What if you could estimate how many people are in a room… without cameras, wearables, or dedicated counters?
With ELEDIA E-MUSEUM technology, occupancy becomes invisible intelligence – extracted directly from the environment itself
The breakthrough: an opportunistic approach that leverages existing multi-layer environmental data (temperature and humidity), enhanced by physics-based insights and embedded into an AI prediction model.
- No cameras
- No visual impact
- Full respect of privacy
In fact, people leave subtle physical footprints:
- Hot air rises, having temperature gradients increase
- Moisture accumulates from below, having humidity gradients change
and the rationale is:
- Temperature spatial derivatives increase with occupancy
- Humidity spatial derivatives decrease with occupancy
- Both remain flat when spaces are nearly empty
Just smart interpretation of what the environment is already telling us.
The challenge? These signals are noisy, complex, and not designed for this purpose.
