People identification and counting system using raspberry Pi (AU-PiCC: Raspberry Pi customer counter)

The work in this paper focuses on an implementation of OpenCV in an embedded system like raspberry Pi to create a mini-standalone station for counting people. The key feature of AU-PiCC (Assumption University's raspberry Pi Customer Counter) is to count a number of interested people on target product in a pre-defined area along with a simple face identification to avoid counting duplicates. The experimental results show that this raspberry Pi-based system can be used as a simple people counter station.
