METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ASSISTING VISITORS IN EXHIBITION-LIKE EVENTS USING IMAGE-BASED CROWD ANALYSIS

摘要

A vision system that is capable of computing the crowd density at an exhibition-like event provides real-time information to visitors to allow them to avoid crowds or identify the most popular exhibits. Well-known counting techniques may be employed. One type of display that provides crowd information is a map display with an overlay showing density of visitors.
