Merina Kundu, Dhriti Sengupta, Jayati Ghosh Dastidar · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2014

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.
