Line Counter Engine.
Count anything. Track everything.

Track and count any object in a video stream — people, vehicles, boats — with configurable lines and virtual gates.

A new detection engine.
Designed to count objects, not just detect them.

Metrici is launching Line Counter, a new software module and detection engine, designed to track and count objects in a video stream.

Line Counter will join the company's existing software offering. Users can draw any number of counting lines or virtual gates across a video stream. Each line tracks object count and movement direction independently.

The engine and data are useful in different scenarios: on streets for vehicle traffic, on sidewalks for pedestrian traffic, in shopping centers to count people entering and exiting, and track points of interest, and more.

DEMO — Line Counter in action

Metrici Line Counter counts how many objects pass through an area within a specific time interval, while Metrici Area Counter shows how many objects are in an area at any given moment and records events when that number changes comparatively.

The engine can also be used in factories to count objects on a production line — monitoring productivity and alerting operators to jams — or in transportation to count objects entering/exiting trucks or moving along distribution lines.

Metrici can detect, count, and keep track of movement for people, cars, boats, or any other object.

Reports, alarms, and insights.
Everything you need for data-driven decisions.

Key capabilities: Directional tracking (in/out), configurable alarm thresholds, historical trend analysis, real-time dashboards, and integration with other Metrici engines.

Reports and statistics provide useful flow information by hour, time of day, or day of the week. You can also view trends over short or long periods.

Alarms can be configured for various scenarios: for example, when the number of objects exceeds a threshold, more than X objects pass in one direction, there's an uneven number of entrances/exits, or traffic is slow.

The traffic system can not only count vehicles but also distinguish between vehicle types.

The solution can be used to calculate travel times and counts of people, vehicles, trains, ships, and other objects.

Metrici can also detect queues and facilitate physical distancing management where required.

Real-time capacity
monitoring and safety.

For public spaces — from airports and train stations to stores, restaurants, bars, and stadiums — there is a growing need for solutions that ensure safe environments.

Metrici accurately measures people flow to effectively manage a location's capacity and monitors distance between individuals.

Metrici can count the inflow and outflow of visiting people in various locations to observe maximum capacity in real time. With other Metrici engines, such as Thermal Analyzer, you can know how many people are present, if they are wearing masks, or measure their temperature.

Users can monitor fill levels in a shop or retail center, or track movement in an airport.

Out of the box, Metrici can be deployed immediately in airports, retail, transportation, commerce, and more. In combination with other Metrici solutions, you can take advantage of the versatile platform and get parameters and insights never available before. This provides multiple ways to use the detection engines through the Metrici interface.

Understand your customers.
Optimize your space. Increase conversions.

Every private business can benefit from traffic counting technology. Traffic counting provides significant insight into customer behavior, helping you make well-informed decisions about business operations.

A shopping mall could use Metrici to identify business hot spots and areas where people gather most frequently. A supermarket could use it to identify the most visited sections or open a new checkout lane when queues form. Users can also track entry and exit counts per entrance throughout the day, or monitor stair usage.

For retail, by knowing the exact number of people entering and leaving a store and the peak hours of visitor traffic, you can schedule personnel efficiently to meet customer demand. You can measure the conversions of each area of a store or a shopping center and optimize it. With traffic analytics, you can identify which areas attract the most customers and adjust store layout and marketing campaigns to improve effectiveness and conversions.

Metrici can measure the entering and exiting patterns at the same time and report these numbers separately.

Beyond retail and traffic.
Line Counter for every sector.

✈️ Airports & Transit

Passenger flow monitoring, queue detection, gate utilization, and terminal capacity management.

🏭 Factories & Production

Output tracking, bottleneck identification, shift productivity, and production line monitoring.

🏟️ Public Venues

Stadium occupancy, event crowd management, emergency evacuation planning, and seat utilization.

🏥 Healthcare

Patient flow tracking, waiting area capacity, staff movement, and compliance monitoring.

Smart traffic management.
Data-driven city planning.

Traffic count data is a vital component of transportation projects. Every administration can also take advantage and take measures based on traffic flow data.

You can monitor the number of vehicles using a specific road and track any increases or decreases in traffic volume. This helps planning for current and future road maintenance, design, repairs, and development.

For each line, a user can set a limit on the number of objects that can cross and trigger alarms when this limit is reached. All detection data and status changes are accessible in the Metrici Interface, along with well-known reports and statistics.

True to its tradition, Metrici Interface settings are highly versatile. This engine and its data can be interconnected with other Metrici detection engines and are accessible through the same Metrici Web Interface.

The solution may be a plus for securing airports, subway stations, factories, production units, or any environment where counting and keeping track of objects is important.

It can also be used in city management — for example, to adjust traffic lights when more pedestrians are waiting to cross.

It serves as a traffic management tool for tracking how many cars are transiting a road. Combining traffic data, whether persons or vehicles, you can increase customer service during key selling periods, reduce costs, and improve security effectiveness.

One interface.
Multiple engines, unlimited possibilities.

Line Counter works alongside Metrici Area Counter, Thermal Analyzer, LPR, and custom detection engines — all accessible from a single web interface. Combine traffic data, be it persons or vehicles, to unlock insights that were never possible before.
