A Smart Meeting Management System With Video Based Seat Detection

Nowadays intelligent meeting management is attracting more and more attention. Compared with most existing smart meeting systems which care more about recording talks during meeting in small meeting room, this paper describes an intelligent meeting management system for large auditorium. A cascade empty seat detection algorithm is embedded in the system to acquire the statuses of each seat. Empty seats are labeled step by step according to the extent of occlusions. Combined with attendee information input in advance, the system could provide people with the seated condition and corresponding information of attendees during the meeting. Experimental results demonstrate that the precision of seat's statuses detection could achieve 99.8%.
