This document provides a report on a people counting project using computer vision. The project was completed by 3 students - Abhinav A, Adithi Bhakta, and Adithi Putturaya, under the guidance of their mentor Dr. Bola Sunil Kamath. The project uses OpenCV, Imutils, Numpy libraries to build a human detection and counting system that can process video frames or images. Key steps included using a HOG descriptor with SVM for detection and building methods to process input from video files, images, or a webcam. The project output was a people counter that could efficiently detect and count humans in supplied inputs.

MENTOR Dr. Bola Sunil Kamath Assistant Professor Gd – III Department of ISE In this python project, we are going to build the Human Detection and Counting System through video or images. This is an intermediate level deep learning project on computer vision, which will help us to master the concepts.
The libraries that we have used:
• OpenCV: A strong library used for machine learning • Imutils: To Image Processing • Numpy: Used for Scientific Computing. Image is stored in a numpy array. • Argparse: Used to give input in command line.
Histogram of Oriented Gradient Descriptor
HOG is a feature descriptor used in computer vision and image processing
for the purpose of object detection. This is one of the most popular techniques for object detection, to our fortune, OpenCV has already been implemented in an efficient way to combine the HOG Descriptor algorithm with Support Vector Machine or SVM.
Steps To Build People Counting Project
1.Import the libraries
2. Create a model which will detect Humans:
We will use HOGDescriptor with SVM already implemented in OpenCV.
3. Detect() method: Video: A video combines a sequence of images to form a moving picture. We call these images as Frame. So in general we will detect the person in the frame. And show it one after another that it looks like a video. That is exactly what our Detect() method will do. It will take a frame to detect a person in it. Make a box around a person and show the frame and return the frame with person bounded by a green box.
4. HumanDetector() method There are two ways of getting Video.
1. Web Camera 2. Path of file stored
In this project, we can take images also. So our method will check if a path is given then search for the video or image in the given path and operate.
5. DetectByPathVideo() method This method is very similar to the previous method except we will give a path to the Video. First, we check if the video on the provided path is found or not.
6. DetectByPathimage() method This method is used if a person needs to be detected from an image.
7. Argparse() method The function argparse() simply parses and returns as a dictionary the arguments passed through your terminal to our script. There will be Three arguments within the Parser:
1. Image: The path to the image file inside your system
2. Video: The path to the Video file inside your system 3. Camera: A variable that if set to ‘true’ will call the cameraDetect() method. Project output:
Conclusion:
In this deep learning project, we have learned how to create a people
counter using HOG and OpenCV to generate an efficient people counter. We developed the project where you can supply the input as: video, image, or even live camera. This is an intermediate level project, which will surely help you in mastering python and deep learning libraries
