ABSTRACT

Project deals with counting people by finding

contours.

Track object using homography technique.

A comparison between proposed system and

existing machine learning technique.

INTRODUCTION

Need for surveillance system.

Existing Machine Learning techniques & its

complexity.

Existing object tracking techniques.

COMPARISON

PROBLEM STATEMENT

To develop a stable system for :

Effective counting of people at distinct
locations.
Trigger warning when human detected at
restricted area or time.
Trigger warning for missing object when not
found.

LITERATURE SURVEY

Human detection & tracking based on stereo vision (Songmin

Jia, Liang Zhao)
HOG & Kalman filter for video-based human detection &
tracking (Changyan Li, Lijun Guo)

RESULTS

CONCLUSION

The developed system is stable.

Robust to lighting changes.

Object tracking is highly accurate.

People counting is accurate in most cases.

LIMITATIONS

Occlusions are not dealt with.

Shadow intervenes with people count.

Need for templates for object tracking.

FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS

Ability to track individuals using machine learning.

Usage of latest background subtraction algorithm

& filters.

Increase robustness of people counting in indoor

environments.
