Zusammenfassung:A computer-implemented method allows a wait time to be determined automatically for a queue area. The queue is part of an environment and includes defined entrance and exit areas. A series of images showing the environment are received over time. A wait time associated with the queue area is determined by detecting a location of a object corresponding to a person in a first one of the images; associating the object with an identifier uniquely identifying the object in the first one of the images matching objects in later images; and determining the wait time based on times associated with an image in which an object associated with the identifier enters the queue area through the defined entrance area and later one of the images in which an object associated with the identifier exits the queue area through the defined exit area. An indication of the wait time is output.
