Top-view People Counting in Public Transportation using Kinect
نویسنده
چکیده
This article describes a method for people counting in public transportation. In this particular scenario, various body poses corresponding to holding handrails must be accounted for. Kinect sensor mounted vertically has been employed to acquire a database of images of 1-5 persons and an algorithm based on maxima detection and head candidates filtering has been devised for robust people counting, resulting in 90% accuracy.

متن کاملOn the Use of a Low-Cost Thermal Sensor to Improve Kinect People Detection in a Mobile Robot
Detecting people is a key capability for robots that operate in populated environments. In this paper, we have adopted a hierarchical approach that combines classifiers created using supervised learning in order to identify whether a person is in the view-scope of the robot or not. Our approach makes use of vision, depth and thermal sensors mounted on top of a mobile platform. The set of sensor...
متن کاملKinects and Human Kinetics: A New Approach for Studying Crowd Behavior
Modeling crowd behavior relies on accurate data of pedestrian movements at a high level of detail. Imaging sensors such as cameras provide a good basis for capturing such detailed pedestrian motion data. However, currently available computer vision technologies, when applied to conventional video footage, still cannot automatically unveil accurate motions of groups of people or crowds from the ...
