Visitor counting system is counter based system that count the number of visitors comes to a specific area. This visitor counting system can be used at the entrance of the intended visitor counting area like market place, shopping mall, pedestrian traffic management etc. for counting total number of visitor. It is very important for getting information about how many visitors are present in a specific area at a given time. Visitors can be counted by using different types of sensors namely infra-red sensor, laser beam, video camera and thermal sensor. Literature shows that visitor can be counted accurate by using video camera with different video processing methods. This paper shows an approach of visitor counting system based on video camera. Images from video camera can be taken to computer via USB for different image processing and counting the visitors. This visitor counting system can be implemented in Matlab Simulink and with the help of image processing toolbox this system is able to count visitors efficiently.
