Crowd Real Time Video Classification, Count and Flow

The need for smart surveillance systems is ever growing in the present days,
involved in purposes such as security and marketing to track the movements of
different classes of people. Our project in computer vision with deep learning is
focussed on segregating the gender composition of people, while recognising and
counting their flow of direction. The project will be used with reference to real-time
video processing. The challenges/problem statement for the project is the lack of
definitive methods to determine the direction of individuals, computationally
expensive object detection models and lack of practical gender detection datasets. In
this paper, the method of object detection with object tracking running in parallel is
suggested to improve processing time of video frames, with a usage of OpenCV to
identify existing, new and out-of-frame objects. A practical dataset of genders from
crowd view to be used to fine-tune a pretrained object detection model is suggested
for application as well.
