Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for people counting. The method includes acquiring video data from one or more sensors and learning parameters associated with the one or more sensors. The method further includes detecting one or more objects and extracting learned features from each of the one or more objects. The learned features are identified based on the learning parameters. The method further include detecting, using the processing circuitry and based on the learned features, one or more individuals from the one or more objects. Then, the one or more individuals are tracked based on a filter. The method further includes updating a people counter as a function of a position of each tracked individual.
