SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR DETECTING, TRACKING AND COUNTING HUMAN OBJECTS OF INTEREST

摘要

A method of identifying, tracking, and counting human objects of interest based upon at least one pair of stereo image frames taken by at least one image capturing device, comprising obtaining said stereo image frames and converting them to a rectified image frame using calibration data, generating a disparity map based upon a pair of said rectified image frames, generating a depth map based upon said disparity map and said calibration data, identifying the presence or absence of said objects of interest from said depth map and comparing each of said objects of interest to existing tracks comprising previously identified objects of interest, for each said presence of an object of interest, adding said object of interest to one of said existing tracks or creating a new track, updating each said existing track, and maintaining a count of said objects of interest in a given time period.
