Tracking Direction of Human Movement - An Efficient Implementation using Skeleton (1506.08815v1)

Abstract: Sometimes a simple and fast algorithm is required to detect human presence and movement with a low error rate in a controlled environment for security purposes. Here a light weight algorithm has been presented that generates alert on detection of human presence and its movement towards a certain direction. The algorithm uses fixed angle CCTV camera images taken over time and relies upon skeleton transformation of successive images and calculation of difference in their coordinates.
