Hi,

I need help on detecting the number of persons sitting on a seat of short length. The way of sitting is same like we sit on a bike.. Please share your ideas after that i will discuss the ways implemented so far. I am limited by the knowledge in sensors Help will be appreciated.

    This sounds like an EE senior design project to me, am I correct? Edit: Maybe too advanced for a senior design, so a Master's Thesis?

    There are many ways to detect the number of people, but as pointed out, more information is needed to suggest a solution or optimize a solution.

    What are the geometry and dimensions of the seat?

    Do people occupy specific locations?

    Are they moving constantly?

    What are they wearing?

    Who are the people - can they be wearing markers?

    What are the dynamics of seating? How fast do things change?

    What are the ambient conditions? Is it outdoors?

    How much light is there?

    Can it get wet?

    Why is the number important?

    etc.
