A Pervasive Framework for Human Detection and Tracking

Abstract

The advent of the Edge Computing (EC) leads to a huge ecosystem where numerous nodes can interact with data collection devices located close to end users. Human detection and tracking can be realized at edge nodes that perform the surveillance of an area under consideration through the assistance of a set of sensors (e.g., cameras). Our target is to incorporate the discussed functionalities to embedded devices present at the edge keeping their size limited while increasing their processing capabilities. In this paper, we propose two models for human detection accompanied by algorithms for tracing the corresponding trajectories. We provide the description of the proposed models and extend them to meet the challenges of the problem. Our evaluation aims at identifying models' accuracy while presenting their requirements to have them executed in embedded devices.
