About this

This page uses a person detection system built on the public timcam feed to estimate the line size in real time. The feed is low resolution and blurry, so accuracy isn't perfect. Also, when the count reaches 10+, people at the back of the line or extending into the courtyard may be missed.

Want to know how it works? Check out my detailed post about the project.

API & resources

The Timcam API I created to power this page is publicly available at timcam-api.cheyne.dev and is for educational, non-commercial use. The source video feed is also available on UBC Okanagan's student resources page.

For integration, check out the API documentation, the live SSE stream, or the JSON snapshot endpoint.

Thanks to UBCO Engagement Services and UBC IT Okanagan for creating and supporting the timcam feed.
