  • Patent number: 10948354
    Abstract: A method of measuring people flow through a doorway using a low-resolution, low-cost infrared array is disclosed. The method includes reading a sequence of sensor data frames from the infrared array; determining a background temperature frame; determining whether sensor data frames include at least one person using noise filtering techniques; identifying at least one group of adjacent pixels corresponding to the at least one person; determining at least one location corresponding to the at least one person; and determining whether the at least one person is a same person as a person in a previous sensor data frame. Based on the matching of a same person through multiple sensor data frames, direction of movement and entry/exit events can be determined. The entry/exit events can advantageously be used to operate and HVAC system, security system, or other such system more efficiently and effectively.
