Abstract

We present in this paper a system for passengers counting in buses based on stereovision. The objective of this work is to provide a precise counting system well adapted to buses environment. The processing chain corresponding to this counting system involves several blocks dedicated to the detection, segmentation, tracking and counting. From original stereoscopic images, the system operates primarily on the information contained in disparity maps previously calculated with a novel algorithm. We show that one can obtain a counting accuracy of 99% on a large data set including specific scenarios played in laboratory and on some video sequences shot in a bus during exploitation period.
