Abstract
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for counting objects involves using an image sensor and a depth sensor, and comprises the steps of: acquiring an image from the image sensor and acquiring a depth map from the depth sensor, the depth map indicating depth information on the subject in the image; acquiring boundary information on objects in the image; applying the boundary information to the depth map to generate a corrected depth map; identifying the depth pattern of the objects from the corrected depth map; and counting the identified objects.
