Abstract

Counting people in a video stream for applications such as video surveillance or imaging statistical systems is considered a challenging task since video streams require complex computations and affected by noisy environment. This paper proposes a hybrid model for counting people using a video stream based on human skin detection and geometrical head recognition. This model is based on detecting single and multiple head-counts, while in motion by positioning the camera in different angle setups. A 45 and 90 camera positions will detect both the skin color information and the head shape of an object simultaneously. The experiments results indicated that the model accurately detects and counts people on real world environments and is robust to changes in viewpoint, scale, and object speed.
