Detecting and counting pedestrians is not new, has been done since the 90s, but advanced analysis of real time video is rapidly changing. Called VCA, or Video content analysis. Interesting that Google is involved. Likely for driver less car applications. But possible for other retail applications, which we also examined. Consider also how such methods can be connected with digital signage.
" ... Google Research has quietly made a breakthrough in the emerging area of image recognition and rapid video analysis — a breakthrough that has significant implications for pedestrian detection. Pedestrian detection refers to the analysis of statistics of pedestrian scale, occlusion and location. It gives detection systems a base of knowledge under which to operate ...... As an experiment [PDF], Joe Yue-Hei Ng, Matthew Hausknecht, Sudheendra Vijayanarasimhan, Oriol Vinyals, Rajat Monga and George Toderici — researchers from the University of Maryland at College Park, the University of Texas at Austin and Google — applied several deep neural network architectures to analyze a dataset of videos over longer time periods than previously attempted. ...
