How can I count people with Kinect?
I already installed the SDK, as I have version 1 of Kinect I’m with SDK 1.8, I took the examples of the Kinect Toolkit itself but even digging through the code of the examples I couldn’t find a way to count how many people Kinect could see.
I was able to figure out what happens when he sees a person and when he doesn’t see any, but you know how I get to the amount of people he’s seeing?
The Kinect API has had a face detector since version 1.5: http://www.computervisiononline.com/blog/microsoft-released-face-tracking-sdk-kinect-windows But I read somewhere that the SDK is limited in tracking up to 6 people.

But depending on your problem you can use a common webcam to implement your own face counter using the Viola-Jones (Haar Cascade) algorithm already implemented in Opencv (with ports for C++, Python, Java and Android - as far as I know): http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/doc/py_tutorials/py_objdetect/py_face_detection/py_face_detection.html

I really need body detection because he should see everyone in a room, he’ll be on the wall near the ceiling. It has to be with Kinect because it’s a work project. Thanks for your attention :)

Not at all. This other work can then help: http://www.cbsr.ia.ac.cn/users/xczhang/paper/WaterFilling.pdf. P.S.: I think it’s important that you edit the question to put more details about your problem (including the fact that you need to use Kinect near the ceiling). It will help to have more precise answers.

Very old, restricted to a discontinued sdk and product
