Can anyone recommend me an open source software to calculate footfall?

Question

Hi I am organising an open event for public to celebrate a festival, in which more than 3000 are expected to come. I need to count how many people are coming in and outgoing from the event. I can have a camera attached at the entrance with a top view. Software/library can use ai or image processing, anything to keep track of how many have entered the event and how many have exited over a period of time. The data can help me to be more efficient in my future events.Thanks in advance

Can't you use those simple people counters? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_counter

Hire people to stand at the entrance with a hand-counter (one for entry, one for exit). Have them jot down the count every half hour. Cheap, easy, foolproof.

i don't know of any sounds like you need a custom solution which won't be cheap.
