19 Technologies of People Tracking
According to Behavior Analytics Retail,
People Tracking Technologies generate actionable insights to increase conversations and profits of physical locations such as retail stores, shopping malls, and smart buildings.
By tracking customer behaviors, you get more from assets you already have in physical retail.
It’s important to know:
Beyond people counting, tracking people include quantifying behaviors by motion (location and time), activities (such as gaze tilting and eye-tracking), and attributes (such as facial demographics).
Today, the technologies to track how customers behave in physical retail are cost-effective and with good enough accuracy.
To put it simply:
If you think you need in-store customer tracking, you do.
Technologies deployed to track people behaviors include:
(AI Deep Learning) Vision
(Biometrics) Facial Recognition
(Biometrics) Facial Demographics
(Biometrics) Eye-Tracking
3D Spatial Learning (Augmented Reality)
3D Stereo Video Analytics
2D Monocular & Fisheye Video Analytics
Thermal Imaging
Time of Flight (ToF)
Structured Light 3D Scanner
Lidar 3D Laser Scanning
Open Source Raspberry Pi
WiFi (Wide Area Network) Location Tracking
UWB (Ultra Wide Band) Radar Imaging
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) Beacons
GPS (Global Positioning System) Personal Trackers
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Tags & Tracking
QR Code (Quick Response)
NFC (Near Field Communication)
The tracking solution can be interactive or anonymous. It could track objects, devices, or any “things” to capture behaviors in real life.
The complexity of the tracking system depends on object positioning, recognition attributes, and precision parameters.
Details matter.

#CoreTrendsForTracking, #Tracking, #TrackingBehaviors
Technology
The coronavirus pandemic ignited a rush to invest in retail technologies. In 2021, there are three core trends for in-store technologies:
In 2020, people tracking technologies crossed the chasm.
The complete coverage of a mid-size store with sensors costs about $10,000, with good enough accuracy of 96% and more.
Around the world, location owners deploy Real-Time Occupancy solutions to comply with government regulations of social distancing.
And new technologies of customer behaviors are being deployed, such as emotional sentiments and body motions.
The massive shift to Cloud, 5G, and Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems has sped up the ability to capture, manage, and analyze Big Data.
At the same time, government regulations and consumer awareness of privacy encourage the deployment of sensors in local stores. The @Edge technologies store the raw data locally and transmit anonymous metadata to central servers.
