Popis: Video surveillance is gaining popularity in numerous applications, including facility management, traffic monitoring, crowd analysis, and urban security. Despite the increasing demand for closed-circuit television (CCTV) and related infrastructure in public spaces, there remains a notable lack of readily-deployable automated surveillance systems. In this study, we present a low-cost and efficient approach that integrates the use of computational object recognition to perform fully-automated identification, tracking, and counting of human traffic on camera video streams. Two software implementations are explored and the performance of these schemes is compared. Validation against controlled and non-controlled real-world environments is also demonstrated. The implementation provides automated video analytics for medium crowd density monitoring and tracking, eliminating labor-intensive tasks traditionally requiring human operation, with results indicating great reliability in real-life scenarios.
