Tracking of a person in semi-dense crowd

Security has always been the main agenda in ensuring the safety and welfare for government and agencies especially in public areas where possible threat that could cause a massive damage is intolerable. For this reason, immediate steps such as putting on CCTV cameras and employing sophisticated surv...
