Person Detection for an Orthogonally Placed Monocular Camera

Figure 2

Overall diagram of a person counting system. The system processes images streamed by a monocular camera. Each image is firstly examined for a presence of persons. Positive samples are then associated with existing tracking models of persons. If sample is not associated with any existing model, a new model is initialized. If a tracking model leaves scene, which is defined by virtual lines, counting is triggered.
