Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés et un appareil pour compter des personnes apparaissant dans une image. Un procédé de l'invention consiste à: réduire les objets apparaissant dans une série d'images en une ou plusieurs taches; représenter la (les) tache(s) dans chaque image individuelle d'un groupe d'images de la série d'images par un ou plusieurs symboles d'un histogramme; et analyser les symboles figurant dans l'histogramme en vue de compter les personnes apparaissant dans l'image.
