Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to monitor environments are disclosed. Example audience measurement devices disclosed herein include means for executing a first recognition analysis on three-dimensional data representative of a first object within a threshold distance from a three-dimensional sensor. Disclosed example audience measurement devices also include means for executing a second recognition analysis on two-dimensional data representative of a second object outside the threshold distance from the three-dimensional sensor. Disclosed example audience measurement devices further include means for combining a first detection of a first person provided by the first recognition analysis and a second detection of a second person provided by the second recognition analysis to generate a people count for an environment.

Claim (Index 11):
An audience measurement device comprising:\n means for storing a first frame of data and a second frame of data; and means for analyzing data by at least:\n triggering a two-dimensional recognition analysis, in connection with the first frame of data, on two-dimensional data points representative of an object detected in an environment, the triggering based on satisfying a first trigger event, the first trigger event being one of (1) a distance between the object and a sensor of the environment satisfying a threshold distance, or (2) elapsing of a time interval; and \n triggering the two-dimensional recognition analysis in connection with the second frame in response to determining that the object in the first frame is recognized as a person, the second frame subsequent to the first frame, the two-dimensional recognition analysis of the second frame performed on two-dimensional data points representative of a location in the second frame corresponding to a location of the person in the first frame.
