This paper presents a novel approach for automatic people counting in videos captured through a conventional closed-circuit television (CCTV) using computer vision techniques. The proposed approach consists of detecting and tracking moving objects in video scenes to further counting them when they enters into a virtual counting zone defined in the scene. One of the main problems of using conven...

In this paper, we aim to monitor the flow of people in large public infrastructures. We propose an unsupervised methodology to cluster people flow patterns into the most typical and meaningful configurations. By processing 3D images from a network of depth cameras, we built a descriptor for the flow pattern. We define a data-irregularity measure that assesses how well each descriptor fits a dat...

Knowledge related aspects of businesses processes are often ignored or referred to as a black box in process improvement projects. As a result they remain untouched and it is left to the knowledge workers to establish routines and workflows that deliver results needed to fulfill the business processes needs. This often results in lowered efficiency, redundancy of knowledge related activities, l...

In this paper we propose a head detection method using range data from a stereo camera. The method is based on a technique that has been introduced in the domain of voxel data. For application in stereo cameras, the technique is extended (1) to be applicable to stereo data, and (2) to be robust with regard to noise and variation in environmental settings. The method consists of foreground selec...
