The dissertation undertakes the critical application of establishing smarter surveillance systems to improve security measures in various environments. Human detection and tracking are two image processing methods that can contribute to the development of a smart surveillance system. These techniques are used to identify and detect moving humans in a surveyed area. The research enables the incorporation of personnel detection and tracking algorithms to enhance standard security measures that can be utilized at ports of entry where security is a major hurdle. This system allows authorized operators on any supported console to monitor and receive different alerts levels to indicate human presence.
