A system and method for counting and tracking objects comprises a sensor used to capture object data associated with both defined objects and anonymous objects, a data capturing device to receive subset data associated with only defined objects and a counting system. The counting system receives the object data and subset data and identifies matching object data and subset data, the matches being representative of defined objects and is operative to count the defined objects and the anonymous objects and track the defined objects and the anonymous objects. The defined objects may relate to employees or staff with RFID badges, customers with loyalty cards or mobile telephones or items provided with tags. Anonymous objects may relate to customers without any communication device. The path of an object in a predefined area can be produced using the collected data, with the path being used to track customer movements within a store. Also disclosed is a system for counting and tracking objects of interest within a predefined area with a sensor that captures object data and a data capturing device that receives subset data to produce reports that provide information related to a time, geographic, behavioural, or demographic dimension. |
