Automatic counting of people

Abstract

This effort deals with the problem of effective counting of people in the room. Although more companies deal with this problem at present, but their systems are very expensive. For this reason I strive to find a cheaper solution for counting people using active infra- red sensors by which I want to perceive the passage of a person through the door or his presence in the room. In addition it is necessary to take into consideration the other various situations that may occur when a person comes into the room or when he/she leaves. These situations can be in many cases similar, but the output should be able correctly distinguish the possibilites. The result of this effort is detector which is able to detect correctly one person or more people passing the door. People can browse through a door one behind the other, but they also can pass in the doorway in random combinations
