Problems solved by technology

However, due to noise, multiple light sources, shadows, transparency, and occlusion, the calculated optical flow field distribution is not very reliable and accurate.
At the same time, the calculation of the optical flow field is also very time-consuming.

Embodiment Construction

[0045] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0046] figure 1 It is the implementation flowchart of this embodiment, including target detection, target tracking and target behavior analysis and passenger flow statistics and counting three steps, the present embodiment is analyzing input video image 1 t When , only the brightness information of the image (that is, the grayscale image) is used.

[0047] In the target detection step, the following processes are included:

[0048] 1. Train the second-class target linear classifier: manually collect a variety of images of different scales that only include passenger head information from the captured bus passenger flow video image data in advance as a positive sample set, and collect images of corresponding scales that do not include head information As a negative sample set, the positive sample set and the negative sample set together cons...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for counting passenger flow of buses in real time, which adopts means of machine learning, multi-target detection and tracking, target behavior analysis and the like, and belongs to the technical field of pattern recognition. The method comprises the following concrete steps: detecting passenger targets by analyzing shape information and texture information of passenger heads in video images, wherein a column diagram in a gradient direction is used for representing the shape information, and a column diagram in a local binary mode is used for representing the texture information; then, accurately positioning passengers by adopting the target tracking policy combining gray level cross-correlation matching tracking and mean translation algorithm searching tracking; and finally, judging the behavior characteristics of the passengers by analyzing the moving tracks of the passengers, thereby accurately counting the passenger flow of buses. The practice shows that the method provided by the invention can provide an accurate and reliable basis for realizing intelligent scheduling of buses for bus companies, analyzing the acceptability of mobile media advertisements in buses, and the like, and the invention has very high practical value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pattern recognition, and in particular relates to a method for real-time bus passenger flow statistics. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of my country's economy, various demands for transportation have increased significantly, and the connection between transportation and social and economic life has become increasingly close. Data, thereby reducing the use of buses and improving the safety of road traffic. Therefore, the development of vehicle-mounted mobile value-added services that can improve the current driving environment has become an urgent need for the harmonious development of my country's economy and society. Bus passenger flow statistics is one of them. By obtaining the passenger flow of the road section in real time during this period, the bus company can make a more reasonable dispatch of the bus. On the other hand, the bus advertising investor can also conduct a detai...
