How does iCount work?

iCount takes a picture of the audience with a high resolution camera using the illumination of the screen. This picture is taken without an external flash or additional lighting. The picture is sent to a computer where intelligent Machine Vision algorithms count the number of people sitting in each auditorium. These algorithms recognize the human shapes to identify and count the audience. The count is compared with the number of tickets sold. Any resulting discrepancy is reported through the web or email with visual proof. The interactive cinema is provided by recognizing the gestures such as raised hands of the audience or colored indicators selected by the user.
