Abstract

Portable counting apparatus for smart city implementation using artificial intelligence, the apparatus comprising: a tripod; a camera module disposed on the tripod and takes images of a region of interest; a driver counting number of an objects corresponding to the region of interest by analyzing the image of the region of interest; a communicating module transmitting information of the number of the object corresponding to the region of interest to a server; a power supplying part supplying a power to at least one of the camera module, the driver and the communicating module; and a case part, wherein the power supplying part includes a solar cell part producing power using solar energy; and a battery storing the power produced by the solar cell part, wherein the case part includes a space inside to accommodate at least one of the battery and the driver, wherein the tripod includes a pillar part including a portion extended along a vertical direction; a mounting part located on a top of the pillar part; and a plate part including a hole through which the pillar part passes; wherein the camera module is disposed on the mounting part, wherein the plate part is located below the mounting part, wherein the communicating module is disposed on the plate part.

Claims (77)

1 . A portable counting apparatus for smart city implementation using artificial intelligence, the apparatus comprising:

a tripod;

a camera module disposed on the tripod and takes images of a region of interest;

a driver configured to count a number of objects corresponding to the region of interest by analyzing the image of the region of interest;

a communicating module transmitting information of the number of the objects corresponding to the region of interest to a server;

a power supplying part supplying a power to at least one of the camera module, the driver and the communicating module; and

a case part,

wherein the power supplying part includes

a solar cell part producing power using solar energy; and

a battery storing the power produced by the solar cell part,

wherein the case part includes a space inside to accommodate at least one of the battery and the driver,

wherein the tripod includes

a pillar part including a portion extended along a vertical direction;

a mounting part located on a top of the pillar part; and

a plate part including a hole through which the pillar part passes;

wherein the camera module is disposed on the mounting part,

wherein the plate part is located below the mounting part,

wherein the communicating module is disposed on the plate part,

wherein the plate part includes

a first area which the hole is formed; and

a second area which the communicating module is disposed,

wherein a length of the plate part along a longitudinal direction is greater than a width of the plate part along a width direction,

wherein the first area and the second area are adjacent in the longitudinal direction,

wherein the first area is crossed with the second area,

wherein the hole is formed by penetrating the plate part in the vertical direction in the first area,

wherein the second area includes a portion which is extended in the vertical direction,

wherein the plate part further includes a first holder and a second holder,

wherein the communicating module is disposed between the first holder and the second holder.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first holder and the second holder are adjacent in the vertical direction.

3 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the communicating module is inserted between the first holder and the second holder in a sliding manner along the width direction.

4 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the communicating module includes a first protrusion protruded toward the first holder and a second protrusion protruded toward the second holder.

5 . A portable counting apparatus for smart city implementation using artificial intelligence, the apparatus comprising:

a tripod;

a camera module disposed on the tripod and takes images of a region of interest;

a driver configured to count a number of objects corresponding to the region of interest by analyzing the image of the region of interest;

a communicating module transmitting information of the number of the objects corresponding to the region of interest to a server;

a power supplying part supplying a power to at least one of the camera module, the driver and the communicating module; and

a case part,

wherein the power supplying part includes

a solar cell part producing power using solar energy; and

a battery storing the power produced by the solar cell part,

wherein the case part includes a space inside to accommodate at least one of the battery and the driver,

wherein the tripod includes

a pillar part including a portion extended along a vertical direction;

a mounting part located on a top of the pillar part; and

a plate part including a hole through which the pillar part passes;

wherein the camera module is disposed on the mounting part,

wherein the plate part is located below the mounting part,

wherein the communicating module is disposed on the plate part,

wherein the case part includes

a body part; and

a cover part connected to the body part,

wherein the body part includes

a first side wall;

a second side wall opposite to the first side wall;

a front wall connected to one end of the first side wall and one end of the second side wall;

a rear wall opposite to the front wall and connected to the other end of the first side wall and the other end of the second side wall; and

a bottom wall connected to the first side wall, the second side wall, the front wall and the rear wall,

wherein the cover part is connected to the rear wall,

wherein a handle is connected to the front wall,

wherein a plurality of holes is formed on the first side wall,

wherein no hole is formed on the second side wall,

further comprising

a first power line transmitting power produced in the solar cell part to the battery;

a second power line transmitting power from the battery to the camera module;

a third power line transmitting power from the battery to the communicating module;

a fourth power line transmitting power from the battery to the driver;

a first data line for communicating between the driver and the camera module; and

a second data line for communicating between the driver and the communicating module,

wherein the driver and the battery are disposed within the case part,

wherein the first side wall includes

a first hole through which the first power line passes;

a second hole through which the second power line passes;

a third hole through which the third power line passes;

a fourth hole through which the first data line passes; and

a fifth hole through which the second data line passes,

further including a hole cover disposed on the first side wall and covering the first hole, the second hole, the third hole, the fourth hole, and the fifth hole.
