Method for real-time counting of pedestrians for statistical purposes coupled with facial recognition function and apparatus applying method

A method in a real-time pedestrian statistic apparatus;

• the real-time pedestrian statistic apparatus comprises a processor and a storage with at least one command;
• the at least one command is implemented by the processor to execute the following steps:
• acquiring to-be-analyzed video;
• extracting images showing pedestrian in the to-be-analyzed video as images;
• identifying pedestrians in the images by the first detection model and outputting pedestrian frames;
• extracting facial sub-frames based on a face identification operation applied to the pedestrian frames;
• executing the duplication-removal operation of duplicated faces in the facial sub-frames by the second detection model;
• determining whether a database comprises the face;
• labeling the face of pedestrians appearing in each facial sub-frame and tracking a path of a movement of a pedestrian based on a specified algorithm when the database does not comprise the face;
• determining whether the path of the movement of the pedestrian passes through the specified location;
• and
• when the path of the movement of the pedestrian does not pass through the specified location, extracting target object, which are projected to pass through the specified location, and computing a total number of the target objects.
