Abstract(in English) Measuring human flow, which count number of people or their flow line who exist any space or room is beneficial to think about evacuation route or set-out of goods.However, existing methods using RGB cameras, such as surveillance cameras, have privacy issues because they simultaneously acquire information on the face and clothing that identify the person. In this paper, we propose a system that uses depth information, which indicates the distance from the sensor, instead of color information, to measure human flow and protect privacy. At the same time, we proposed a method for detecting the location and number of people based on the depth information. We also conducted experiments in an actual space using a program that implements the proposed method, and examined the points that need to be improved in the method and what conditions are required for measurement.
