ATTRIBUTE-BASED HEAD-COUNT TOTALING DEVICE, ATTRIBUTE-BASED HEAD-COUNT TOTALING METHOD AND ATTRIBUTE-BASED HEAD-COUNT TOTALING SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an attribute-based head-count totaling device allowing direct acquisition of an index when taking a sales improvement measure or improvement measures for a customer collection rate, in a large-scale store such as a department store or a shopping center. SOLUTION: A camera 3 inputs a pickup image to a connected sensor unit 2. The camera 3 inputs dozens of frames of the pickup images to the sensor unit 2 for one sec. The sensor unit 2 temporarily stores the pickup image inputted from the camera 3 in a buffer memory of a pickup image input part 22. The sensor unit 2 processes the pickup images stored in the buffer memory in an attribute estimation part 23 in order of storage, estimates attributes of imaged persons, and counts a head-count by the attributes. An operation unit 1 totals the head-count counted by the attributes by the corresponding sensor unit 2 for each totaling object area. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
