Quebec City at the Bordeaux Wine festival

Quebec City was the guest of honour at the Bordeaux Wine festival that ran from June 24 to 27, 2010.

Click here to see the program.

As such, a dedicated pavilion was hosting different activities. Metalook was challenged to set up a system for counting visitors over the 4 days of the festival. The entrance was about 131 feet wide.

The retained solution featured four cameras and a private access to statistics on a remote server.

The challenge was two-fold:

  • In such pavilions the entry zone is not clearly delimited; people may remain in the areas of counting;
  • The pavilion was opened from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. over the 4 days of  the festival; thus, the lighting conditions were very different between day and night.

Post analysis of the results revealed the system was more than 95% accurate !
