The circuit diagram of object counter is quite similar to my previous project  but a little complex . In this circuit we have used a comparator (IC LM358) and  pair for detecting a object. And then we have used a 555 to generate a pulse for triggering the seven segment decoder (CD4033) and two common cathode  are connected with 7 segment decoder IC. 555 timer IC is configured in mono-stable mode for generating pulse. A LM7805 Voltage regulator is used for providing constant 5 volt power supply for the circuit. And a 9 volt battery used for powering the whole circuit.

Working

In this circuit we detects object by using IR sensor and comparator and then we applied output of comparator to mono-stable multi-vibrator. This mono-stable multi-vibrator generates a pulse of fix time period which can be set by using given formula.
