Marketing researches are area where required to analyze a lot of data. E.g. we want to understand how many people are visiting a bank. In order to count this value, we need to count each man or woman which are entering to or exiting from the bank. For resolving this task there are a lot of approaches: e.g. use special gate with laser or mechanical counter. Though there are people counting tasks where such approaches cannot work or too unuseful. E.g. barrier cannot be used where people flow is very high, and laser counters have limitations as well.

Opposite the approaches above, we found papers where top-mounted camera is used for resolving the people counting task.
