Estimation of crowd size for large gatherings is an indispensable metric for event planners, local authorities, and emergency management. Currently, most crowd counting relies on dated methods such as people counters, entrance sensors, and ticket sales. Over the past decade, there has been rapid development in crowd counting techniques and related technology. Despite progress, theoretical advances in crowd counting technology have outpaced practical applications. The emergence of the vast array of crowd counting techniques has added to the challenge of determining those advances that can be most readily implemented. This article aims to provide an overview of promising crowd counting strategies and recent developments applied within the disaster medicine context along with the best use cases and limitations.
估算大型集会的人群规模，对于活动策划者、地方当局和应急管理部门而言，是一项不可或缺的衡量指标。目前，大多数人群计数依赖于过时的方法，如人工计数器、入口传感器和门票销售。在过去十年中，人群计数技术及相关技术发展迅速。尽管取得了进展，但人群计数技术的理论进步已超过实际应用。大量人群计数技术的出现，增加了确定哪些进展能够最容易得到实施的挑战。本文旨在概述在灾难医学背景下应用的有前景的人群计数策略和最新进展，以及最佳用例和局限性。
