We present a new method for obtaining the positions of each person attending an outdoor gathering. From this information it is possible to calculate the density field and the number of people. A dual-camera (visible + infrared (IR)) is mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In this work, we only use the IR channel and present an initial set-up and calibration of the system along with the characterization of a small group of people.
