Real-time Crowd Heatmap - SenseCraft_Rick - CodeCraft Hub

Documentation

Do you want to know which shelf in your store is most attractive? Want to understand where the "prime traffic flow" is in your showroom? Distributed via the SenseCraft platform and built specifically for the reCamera series of AI cameras, this application transforms complex computer vision technology into intuitive "heatmaps" and statistical data. It provides real-time, precise spatial crowd analysis while using edge computing technology to fundamentally resolve privacy concerns. Application Scenarios Redefining Space Management with AI ● Retail & Supermarkets Unsure where to place products for better sales? Are promotional displays being ignored? Use the Crowd Heatmap to analyze shelf popularity (attention). The heatmap intuitively shows customer dwell time and gathering density in front of different shelves. Optimize product display and in-store traffic flow design to convert "traffic" into "sales". ● Commercial & Showrooms Quantify area value. Stores often suffer from wasted rent in "cold zones." Accurately identify high-frequency activity areas (hot zones) and neglected areas (cold zones) to scientifically evaluate advertising effectiveness and improve the conversion rate of every square meter of space. ● Security & Public Management Predict congestion risks. Excessive foot traffic creates safety hazards, and manual monitoring is often reactive. Monitor crowd density in real-time and predict queue times. Provide data warnings before traffic overload occurs to effectively prevent overcrowding and stampede accidents. Core Technologies & Advantages ● Pure Edge Computing (Edge AI): This application adopts a pure edge architecture, running without the need for expensive backend servers. ● Privacy First: This is the application's biggest highlight. All AI human detection and trajectory tracking are completed locally on the reCamera device. The system performs real-time Gaussian blur desensitization on the original footage, outputting only processed coordinate data and statistical heatmaps. Raw biometric footage never goes to the cloud, completely eliminating the risk of privacy leakage. ● Low Cost & Easy Deployment: Full-link visual analysis is completed on a single device without deploying complex local server clusters, significantly reducing project implementation costs. ● Flexible Extension: Based on the SenseCraft ecosystem, models can be quickly switched in the future, extending from human detection to other heatmap applications such as vehicles or animals. Hardware & Software Preparation To run this application, you need to prepare the following environment: ● Hardware Carrier: reCamera (AI Camera) . This is a compact (within 50cm*30cm) and powerful edge AI device. ● Software Platform: SenseCraft (Application Distribution). This application is built and distributed based on the SenseCraft platform, supporting one-click deployment of models and firmware. ● Data Visualization: InfluxDB (Database) and Grafana (Data Visualization Dashboard) are used to achieve visual data presentation. Deploy This application supports one-click deployment on the SenseCraft platform. You can follow the Wiki guide to connect your reCamera to the network and complete the node configuration. Build your own AI heatmap system in just a few minutes.
