Thanks a lot for this approach! I guess this could be the right way. But my problem is that I think it will be necessary to integrate depth data since I want to use the system in a club context with heavy light changes in the environment. Am I right that there must be always constant light conditions when using optical flow?

Hi everybody, I am completely new in openCV and have not that much background in computer vision at all. What I need to achieve is a calculation of the "movement energy" in a real time video stream, let's say provided by depth raw data coming from a kinect camera. Concrete application: I want to measure und visualize on a scale how much/strong a large group of people, which is covered by a kinect camera, is moving. Since I found no approaches of the side of the kinect sdk and instantly by google I would like to know if there are any provided functionalities that I can use to reach this goal? I am really happy about suggestions and tips. Thanks a lot in advance.
