Abstract

This paper proposes an Automatic counting people system as a strategy to control COVID-19 spread. The system proposed allows counting in real-time the number of people in a specific space, that information can contribute to the decision of the number of people that can enter a space. The automatic counting people system contributes to keeping the minimum distance between each person, a measure that many governments have implemented as a tool to prevent COVID-19 spread. The counter was implemented using an ESP8266 module, which is a low-cost device with a great capacity for information.
