Abstract :
Some image processing techniques applicable to the measurement of density and motion in crowded scenes have been presented. These give results comparable to human observers with potential for real-time implementation. A useful characteristic of these techniques is their independence from the apparent shape of individual pedestrians. Detailed studies of site usage and real-time monitoring then become feasible
