Abstract

With the increasing demands on video surveillance and business promotion, effective pedestrian counting in surveillance environments has become a hot research topic in computer vision. In this paper, we implement a pedestrian counting system based on multiple object detection and tracking. Region proposal network (RPN) and Real Adaboost classifier are employed to train a head-shoulder detector with high accuracy. We utilize the DSST algorithm to track the position transformations and the size changes of pedestrians. By combining human detection with object tracking together and using detection results to optimize the tracking algorithm, the pedestrian counting system is developed with high robustness against occlusions. We evaluated the system on the videos recorded in the subway station. The results showed that our system achieves a high accuracy and can be used for pedestrian counting in crowded public places.
