Read the original article Hit count: 206

Want to develop a system accurately counting people that go through a normal 1-2m wide door. and twitter whenever people goes in or out and tells how many people remain inside.

Now, Twitter part is easy, but people counting is difficult. There is some semi existing counting solution, but they do not quite fit my needs.

My idea/algorithm: Should I get some infra-red camera mounting on top of my door and constantly monitoring, and divide the camera image into several grid and calculating they entering and gone?

can you give me some suggestion and starting point?
