Merina Kundu, Dhriti Sengupta, Jayati Ghosh Dastidar . Tracking Direction of Human Movement - An Efficient Implementation using Skeleton. International Journal of Computer Applications. 96, 13 ( June 2014), 27-33. DOI=10.5120/16855-6722
Sometimes a simple and fast algorithm is required to detect human presence and movement with a low error rate in a controlled environment for security purposes. Here a light weight algorithm has been presented that generates alert on detection of human presence and its movement towards a certain direction. The algorithm uses fixed angle CCTV camera images taken over time and relies upon skeleton transformation of successive images and calculation of difference in their coordinates.
