@antonkomarev commented on GitHub (Sep 22, 2020):

GitHub passes all images URLs through their GitHub Camo proxy service.
This means that only GitHub can track personal information, such as visitors User Agent or IP address.
Third party cloud service stores only views timestamps and total count of views.

Sadly, there is no way to implement unique visitors count. That's why counter called views counter.
