Counting the number of passengers getting in/out of a bus in each station is a challenging task in smart bus field.To solve the problem, this paper presents a method of automatic people counting for a bus based on a RGB-D video, a zenithal camera in the bus door capturing the passengers flow is set, and the camera can get depth Image and RGB image simultaneously, we proposed a method combining RGB image and depth image to detect the head of the passengers, and then a novel tracking strategy is proposed.The test results show that this method can accurately extract the head area in the video and can accurately count the number of people getting in/out of a bus at a fast speed.The test data in different time periods show that the method has strong robustness and stability.
