Abstract
A queue analysis apparatus includes an acquisition unit, a first detection unit, and a control unit. The acquisition unit acquires an image of an area of a queue, which is captured by an imaging apparatus. The first detection unit detects persons from the image acquired by the acquisition unit. The control unit controls indications of standby positions of the queue so as to be displayed on a floor of the area of the queue so that a spacing between the indications of the standby positions of the queue is determined based on the persons detected by the first detection unit.
