Fast People Counting Using Head Detection from Skeleton Graph

In this paper, we present a new method for counting people.This method is based on the head detection after asegmentation of the human body by skeleton graph process.The skeleton silhouette is computed and decomposed into aset of segments corresponding to the head , torso and limbs.This structure captures the minimal information about theskeleton shape. No assumption is made about the viewpoint,this is done after the head pose process. Several resultspresent the efficiency of the labelling process , particularlyits structural properties for the detection of heads within acrowd. A proposed method has been tested with an experimentof counting the number of pedestrians passing in aspecific area.
