The present disclosure generally relates to the field of head count determination. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a technique of determining an actual number of passengers on board a means of transport, for example on board an aircraft. A system embodiment comprises a camera arrangement (10) configured to acquire image data on board the means of transport, for example on board the aircraft, and a processing unit (20) configured to determine the actual number of passengers on board the means of transport, for example on board the aircraft, based on the acquired image data. The camera arrangement (10) comprises at least one of one or more cabin corridor cameras (14) and one or more cabin door cameras (16). The one or more cabin corridor cameras (14) are configured and arranged to acquire image data of at least one or more cabin corridors of the means of transport, for example the aircraft. The one or more cabin door cameras (16) are configured and arranged to acquire image data of one or more cabin doors of the means of transport, for example the aircraft.
