Abstract

A method for estimating a number of occupants in a region comprises receiving a time series of sensor values detected over a period of time by a motion sensor sensing motion in the region. A spread parameter indicative of the spread of the sensor values is determined. The number of occupants in the region is estimated based on the spread parameter.
