Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method of analysing a queue comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining, by a computer processor, a first image acquired at a first time of a first position within a queue; (b) obtaining, by the computer processor, a second image acquired at a second time of a second position within the queue; (c) detecting, by the computer processor, a queue member within the first image; (d) detecting, by the computer processor, a queue member within the second image; (e) determining, by the computer processor, that the queue member detected within the second image is the same as the queue member detected within the first image; and (f) determining, by the computer processor, a trajectory of the queue member within the queue based on a difference between the first time and the second time.
