Apparatus and method for counting moving objects

A method for counting moving objects, comprising:

• detecting a moving object in each frame of an image in a surveillance video, establishing a moving object track set according to a detected moving object of the surveillance video, and scoring a moving object track of the moving object according to a number of times of consecutively detecting a moving object in the moving object track in the moving object track set;
• removing a moving object track in the moving object track set with a score less than or equal to a predefined threshold value;
• and
• counting moving objects according to the moving object tracks in the moving object track set after removal.

An apparatus for counting moving objects, comprising:

• a computer system, comprising
• an establishing unit configured to detect a moving object in each frame of an image in a surveillance video, establish a moving object track set according to a detected moving object, and score a moving object track of the moving object according to a number of times of consecutively detecting the moving object in the moving object track in the moving object track set;
• a filtering unit configured to remove the moving object track in the moving object track set with a score less than or equal to a predefined threshold value;
• and
• a counting unit configured to count moving objects according to moving object tracks in the moving object track set after removal.
