Abstract: Human detection and tracking is an important application in intelligent transportation systems. In this paper, we present an approach for people tracking and counting to be used in in-building emergency situations. By combining the Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) detection with background subtraction, the detection algorithm could achieve a more rapid and accurate detection. The Kalman Filter is utilized for the establishment of human trajectory tracking. The automated pedestrian counting system for in-building emergency response has shown its potential with the presented tracking results.
