A crucial aspect for selecting optimal areas for commercial advertising is the probability with which that publicity will be seen. This paper presents a method based on topview camera measurement, where the probability of viewing is estimated according to the trajectories and movements of the head of the passerby individuals in the area of interest. Using a camera with a depth sensor, the head of the people in the range of view can be detected and modelled. That method allows to determine the orientation of the head which is used to estimate the direction of vision. A tracking by detection algorithm is used to compute the trajectory of each user. The attention given at each advertising spot is estimated based on the trajectories and head orientations of the individuals in the area of interest.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
