SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING, TRACKING AND COUNTING HUMAN OBJECTS OF INTEREST USING A COUNTING SYSTEM AND A DATA CAPTURE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for counting and tracking defined objects, comprising the steps of:
- receiving subset data with a data capturing device, wherein the subset data is associated with defined objects and includes a unique identifier, an entry time, an exit time, and location data for each defined object;
receiving subset data at a counting system;
counting the defined objects;
tracking the defined objects;
associating a location of a defined object with a predefined area; and
generating path data by plotting X and Y coordinates for the defined object within the predefined area at sequential time periods.

Abstract
A method for counting and tracking defined objects includes the step of receiving subset data with a data capturing device, wherein the subset data is associated with defined objects and includes a unique identifier, an entry time, an exit time, and location data for each defined object. The method further includes the steps of receiving subset data at a counting system, counting the defined objects, tracking the defined objects, associating a location of a defined object with a predefined area, and/or generating path data by plotting X and Y coordinates for the defined object within the predefined area at sequential time periods.
