Abstract
A method for automatically determining a dynamic queue configuration includes acquiring a series of frames from an image source surveying a queue area. The method includes detecting at least one subject in a frame. The method includes tracking locations of each detected subject across the series of frames. The method includes generating calibrated tracking data by mapping the tracking locations to a predefined coordinate system. The method includes localizing a queue configuration descriptor based on the tracking data.
Claims22
A method for automatically determining a dynamic queue configuration, the method comprising:
- acquiring a series of frames from an image source surveying a queue area;
- detecting at least one subject in a frame;
- tracking locations of each detected subject across the series of frames;
- and,
- estimating a queue configuration descriptor based on the tracking data.
A system for automatically determining a dynamic queue configuration, the system comprising a device for monitoring queue dynamics including a memory in communication with a processor configured to:
- acquire a series of frames from an image source surveying a queue area;
- detect at least one subject in a frame;
- track locations of each detected subject across the series of frames;
- and,
- estimate a queue configuration descriptor based on the tracking data.
