Crowd Monitoring and Classification: A Survey

Crowd monitoring on public places is very demanding endeavor to accomplish. Huge population and assortment of human actions enforces the crowded scenes to be more continual. Enormous challenges occur into crowd management including proper crowd analysis, identification, monitoring and anomalous activity detection. Due to severe clutter and occlusions, conventional methods for dealing with crowd are not very effective. This paper highlights the various issues involved in analyzing crowd behavior and its dynamics along with classification of crowd analysis techniques. This review summarizes the shortcomings, strength and applicability of existing methods in different environmental scenarios. Furthermore, it overlays the path to device a proficient method of crowd monitoring and classification which can deal with most of the challenges related to this area.
