Tracking people across crowded scenes.

📄 Project Abstract

Studying Artificial Intelligence, I seek to mimic and exceed human intellect and reasoning. People tracking is a problem we do well on a daily basis for any number of reasons, for instance keeping an eye on a pedestrian while driving to avoid collision or identifying potentially abnormal and suspect behaviour and even basic behaviour like not colliding with a fellow walker by. Software implementations of tracking people are useful for many similar reasons, with many applications towards automatic security systems and threat detection. As quoted by Alfred N. Whitehead "Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations that we can do without thinking about them." [27]. Computer Vision in general is a core part of AI and the inner workings of a tracking solution surpass the category of just computer vision as they include complex statistical estimation process and general machine learning techniques applicable to many areas of AI and computing in general, making this p...
