A bunch of "experts" have discovered that ChatGPT and LLM's don't really think - they just guess the next best word. That may be (kinda, sorta) true. But isn't that exactly what people...? tw2br.com/philosophy/chatgpt…

Join me, Jason Williams from Vancouver Airport, and Gerald Becker from Quanergy as we talk about how YVR uses #lidar and flow analytics to improve landside operations: linkedin.com/posts/garyangel…

Public-safety applications for #lidar are plentiful and varied - and it's nice to sell something with such straightforward benefits. But there is one application I hope never to sell again: linkedin.com/pulse/lidar-peo…

#Lidar fits public safety applications remarkably well because of its technical profile: environmental & mounting flexibility, accuracy of position and identification, extraordinary coverage, and no PII. So it's no surprise that it's being widely deployed: linkedin.com/pulse/lidar-peo…

The more use-cases you bring to #lidar measurement the higher your ROI - because it doesn't cost more to add use-cases to the same system. That makes use-cases like HVAC control really attractive if you're doing flow-analytics: linkedin.com/pulse/from-cool…

From cool things to cooling things - the uses of #lidar people measurement for HVAC control and energy conservation: linkedin.com/pulse/from-cool…

Providing real-time information on crowding and wait times is like delivering customized Google Maps to your users - it's a way to improve load-balancing and efficiency without ANY operational changes: linkedin.com/pulse/using-lid…

When you let customers/passengers know what's happening and what to expect, there are surprising operational benefits. From load-balancing to compliance, the information ROI from #lidar people measurement can be surprising: linkedin.com/pulse/using-lid…

People-measurement provides theatre-level lighting control and customized soundscapes. It can swivel displays to present optimal facing to the shopper or adjust to their height. Environments come alive when they respond to what people do, and alive is fun: linkedin.com/posts/garyangel…

Using people-measurement to make environments more responsive, more interactive and...well...more fun: linkedin.com/posts/garyangel…

Can you personalize the in-store experience? It's hard, but real-time full journey tracking is providing the critical measurement engine to make it possible: linkedin.com/pulse/personali…

From queue management to curbside control and dynamic maintenance routing to JIT asset management, #lidar operational control provides better consistency, responsiveness, and efficiency that either manual intervention or fixed process strategies: linkedin.com/pulse/automatio…

There's nothing worse than using people to count people: linkedin.com/pulse/automatio…

It isn't analytics vs operations when it comes to people measurement. The same setup that does flow-analytics can drive a host of monitoring and optimization use-cases: linkedin.com/posts/garyangel…

People measurement supports a truly surprising variety of real-time monitoring and device control use-cases. From publishing lines at a landfill to personalizing a display to stopping a drawbridge on the way up, people-measurement can do surprising things: linkedin.com/posts/garyangel…

A discussion of real-time #lidar data quality and cleaning and a final wrap on the series - with the key takeaways about lidar data quality for flow analytics - in my latest post: linkedin.com/pulse/real-time…

If cleaning #lidar data is hard, it's even more challenging to do it in real-time. My last post in the lidar data quality series explains what you can and can't hope to do in the latencies between 100ms and 15 seconds: linkedin.com/pulse/real-time…

The asymmetry between when an #lidar people-measurement system starts tracking objects and when it stops tracking objects isn't a traditional data quality problem. But it sure can muck up things like door-counting and throughput measurement: linkedin.com/pulse/door-coun…

Lidar isn't thought of as a door-counting technology. And it's not. But that doesn't mean it isn't used for door-counting. In my latest post, I explain that apparent paradox and the biggest data quality challenge when you door-count with #lidar: linkedin.com/pulse/door-coun…
