Thingspeak Based Monitoring IoT System for Counting People in A Library

In this study, a real-time system which counts the number of people with the help of a camera was demonstrated. The system can send the number of people to a mobile application via Internet of Things (IoT) and monitor simultaneously. This work is carried out in the main library of Inonu University....

Summary:In this study, a real-time system which counts the number of people with the help of a camera was demonstrated. The system can send the number of people to a mobile application via Internet of Things (IoT) and monitor simultaneously. This work is carried out in the main library of Inonu University. Background subtraction method was used to recognize moving humans on the visual field of the camera. According to motion information of humans, a counter was used to count the number of people in the saloon by determining whether going inside or outside. The counter will inform the users about what percentage of the saloon is empty. Matlab and Thingspeak combination help to send counter information to internet environment. A mobile application was used to track the counter information from Android and iOS smartphones. The results were presented in Matlab environment and mobile application simultaneously. Thanks to this work, students will not have to look for a place to work when the library is crowded and will not bother other working students. It is believed that this project will serve all students.
