Abstract
Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods for tracking occupancy count in an environment based on detected movements and dwell time. An implementation may comprise detecting a person in a plurality of image frames captured by a camera. The implementation may comprise tracking a movement of the person and determining that the person has crossed a boundary within the plurality of image frames. The implementation may comprise identifying a path of the person based on the tracked movement and may comprise calculating a dwell time in response to determining that a difference between the identified path and at least one target path associated with entering or exiting the environment exceeds a threshold difference. The implementation may comprise comparing the dwell time to a target dwell time, and updating and storing the occupancy count of the environment in response to determining that the dwell time is less than the target dwell time.
