METHODS AND APPARATUS TO COUNT PEOPLE IN IMAGES
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- in response to determining that a first person indication of a first frame obtained via a first image sensor is redundant to a second person indication of a second frame obtained via a second image sensor, storing a first coordinate of the first person indication in connection with a second coordinate of the second person indication in a database; and
in response to detecting a third person indication in a third frame obtained via the first image sensor, querying the database with a third coordinate of the third person indication to determine whether the third coordinate matches the first coordinate.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus to count people in images are disclosed. An example method includes, in response to determining that a first person indication of a first frame obtained via a first image sensor is redundant to a second person indication of a second frame obtained via a second image sensor, storing a first coordinate of the first person indication in connection with a second coordinate of the second person indication in a database; and in response to detecting a third person indication in a third frame obtained via the first image sensor, querying the database with a third coordinate of the third person indication to determine whether the third coordinate matches the first coordinate.

8. A tangible machine readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
-
in response to determining that a first person indication of a first frame obtained via a first image sensor is redundant to a second person indication of a second frame obtained via a second image sensor, store a first coordinate of the first person indication in connection with a second coordinate of the second person indication in a database; in response to detecting a third person indication in a third frame obtained via the first image sensor, query the database with a third coordinate of the third person indication to determine whether the third coordinate matches the first coordinate. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a database to store a first coordinate of a first person indication of a first frame in connection with a second coordinate of a second person indication of a second frame, the first person indication obtained via a first image sensor being redundant to the second person indication obtained via a second image sensor; and a searcher to, in response to detecting a third person indication in a third frame obtained via the first image sensor, query the database with a third coordinate of the third person indication to determine whether the third coordinate matches the first coordinate. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
