Waypoint TelemetryWaypoint Telemetry

Research & Validation

Built on field testing, not assumptions.

We test Waypoint's sensing, computer vision, and deployment methods against real-world conditions. Each study documents what we tested, how, what we found, and where performance declined.

Featured validation

Three pedestrians on a path, each outlined by a detection box from the Waypoint vision pipeline

Validation report

Trail Counting Validation

Testing detection and classification across real-world multi-use trail conditions.

Pickleball & Tennis Court Validation

Evaluating field of view, distance, and detection performance for outdoor court utilization.

Read the study

Computer vision validation

How the detection pipeline behaves under changing conditions, and how it turns detections into accurate, directional counts.

Detection Robustness

Performance across changing environmental conditions.

Directionality Validation

How Waypoint determines direction of travel.

Noise Filtering

How the system suppresses duplicate detections and irrelevant activity.

Field research

Pilot studies, technical papers, and the published research on visitor monitoring that informs how we design deployments.

Past Studies

Pilot deployments and research projects conducted with Waypoint technology.

Whitepapers

Technical papers on AI-based outdoor recreation monitoring.

Trail Monitoring Research

Curated literature on visitor monitoring and trail counting methods.
