The present invention provides a system for visualizing the congestion degree of an entire facility using a monitoring camera. The system detects a crowd from a monitoring camera video and derives the magnitude (number of people) of the crowd from the edge amount thereof, and thereby estimates a congestion state in a range of camera video. The system also calculates a human flow (amount of movement of people) on the basis of a number of passing people counter and the magnitude and movement speed of the crowd, etc., and estimates the number of people in an area other than the range of camera video on the basis of a modeled crowd behavior pattern. The model is constructed by selecting a distribution function and a parameter thereof by a statistical model selection technique such as a Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC). The congestion state is plotted on a map, allowing the congestion state of an area of interest to be grasped at once.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for using facial recognition and mimicry workflows to train cognitive and emotional empathy. The system and methods comprise the use of physiological measurements (e.g., EEG, etc.) in combinations with facial recognition to detect user affect and modify one or more cognitive screening instruments to further promote a user affect. One or more specific emotions associated with one or more specific negative cognitive bias are targeted to influence affect. One or more specific psychopathology may be treated using an emotional recognition training component within a computerized cognitive-bias modification regimen. The regimen may comprise the identification, targeting, and modification of emotions and may utilize one or more facial inputs, cognitive tasks, facial recognition and facial mimicry protocols to adaptively modify one or more attributes of one or more computerized stimuli or interactions within a computerized platform or platform-product. 1. A computer-implemented method for facial image processing , comprising:providing, with a computing device comprising a user interface, an instance of a computerized stimuli or interaction comprising an emotional expression prompt;receiving, with a camera being operably engaged with the computing device, a digital image of a facial expression of a user in response to the computerized stimuli or interaction;processing, with at least one processor, the digital image to determine a valence input and an intensity or arousal input corresponding to the facial expression;comparing, with the at least one processor, the valence input and the intensity or arousal input to a predetermined valence and intensity or arousal range associated with the emotional expression prompt; anddetermining, with the at least one processor, a measure of concordance between the facial expression of the user and the emotional expression prompt.2.
