Managing events requires multiple agencies to collaborate and coordinate resources to make fast, effective decisions.
Managing events requires multiple agencies to collaborate and coordinate resources to make fast, effective decisions. The capability of crowd counting is a new vital ingredient when coupled with other data such as ticketing, weather, logistics and hence becomes a strategic advantage.
Adding Crowd Count A.I. to an aerial live stream
Unleash live is a platform for A.I. developers to monetize their A.I Apps. Crowd Count A.I. works for event organizers to estimate the size of the crowd, the direction, density, flow and the speed of movement, providing real-time feedback on a live stream. Multiple stakeholders, or agencies, both present and remote from the event can access the live stream and apply the Crowd Count A.I. enabling a higher level of collaboration and coordinated decisions.
In addition to crowd counting, Unleash live completes the picture with two additional critical components, live streaming from and to multiple devices/users, and application of additional A.I. algorithms to provide further insights.

Over time, the Crowd Count A.I. will begin to identify patterns and assist the event staff in making faster and better decisions freeing their time to focus on other important functions.
Eventually, the intelligence of the Crowd Count A.I. will begin to communicate with other robotics devices, automating the operation of gates, street signs and other management tools to improve the flow of large groups of people, and making the experience of attending large scale events a seamless enjoyable one, where perhaps not today.
A simple google search for crowd management brings up stories of long delays, queues and frustrated visitors to popular events because organizers were either badly organized, or misread the demand for an event.
Vivid Sydney in June 2018 is one such case. 2 million visitors were expected, with an average daily attendance of 150,000. Getting these figures wrong by just small variations on the day can have wide-ranging implications on pathways and routes not designed to take such load. The matter can quickly escalate into one of security and safety, where event organizers have historically been reliant on highly trained staff using their experience and knowledge to predict the outcome of a given scenario.

Beyond Crowd Count A.I.
Together with the best A.I. developers, Unleash live has been improving and refining the capture of vital data on crowds such as total count, in and outflow, distance, speed to more effectively deal with crowds in large events.
The A.I. experts at Deep Learning Solutions worked with Unleash live on optimizing Crowd Count A.I. for aerial footage. It is another great example of how Unleash live serves as a platform for A.I. developers to train, test, release and monetize their best A.I. algorithms. Developers can learn more here.
We can look to adding Bag Count, and other items that could be deemed as suspicious, with the ability to autonomously flag and raise notifications for staff should an item be left for a period of time.
A further area of development is the implementation of pattern recognition and identifying anomalies such as an individual traveling in an opposite direction to a crowd flow, looking over one’s shoulders repetitively or standing in one spot for longer than what would be deemed normal.
These capabilities in conjunction with high definition live stream from many drones at many locations provide a comprehensive crowd management tool. Coordination centers can flick from one live stream to the next to monitor the movement of crowds around large scale events and most importantly democratize the live stream and unleash staff from having to notice every minute detail.
Retail and sports companies have for some time implemented A.I. in confined spaces, however, Unleash live uniquely brings together these elements (live streaming, real-time A.I. apps, and collaboration tool) to empower users in large outdoor areas to make faster decisions.
