  • Abstract
    A novel real-time people counting system is presented in this paper. Using a single overhead mounted camera, the system counts the number of people going in and out of an observed area. Counting is performed by analyzing an image zone composed by a set of virtual counting lines. The system runs on a commercial PC, does not need a special background and is easily adjustable to different camera height requirements. We have tested the performance of the system, achieving a correct people counting rate of 95%.
