Challenges posed by occlusion and switching scenarios significantly impede the reliability of pedestrian tracking. In the current study, we strive to enhance the reliability and also the efficacy of pedestrian tracking in complex scenarios. Particularly, we introduce a new pedestrian tracking algorithm that leverages both the YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once) object detector technique and the StrongSORT algorithm, which is an advanced deep learning multi-object tracking (MOT) method. Our findings demonstrate that StrongSORT, an enhanced version of the DeepSORT MOT algorithm, substantially improves tracking accuracy through meticulous hyperparameter tuning.Overall, the experimental results reveal that the proposed algorithm is an effective and efficient method for pedestrian tracking, particularly in complex scenarios encountered in the MOT16 and MOT17 datasets. The combined use of Yolov8 and StrongSORT contributes to enhanced tracking results, emphasizing the synergistic relationship between detection and tracking modules.

It is necessary to talk about effective pedestrian tracking besides detection so that object remains accurately monitored, here the effective pre-trained algorithms come to achieve this goal in real-time. In this paper, we make a comparison between the detection and tracking algorithms, we applied the transfer learning technique to train the detection model on new sub-classes, after making Images augmentation in previous work, we got better results in detection, reached 0.81 mAP in real-time by using Yolov5 model, with a good tracking performance by the tracking algorithm dependent on detection Deep-SORT.This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permit...

The pedestrian is the most critical object that needs to be detecting and tracking by autonomous vehicles. The major challenges to this mission are caused by the difference in objects like pedestrians in age, gender, clothing, lighting, backgrounds, and occlusion. This paper starts with a brief introduction of problem-related to pedestrians, objects detection framework and Neural Networks Algorithms, and Real-Time Systems. And we focus on pedestrians as moving objects that need to detect, track, and solve problems related to computer vision. And based on our study we present a suggested solution for solving problems related to Pedestrians Detection in real-time particular. These techniques aim to be used in many applications such as Autonomous Vehicles, and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

The conventional methods practiced in most of the educational institutions are by calling names, which is highly time-consuming. The human face is one of the natural traits that can uniquely identify an individual. Therefore, it is used to trace identity as the possibilities for multi-faces to deviate or being duplicated is low. In this project, face databases will be created to pump data into the recognizer algorithm. Then, during the attendance taking session, faces will be compared against the database to seek for identity. The proses start at specific time, and when an individual is identified, its attendance will be taken down automatically saving necessary information into a database system. At the end of the day . In the proposed system, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used to detect faces in images, and deep learning is used in the process. Thus, the computer can recognize faces automatically. The main purpose of this project is to build a face recognition-based attendance monitoring system for Syrian Private University to enhance and upgrade the current attendance process into more efficient and effective as compared to before.
