  • Abstract
    This paper presents a method for counting people in a scene by establishing a mapping between some scene features and the number of people avoiding the complex foreground detection problem. The method is based on the use of SURF features and of an ∈-SVR regressor to provide an estimate of this count. The algorithm takes specifically into account problems due to partial occlusions and to perspective.
