Detection of a moving human is challenging for real-time systems. Misdetection in high alert security areas may lead to heavy losses. This paper presents an optimized approach to avoid this misdetection in sensitive areas. Rotation invariant optimized correlation filters are used for detection of humans. Some pre-processing algorithms such as background subtraction and color space conversion have been linked to the correlation filters to minimize processing time and maximize the accuracy of target detection. The experimental tests of the proposed methodology validate that better accuracy can be achieved if the proposed optimized approach is utilized for moving human detection in real-time systems. In future work, the proposed approach will be extended to detect human activity at night and thermal imagery.
