Shopping-Center Footfall, Zone Heatmap and Anonymous-Path Statistics

Scope and project-specific requirements

Critical decision conditions

Use necessary-scope anonymous statistics and retention limits, without sensitive customer attributes or cross-site identity tracking.

Candidate technical approach

These are candidate implementation paths. Establish a baseline on real samples, then select or combine methods for imaging, speed and deployment constraints. Model names do not imply measured project results.

Inputs for assessment

Provide goods/SKU and packaging ranges, conveyor or operation speeds, occlusion samples, location/container rules, WMS/TOS/ERP interfaces and review workflows.

Deliverables and interface agreement

Result schema, algorithm or processing configuration, example outputs and evaluation records for: Anonymous mall flows, routes, dwell and zone heatmaps. Software format and source-code scope are agreed in the contract.

Specify input formats, output fields, coordinates/units, error states, versions and invocation methods. Define review and failure handling. The statement of work determines the exact scope of source code, executables, model files or analysis reports.

Acceptance method and measures

Reconcile goods, operational events and business orders. Cover overlaps, soft parcels, damage, unknown SKUs and offline devices; measure omissions, wrong associations and throughput.

These are measures to agree and test, not achieved-performance claims. Freeze samples, reference truth, thresholds and hardware/software versions before acceptance; report subgroup results and failures, identifying under-sampled conditions as uncovered.

Implementation and procurement stages

1. Define scope

   Agree targets, stations, inputs and responsibilities in a statement of work, separating required and excluded conditions.

2. Sample validation

   Use representative samples to test critical risks, document feasibility/failures and scope the next-stage estimate.

3. Development and integration

   Implement agreed functions and interfaces with configuration/change records; use offline replay before authorized device or site integration.

4. Acceptance and handover

   Retest against individual measures and hand over contracted artifacts with known limits; manage maintenance, expansion and changeovers as subsequent work packages.

Scope limits and licensing

Vision records do not automatically establish ownership, damage liability or compliance. Vehicle/person alerts do not replace site safety procedures; product images and personal data need a lawful basis.

Candidate technologies are not license clearance. Check code, model weights, training data and dependency versions separately. Replace, license or exclude components unsuitable for the intended commercial delivery. Customer data is not used for public training by default.
