Abstract
A method and system for detecting occupancy in a space use computer vision techniques. In one embodiment an object is detected in an image of the space. If the object is detected in a first area of the image, a shape of the object is determined based on a first shape feature of the object and if the object is detected in a second area of the image, the shape of the object is determined based on a second shape feature of the object. The object may be determined to be an occupant based on the determined shape of the object.
