METHOD OF LEARNING COEFFICIENTS OF POPULATION ESTIMATION, AND METHOD OF ESTIMATING THE POPULATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of learning population estimation coefficients in a reference area, comprising the implementation by data processing means (11) of an equipment (10) of steps of: (a) For each of a plurality of relay antennas (2a, 2b) defining a first Voronoi cell partition of said reference area, obtaining the value over time for said Voronoi cell of a first mobile telephony parameter representative of the presence of subscribers of a telephone operator; (b) For each block of a set of blocks defining a second partition of said reference area, calculating the value over time for the block of said first parameter, in function, for each Voronoi cell having a non-zero intersection with said block: ○ the value of said first parameter obtained for said cell; ○ the surface of said intersection with respect to the surface of all said cell; and ○ the population of said block relative to the populations of the blocks having a non-zero intersection with said cell; (c) Learning the coefficients of a model linking at least said first parameter to the population, from a learning database. The present invention also relates to a method for estimating the population in a given area.
