Abstract:

A novel method for head counting was presented based on the video streams coming from the single-camera installed on the roof of buses. The key idea of this method was based on the principal of count-by-detection method while taking account other sources of information available. First, a fast and effective head detection method was proposed using multi-modal feature sets, including CENTRIST and LBP. Second, a decision for a valid head count was made by fusing the information from head motion and the prior knowledge of the length of time needed for an event of interested. Extensive experiments on a series of video streams collected under real-life scenarios demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
