First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining pedestrian traffic, the method comprising:
- detecting persons from a video input;
determining pedestrian traffic at a location from the detected persons;
tracking pedestrian traffic at the location over time; and
predicting pedestrian traffic at the location at a future time, based at least in part on the tracked pedestrian traffic.

Abstract
Person detection and tracking techniques may be used to estimate pedestrian traffic in locations equipped with cameras. Persons detected in video data from the cameras may help determine existing pedestrian traffic data. Future pedestrian traffic estimation may be performed to estimate pedestrian traffic characteristics (such as volume, direction, etc.) Such traffic estimation may be provided to users for route planning/congestion information. A traffic map can be derived based on the number of people at or expected to be at certain locations. The map may be provided to users to provide traffic data and/or estimations.
