DirectShow Filter To Count People

CLIENT: Quadrox, as a Multitel Research Engineer

DESCRIPTION
Development of a DirectShow filter aimed at counting people crossing a defined area, using the in-house developed image analysis module MvPeopleCounting, part of the MultiVision framework.
The filter analyses a video feed, and detects crossings along a direction (positive or negative depending on the facing direction).
Processing parameters can be configured by the user through an administration interface, alowing to fine tune the detection accordingly to the situation.
The filter is then to be integrated in a surveillance system manufactured by Quadrox.

ROLE
As a Software Developer, I was responsible for the development and integration of the video surveillance DirectShow filter.
The people counting module, and part of the MultiVision framework had first to be ported from Linux to Windows.
The filter then had to be developed, and integrated in the Quadrox infrastructure.
A security module (authentication and encription) also had to be integrated to the system to ensure high security.
Tests had to be done to validate the system for production.
