METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COUNTING PASSERS-BY PASSING AN OBJECT

摘要

The invention concerns a method and systeem counting the number of passers-by passing an object (1, 31) with the help of an optical detection system (2), e.g. a camera system (3, 34), which determines a detection area (6). The method comprises the steps of the detection of one or more objects (4) by the detection system within the detection area, which detection system generates a representation code and the counting of the number of detected objects in the representation code for the generation of the number of passers-by. The object may be an advertisement object and the counted number of passers-by a measure for the object's advertising value or effectiveness.
