Claim 4:
5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when execute by an electronic processor, cause the electronic processor to:
receive video depicting street segments from vehicle-mounted smartphones;
bucketize the video into buckets that are separately associated with segments of the video capturing a street segment from the street segments by one of the vehicle-mounted smartphones;
identify (i) a selected segment of the street segments for which no video is received during a time interval and (ii) adjacent segments that are adjacent to the selected segment;
calculate a number of pedestrians for each of the adjacent segments during the time interval using image recognition and pedestrian counts for the adjacent segments by dividing the number of pedestrians for each of the adjacent segments by a number of video frames associated with the adjacent segments; and
estimate a pedestrian count for the selected segment according to an average of the pedestrian counts associated with the adjacent segments.
