System and method for guest path analysis

Abstract

The invention provides a system and method for guest path analysis, wherein the guest path analysis system computes and records path of guests based on images captured from a plurality of capturing areas. A face detection engine detects image of face from images captured from a plurality of capturing areas. A face recognition engine checks face images detected by a face detection engine in accordance with face images registered in the register database.
