The talk will present our current activities where we are analyzing the occupancy of 10 sports arenas in Aalborg using a thermal camera. The technical heart of the system is based on a master thesis (by Rikke and Anders). First image processing is used to segment potential human objects. Next, these objects are analysed to figure out if they are noise, a single human or multiple humans grouped together. In the latter case, an un-grouping is performed to isolate individuals. Positions are mapped to the floor’s coordinate system and accumulated over time to give an average occupancy over time.
We have recently received funding to continue this work the next three years. The talk will therefore also present the ambition for the future. More info can be found here: http://www.create.aau.dk/bbh/
