Hello, currently i am undertaking a FYP that involves MV and since im new to this, im not 100% familiar of how everything works.

im looking to build a code which can detect & count the number of people in a room every 10s, (additional : find the distance from the centroid of each person to the next for Social distancing )  
after which this X number would be sent over wifi to a cloud for storage

im not sure what functions i should be looking to employ in the codes, any help would be greatly appreciated. i have looked at examples from the openMV library such as the tensorflow person detection under ML, however from what i understand this can only detect 1 single person. and i’m unsure of how to edit the code to print out the number of persons detected

thank you for reading

Hi, we just have person and no person detection. It doesn’t count the number of people or do bounding boxes in anyway shape or form. If you want to do this it involves designing a network that can do this that fits on the OpenMV Cam.

Thank you for your prompt response, how would i go about starting to even build such a network?

It’s a research topic still.

I’m also planning to use a heltec LoRA gateway & sensor for a mesh connectivity, would there be any issues with using this and the openMV wifi board concurrently?

You only have the UART/I2C bus free. Otherwise no.
