D}esign and Implementation of a Human Detector and Counting System using {MATLAB

P. O. Otasowie; I. A. Edeoghon

This research work is aimed at design and implementation of a human detector and counting system using MATLAB. Human detection systems are used to give a measure of the number of people in a given area in a given time. The resolution of this measurement is entirely dependent upon the sophistication of the technology used. In this project computer vision technology was employed with the Viola-Jones algorithm using MATLAB Release 2012 (A) platform to design and implement such a system. Efforts were made to analyze its viability, improve on its accuracy as well as outline the challenges faced in its implementation. The work was deemed satisfactory as it was able to detect and count some numbers of humans in a specific environment as presented by images.
