"Crowd counting" is a term used to describe the process of calculating the number of people in a given context; however, crowd counting has multiple challenges especially when images representing a given crowd span multiple cameras or images. In this thesis, we propose a crowd counting camera array and correction (CCCAC) method using a camera array of scaled, adjusted, geometrically corrected, combined, processed, and then corrected images to determine the number of people within the newly created combined crowd field. The purpose of CCCAC is to transform and combine valid regions from multiple images from different sources and order as a uniform proportioned set of images for a collage or discrete summation through a new precision counting architecture. Determining counts in this manner within normalized view (collage), results in superior counting accuracy than processing individual images and summing totals with prior models. Finally, the output from the counting model is adjusted with learned results over time to perfect the counting ability of the entire counting system itself. Results show that CCCAC crowd counting corrected and uncorrected methods perform superior to raw image processing methods.
