Abstract

In this paper, we propose a real-time algorithm for counting people from depth image sequences acquired using the Kinect sensor. Counting people in public vehicles became a vital research topic. Information on the passenger flow plays a pivotal role in transportation databases. It helps the transport operators to optimize their operational costs, providing that the data are acquired automatically and with sufficient accuracy. We show that our algorithm is accurate and fast as it allows 16 frames per second to be processed. Thus, it can be used either in real-time to process traffic information on the fly, or in the batch mode for analyzing very large databases of previously acquired image data.
