This document proposes a fast and efficient algorithm for tracking humans in indoor surveillance videos. It uses HOG features and correlation-based methods. Candidate frames are selected using strips along the borders to detect new objects entering the frame. HOG features are extracted only on candidate frames to reduce computation time. A correlation-based method then tracks humans between frames using the highest correlated sample window as the tracked window. Experimental results showed over 86% detection rates on test videos totalling over 6 hours, demonstrating the algorithm can detect and track humans in real-time surveillance applications.
