Abstract: The present invention relates to a people counter using a TOF camera and a method of counting people, and more particularly, to a people counter using a TOF camera that can easily check and count objects corresponding to people by filtering objects moving in an image on the basis of depth information obtained by the TOF camera, and a method of counting people. According to the present invention, it is possible to easily revise depth information and size information of an object, which are obtained by a TOF camera disposed on a ceiling, into actual depth and size information, and to ensure reliability in counting people without complicated setup and operation by providing the information so that an object corresponding to a person can be easily recognized and counted from image information obtained by filtering the information into depth information of a person.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a method of monitoring a queue that allow for exactly recognizing objects in a queue and exactly monitoring the situation of the queue by tracking the recognized objects, using depth detection device such as a TOF camera. According to the present invention, it is possible to map a space and an image using depth information provided through a depth detection device without mapping a 3D space to an image taken by a camera and exactly measure the actual heights of objects from the ground using depth information of the objects and the background and initial parameters of the depth detection device so that desired objects can be exactly detected and recognized in filtering. Accordingly, the system can be less complicated. Further, waiting time is assigned to recognized objects so that they can be easily tracked.

Abstract: Disclosed is a people counter including a setting interface and a setting method thereof. Since a reference width used to count of a moving object within an image is visibly arranged and displayed on a screen so that a detected width of the moving object can be compared with the reference width, setting and verification for count is very easy. In addition, since the interface can be freely moved for adjustment and comparison of a reference width using a pointing device such as a mouse, thereby providing verification and resetting which are intuitive and practical over conventional manual adjustment schemes, count accuracy can be easily increased in different environments depending on conditions or type of moving objects within an image.
