Problems solved by technology

The focus of the research is the image processing algorithm. Since the target image is in various forms in different theaters, although the algorithms have their own advantages and disadvantages, most of them are too complicated and prone to errors. There are problems with the accuracy and stability of the system. , not yet successfully applied

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Implementation example figure 1 with figure 2 Shown.

[0023] in figure 1 In, the character pattern on the seat is composed of a letter and a number, and all seats are not repeated. The characters are directly printed on the leather of the seat back with the above IR pigment. In small theaters, ordinary paint can also be used directly.

[0024] in figure 2 In the middle, the image collector uses an infrared network camera, which is installed on one wall, close to the screen and facing the seat. For large theaters, two cameras can be installed on the walls on both sides of the screen. Under the illumination of the auxiliary infrared light source of the infrared network camera, the character pattern of the seat is photographed.

[0025] The image processing module contains character recognition software. The data remote transmission module adopts GPRS module. In production, the image collector, image processing module and data remote transmission module are trinity in o...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a movie theatre attendance statistics method. Character patterns are arranged at the backrest on each seat in a movie theatre, an infrared camera is arranged at the upper portion of the movie theatre, the images of seats including characters are collected and transmitted to an image processing module, and characters are extracted through adoption of the character identification technology to obtain vacant seat information. According to the method, the general seat human being is subjected to fuzzy identification and is changed to the identification of standard characters, and hard things make simple. The patterns of characters can be directly printed on the backrests of the seats with no need for taking spaces accessing power supply and maintaining. The technology of identifying and extracting standard characters from a video image is perfect and reliable with no need for distinguishing the overlapping portions of a plurality of pictures, the image processing is simplified, and the system is stable and reliable and the cost performance is improved. Through adoption of an infrared or visible light camera, the movie theatre attendance statistics method can be widely applied to other occasions requiring the statistics of the number of seats such as a classroom, a conference hall, a library, a waiting lounge, a bank queue machine and the like.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of movie theater management, in particular to a method for counting the number of movie theater audiences. Background technique [0002] Counting the number of audiences in cinemas, counting the number of people from the entrance, there are many uncertain factors in the flow of people, and the statistics are inaccurate, this method is gradually marginalized; statistics from the seats are relatively intuitive and favored by researchers. [0003] At present, there are three main methods for counting people from seats: one is to install a human detector on each seat, such as a pressure or infrared sensor, see CN201320711356; the other is to collect infrared imaging of human body temperature, see CN201310074940; the third is to collect The seat video image is analyzed and processed on the human body image according to a certain algorithm to make a judgment, see CN201410347427. [0004] Due to the troublesome installatio...
