- Abstract
Counting people is a basic operation in applications that include surveillance, marketing, services, and others. Recently, computer vision techniques have emerged as a non-intrusive, cost-effective, and reliable solution to the problem of counting pedestrians. In this article, we introduce a system capable of counting people using a cooperating network of depth cameras placed in zenithal position. In our method, we first detect people in each camera of the array separately. Then, we construct and consolidate tracklets based on their closeness and time stamp. Our experimental results show that the method permits to extend the narrow range of a single sensor to wider scenarios.
