength at specific locations while the marathon is taking place.
Software
Pytorch was used on CUDA, we trained our CNN model on Shanhai Dataset which had numerous images of crowds ranging from street to stadium full of people. The images were annotated in Matlab files consisting of the 'head' counts of every image.
Hardware
Using iot-based wifi cameras, we connected it to Raspberri Pi where the images were supposed to be stored. Applying the image processing post event, statically.
Technologies used and skills learned were:
- Python3
- PyTorch
- Raspberri Pi
- Image Processing
- IOT (connecting cameras over local servers)
- CUDA
